Year in Review... Finalists for the Christmas Card

I was trying to put together our Christmas card so I went through all my photos and separated these out as a sampling of our year. In the end, I picked a card with a lot of photos, but not this many... it was hard to choose. I can't believe how much older the kids looked in the later photos. Alice's hair grew quite a bit and they both got taller. It's been a very busy but good year. I always like to have people and places and things represented on the card. Being right on the ranch has really put us in the middle of physical beauty and I notice it everyday in our beautiful views. It's a lot of work too!
