Christmas Cards? No! New Year’s Cards!

Even though I had some time off in December, it still got hectic. I think I just cannot avoid it with all the things I want to do before Christmas. Baking cookies. Getting great presents for my loved ones. Going to the Christmas market. Decorating the apartment and and and... It is 100% my own fault, so instead of complaining I decided to do what I wanted to do and not stress about the things I didn’t had time to do. Like Christmas cards. I didn’t even send out Christmas cards. So after the Christmas days, I decided to send at least some New Year’s cards to my lovely friends overseas.

So I took some aluminium foil from the kitchen and made a 2012 out of it, I blew up a few balloons, bought some shiny hats at the dollar store and forced my family to dress up one day prior to New Year’s Eve. Then my lovely husband set up his camera with remote control and we shoot some photos of our little family. It was so much fun, seriously, and it only took 10 minutes or so. You don’t have more time than that with a 1,5-year-old one J

And voila: we had great photos not only for our New Year’s cards, but also for us as a memory of New Year’s 2011/2012.

@ Christiane: Ich kann mich noch an die Falsches-Grinsen-Phase von meinem kleinen Bruder erinnern. Das geht auch wieder vorbei. Versprochen!

Mit sehr echtem Grinsen von mir: mittlerweile (2012) bestimmt (so hoffe ich)!

Wenn 'Der Kleine' das hier liesst, zieht er uns wohl beide an den Ohren hinauf in seine luftige Groesse, oder?!
Mein eigener 'kleiner Bruder' ist mir naemlich ordentlich ueber den Kopf gewachsen; von 'klein' nicht mehr die geringste Spur! Ich muss JETZT 'schoen Maennchen' machen, wenn dieser Herr mich scharf anschaut; frueher war das genau umgekehrt - seufz plus ;-) :-D

Liebe Gruesse,
Gerlinde
