Christmas cards are my fave

I didn’t think I would ever send out Christmas cards until we had kids but then I realized we’re the hippest, most attractive couple our family and friends know so a card from us is like the highlight of the year.* This was one of those projects that actually turned out pretty much how I wanted it to. A little cheesiness, a little cutting, a little folding, a little hot chocolate in the pouch and you got yourself a card. Thanks to our friend Katie for taking the photos when Ryan was less than enthused and had finals coma.
*Completely kidding. Please don’t unsubscribe because of my false conceitedness.
