Our Christmas Card

This year, I cheated and used a picture we took at a friend's wedding as our picture. Maybe having baby boy here next year will encourage me to actually have family pictures done.  I loved our cards this year, mostly because of the simplicity. Okay, let's be honest, my favorite part was adding Remington's name to the cards. I ordered them the day we found out he was a boy.

Christmas Checklist

Here's how we did for our Fall checklist

Go to Gatlinburg
This breaks my heart, as our annual campsite is a complete loss in the wildfires.  Many, many prayers for our sweet, sweet friends. 
Get two potted Mums to balance out our balcony
Have a Yard Sale
Take Christmas Card Pictures
I cheated. We used a picture from a friend's wedding. But it was a good one!
Go to a pumpkin patch to pick our pumpkin
Carve pumpkins
Take baby announcement pictures and announce
Have 3rd Annual Friendsgiving

3 out of 8. That's failing in Metro Nashville Schools, but hey, who's counting?
Even though I say this every season, maybe we will do better on our next checklist.

Christmas Checklist
Get all of our Christmas Shopping done under budget
Make my way to the cemetery to put some poinsettias on Dad's marker
Have our 2nd annual Gingerbread House night
Make an ornament for 2016
Mail out Christmas Cards
Buy stockings
