I can't decide what I want to do about this. I haven't sent them out in a couple years. One year I sent a letter to update everyone because a lot had changed in our lives, we moved out of state, Mr. Fun got a new job and we had a baby. We are at that point again, not the baby part. Mr. Fun made a huge career change, we moved out of state and our kids are changing and growing so quickly. Then I think, well, I blog so why write a letter. But I have no clue who reads my blog. I know my mom and aunt do. Do people really want a photo of us? Will they hang it on their fridge or toss it after the holiday season?
Paper Coterie is having a sale on their holiday cards through the 4th. This means if I am going to do this, I need to do it now. I just can't decide if I should or not. Also, who do I send them to? I don't have addresses of many.
So this is me....not being able to make a decision, no surprise there.
Should I send them, should I write a short letter. Not a braggy letter, just an update. I won't include that G is a straight A student or that JJ is taking multiple AP classes.....not my style. I will include where Mr. Fun works now, how the kids are adjusting and that JJ doesn't have her license yet....that's more my style.

And a little bragging would be ok.
Holiday cards are hard. I just spent a lot of money on holiday cards this year. We had our first family picture taken in three years after our son died. We had one of our other sons hold his picture in the photo and it actually turned out really nice. It's deeply personal for me, so I hope no one just throws it away.
I keep my cards up for a while and then I put them all in a book so I can go back and look at the photos. It's fun seeing how the kids have grown over the years
