Not the average Christmas card...

When I was a kid, Christmas cards were a little folded piece of card stock with signatures and maybe a clever phrase. With technology, came progression of the Christmas card. Picture cards with cute "snowy" scenes (even though most of my friends are from the south and it's 90 degrees on Christmas Day) beach scenes, video clips, etc. We tried sending the typical family picture card with us in a studio, posed and smiling big but it didn't work for us. 

So, we decided to go a different route. I can honestly say that some of our best memories were making these cards. It seems that a lot of families have opted to try our non traditional card theme over the years but we love making these cards and they really express our silliness as a family so we will continue our little tradition. 


Here are a few of our favorites:

"Be bad this year and save Santa the trip!"



"Mommy's silent night"



"Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell ROCK!"


"Staching through the snow"


And with our accident prone family, this one probably describes our life the best!

"The Hermanns got run over by a reindeer, side swiped by a sleigh, and roasted over an open fire!"
