Christmas Card 2013
Merry Christmas from my family to yours!
I am a wee bit obsessed with Christmas cards. It my favorite part about Christmas. I start brainstorming about the “theme” in the summer. I scope out outfits and locations a month before hand. I spend a few hours (and a glass of wine or two) designing them online. I even mail one to myself so I can enjoy opening one straight from the mailbox.
OK, I’m very obsessed with Christmas cards.
I wish I could send one to you all. Truly. Luckily, I can share them virtually with you here : )

Funny story about this Christmas card. And a little advice to other newlywed couples sending out Christmas cards to everyone they know. Probably a smart idea to avoid a Christmas song lyric with the word “Baby” in it, because some people will see that word and immediately think “Is a pregnancy announcement?!” And the fact that you chose your card to be blue to go with the whole “Cold Outside” theme will make some people think it’s also announcing that “it’s a boy”. Ha!
Definitely overlooked that when we I was designing this. Got a few funny text messages from friends and family after they opened it. Had Shawn and I cracking up all December long. Whoops!
Have a great Christmas everybody!

I laughed my butt off with blue card and “baby it’s cold outside”. LOL. Sorry, yes, it does look like a baby announcement is hidden. OMG. It’s beautiful though! Happy New Year, Natalie!
You and Shawn look adorable in your Christmas card! :) And congrats on celebrating your 1 year anniversary. Seattle is a great city to celebrate it in. Thanks for sharing it with us virtually. I love reading about it. HUGS! :)
Thanks Anne! We had a great time in Seattle. It rained most of the time, but luckily we love the rain. So many yummy restaurants : )
Haha, I would have never thought that a song would have inspired such controversy. You guys are so cute together. :) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, my friend!
Haha! It’s been too funny. Glad to know people will be so excited when we are pregnant. Will have to make that Christmas card super obvious. Ha! Hope you had a great Christmas too, and have a wonderful New Year!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your hubby. Beautiful card Natalie.
Btw, my hubby is from Lake Tahoe. We just visited there in September. It’s so beautiful.
Thanks Kathy! Hope you and Kurt had a great Christmas together. Loved your pictures on Instagram : ) And how fun that Kurt is from Tahoe! It’s our favorite place to go! We live in the East Bay Area, so it’s about a 3.5-4 hour drive. We go up all. the. time! Mostly South Lake and stay at the Mont Bleu Casino. It’s our *favorite*!

I love Christmas cards, too! So funny about “baby”. :) Your card is super cute, and you all look super happy! Hope you had a great Christmas!
Thanks Ashley! Christmas cards are my *favorite*! Obsessed. Hope you had a great Christmas as well!
That was my first thought…is she pregnant?? Lol but then i remembered the wine tasting photos from last weekend and figured otherwise. Merry Christmas!!
Haha, you’re not alone. Quite a few people thought the same thing. Whoops! Hope you and Jon had a great first married Christmas : )
Haha! That is hilarious! That didn’t even occur to me!
I’m so glad you didn’t think that! It’s been pretty mixed. I think it’s mostly people who aren’t familiar with the song. Hope you and your family had a great Christmas!
