Shutterfly funness

I was looking for a new way to send out holiday cheer, remembering that growing up my mother would spend her nights preparing her "annual letter". I don't have time for that, but I still wanted to send out love and good wishes. I stumbled accross Shutterfly a while ago (when Lyla was born actually, birth announcments were critical!!), and looked at their Holiday cards. I found so many that I wanted to use, they were each so precious.
I haven’t decided on what design I want yet, but you can be sure, it will be colourful and happy. Just like Lyla and I are around the holidays.
And another great thing about Shutterfly, I know they’ll be around to help me announce any new arrivals (baby or otherwise) in a most charming way. I love it. Simple and fun. Now if only everything else (baking) was this easy, right?!

So go along and check out their stuff. Its all awesome. My favourite stuff right now is of course the holiday photo cards, it makes me smile.

We went to East Side Mario's for supper.
Lyla liked the water.

And the ice cream.

Sam, Lyla and the Bunny

We visited our furry friend on Saturday. It was fun. Much more successful than our visit with Santa in Decemeber. Thanks to the Taylor's for coming with us :)

Beware

We cage very exotic, furiously dangerous animals at our house.
Consider this your warning!
