It's the Final Countdown!

Hope y'all had a blessed Christmas!

The previous 3 posts reviewed 8 of our top 10 Christmas cards and we are finally down to the last two cards. Before ranking them, I will post the cards and the wrap it up at the end. So here are the two cards...

Christmas 2006
This card was probably one of our best ideas...or maybe it was the next one? The idea was to illustrate what it's like trying to do a photo shoot with the family dogs. Of course we have awesome dogs, so it was easy for us to show how hard it is. We can't decide which of the "goof-ups" is our favorite. For me, its a toss up between the one of T-Bone sitting alone and the one where Jezebel is facing the wrong way. This was definitely the best time we had actually making the card.

Christmas 2007
This card was probably one of our best ideas...or maybe it was the previous one? The idea was to show the kids sleeping and what they were dreaming of this Christmas. To make this card, I just went through our library of photos looking for pics of the kids sleeping. Then I had to go through all the pics and decide what they would be dreaming about. We had just bought Jezebel a kiddie pool that summer and she loved it. T-Bone loved do anything as long as it was with me. We had lots of fun together on runs and he loved to hold his own leash and give himself a walk. Tiger II (his first card appearance) was always sleeping, so I figured that was what he dreamed about. The photo of T-Bone and me is one of my favorites.


So those are our final two cards. Holly and I talked it over. We really can't decide between the two. They both crack us up. For dog owners, I'm sure y'all have had conversations with your dog and speak for your dog during the conversation. When they speak, you probably have a certain voice or accent you use for them. It is that kind of fun and love for your dog that these two cards embody. It's not a cop out, we really just can't decide. So we have a tie for #1.

If you don't like ties, then you tell us who #1 is!
Best Christmas card, 2006 or 2007?

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Jesus was born with the ultimate purpose of ending his life on the cross for our salvation and to give us a life we can't earn on our own.
