Jenna was born in November and I remember what a beautiful day it was when we took her home from the hospital. She is now 27! I can't believe that many years have passed. Time truly does fly. (I know that's not a news bulletin to most of you!)
November, is the continuation of a family tradition that is very meaningful to me....our annual Christmas picture for the letter that goes out to our friends and family. My mom began this tradition when I was one and I have carried it on.
My mom would spend hours handwriting her letters (individually), and in the mail they went. Even though I type one letter and copy it, make address labels and return address labels, stamp my cards, my 250 plus card project takes several hours to complete!
This year presented me with my first real challenge! Jaycee lives out of town now (stinker). Thankfully, she decided to come home (for the 1st time since June) the weekend of Jenna's birthday. I just had to pray that Trenton would be here since he works out of town as a firefighter. Sunday, November 17th (Jenna's birthday) was the day! Mary Kate Mannino (MKM Photography) was available and off we went!
Trenton and Jenna suggested that we do football jerseys as our theme this year. Sounded good to me! Of course, they were the only one's to have jerseys in their possession, so the rest were borrowed!
Below are a few of my favorites. I haven't picked out the one I will use for our Christmas card, yet.
As you can see, it was a wonderful family day! I know as our family grows, it will be hard to get everyone together for our picture. So, we take it one year at a time.....right?
