I guess I should clarify---I love getting Christmas cards with family pictures enclosed
or photo Christmas cards!
It doesn't matter if the photo card is from someone I see everyday---because the picture looks nothing like they do in person.
LOL!
Let's face it---I can attest to the fact that I do not look as good in person on a daily basis as I do in our Christmas card photo. (Don't all nod your head in agreement at once)
When I open up these cards I pay special attention to the moms in the pictures, who actually got to take some time that morning to curl their hair and take their time applying their make up.
Don't you wish it was picture day everyday.....just for that reason alone?!
That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.

AMEN, sista! BTW, you looked perfect in your picture, too. So did the guys, but they don't even have to worry about hair and make-up, etc., etc.
I love receiving xmas cards too and esp. picture ones!
