Christmas Cards, 2014

So a few weeks ago, Erika did a Christmas Card roundup about the cards she received this season. I realize we are well into 2015 (how did THAT happen?!?!), but since we received some cards this week, I don't feel like this is too out of context.

You all got a chance to see our two cards which we sent out in this post so I will just focus on the ones we received this year.

Our non photo cards sit on the windowsill in our office.

See, it's useful having a window indoors!

Total number of cards/letters we received this year: 32 (as of January 5)
Number of those cards which were from our kids: 3
Number of cards which were not photo cards: 18
Number of cards where people dressed up in reindeer onesies: 1
Number of Christmas letters we received by e-mail: 2
Number of cards we received from other countries: 5
Number of people who accidentally sent us two cards: 1
     This was actually really handy because their card had a front and a back!
Number of cards from blog friends Dave doesn't know: 3
Number of cards with pictures from Jennie Wiebe Photography: 2 (not including ours!)
Number of letters we received with a family picture I had taken: 1 (!) 
Number of owl magnets I am borrowing from Rachel to display all our (photo) cards on the fridge: 3

Our Christmas cards hanging on our fridge.

Note: All the pictures of Sam, Willem, and Tessa are magnets which is super handy.

(Not included in the count: a photo of Dave's extended family in Israel, two birth announcements, and a picture of friends of ours who moved to Kenya.)

I love sending and receiving Christmas cards. I love seeing our friends on our fridge all year round. The kids and I look at these cards on a daily basis. I love how Rachel randomly points people out and talks about them. I just plain love Christmas cards. And if you still want to send us one, go ahead! I can always borrow more fridge magnets from Rachel :) Or, you know, I could go out and buy my own!
