Turkey trot update: Thanksgiving 2012 is in the books, and this year I have a lot to be thankful for…

As soon as my Thanksgiving meal food coma had worn off (and my Black Friday purchases were made), I was busy getting ready for the next holiday – Christmas. I love decking my halls with all things glittery and gold and am convinced that nothing beats sitting next to a lit tree catching up on some shows (Oh hey, Blair!).

Although, Karl could have cared less…

My to-do list is starting to fill up with holiday-related items, such as shopping for perfect gifts, wrapping presents and cookie baking, but firsts things first: we need to order our Christmas cards.

During our Branstad family Christmas card photo shoot we got the chance to have a little mini-session, and they turned out great. (Thanks Meg!) Now the only problem is picking just one for our card. Which one do you think we should use?
