Christmas Card 2009

Matt and I really wanted to send out our first Christmas card this year; we even took a picture for it! But after looking over everything, we decided we didn't really have the money to print out and send a card to all our family and friends. So, I decided to blog our Christmas card this year instead! Here is our year in review:

January 2009: We had an awesome New Years Eve party with a murder mystery dinner, written by yours truly, and we went and saw Jeff Dunham live at Energy Solutions Arena.
February 2009: For my 25th birthday, we had a massive party at the Layton Surf n Swim with lots of family and friends.
March 2009: Several baby showers from work, my family and old ward, and Matt's family.
April 2009: Kalianna Dace joined our family as the best April Fools Day trick ever! (arriving 3 weeks early)
May 2009: Had some professional pictures taken of Kalianna for her newborn pics and birth announcement.
June 2009: Kalianna was blessed by her daddy.
July 2009: We went to Oregon with our good friends, Brian and Anna Johnson.
August 2009: Matt had a friend (Sveta) visit from Latvija, which doesn't happen very often!
September 2009: Both Matt and Kalianna's first time going horseback riding.
October 2009: Matt and I celebrated four wonderful years of marriage! Matt also turned 26 and Kalianna got her first taste of Halloween, dressed as a little fairy.
November 2009: We had a great Thanksgiving with family and got our first professional family pictures taken (technically in October).
December 2009:
Merry Christmas!
With Love from Matt, Stacy, Kalianna, Sobaka, and Kutse Carroll

Such a cute family pic at the bottom! Love it! We've been married 6 1/2 years and I've never sent out Christmas cards, so don't feel bad. :) It was fun to read!

I agree with Charlene, Stace! Your card was incredible! What a creative way to send one when money is tight. :) (I usually say "the heck with it--maybe next year! haha)You wrote a murder mystery game??? Any possibilities of sending me a copy of the script? I'd love to read it. :) I, too, am interested in what you've been writing. You've got such a beautiful family! How I miss our wonderful times at the writing center! :(

Four years already? It seems like just yesterday I was creating Elder Carroll's departure packet! Congrats and you are a lovely family.
