Hill Christmas Card 2010

We got our Christmas cards out in time this year. Shocker. (Remember last year?) Anyway, my horrible family made me shoot the family picture the DAY after I got home from the hospital with Evie -so here she is at 4 days old. It is our first real picture together in the last four years. Every other year we have had to be photographed separately because we are hardly ever all together in the Fall/Winter.

We always have a 5-Minute Update that we send out and this year, I wanted to make it more fun by making a game of Chutes & Ladders. This way, you could see our family highs and lows -though the lows are just funny... like when I admit how much weight I gained with Evie... fortunately, I've lost 30lb of it already. Seriously, I have no shame. After I set it all up, brilliant Mike illustrated our board game. I think it turned out really cute and it was hilarious to cut out our game pieces and see our heads floating around the board.

Want to see more past Christmas cards I've done? Here is 2009, 2008 and 2007.

    So darling and clever! I love your taste.

    I was wondering if you know the font that says "chutes and ladders game pieces" I've been trying to figure out what it is for so long. Thank you.

    ps. your baby is beautiful!!
