I spent HOURS on prepping and designing this year's card.  I'll spare you the details, but let's just say, I will try my best to start the process earlier next year!


These four pictures did not make it on the final card.  I think they show my daughter's happy, mischievous spirit quite well!

I got her to play Peek-a-Boo to make her laugh.
