2023 Christmas Card Reveal

Every year, my parents and I take photos specifically for our Christmas Card. It has been a tradition since 2015. I love how these photos turn out each year and its a nice way to end the year- taking family photos. Without any further delay, here is the 2023 Spano Family Christmas Card.

Cards of Christmas Past

As I reflect on Christmas' past, all the memories flood my mind and make my heart sing. These memories are so near and dear to my heart.

There were Christmas' when I was a kid, where I was wrote a letter to Santa, leaving out cookies and milk for him, and carrots for his reindeer; spreading reindeer food on the front lawn making sure every single part of the lawn was covered to make sure he saw my house.  I remember sharing Christmas with my whole family- the aunts, uncles, cousins and in-laws at someones house and the joy that there was love and family and  joy. There were Chrstimas' spent at home, sometimes with my grandma and aunt and parents; sometimes with just my parents. There were Christmas' that I received the gift I had been wanting all year; gifts I didn't know I wanted and some gifts that were total surprises. There was one Christmas, a boyfriend told me he loved me for the first time and there was that one time where I got stuck in the bathroom because I was so stressed, I slammed the door and it jammed. Every Christmas memory is forever in my memory- the good and the bad. 

This year for Christmas, my parents continued our tradition of taking a special photo for our Christmas Card. While tomorrow I will reveal this year's card, today I am sharing past Christmas cards. We have been doing this tradition since 2011 and I am SO happy we have continued it for so long.

Christmas Card 2015

I am very excited to reveal our Christmas card for this year. Eric helped us out by taking our photos down by the bay and it ended up being such a beautiful day. The weather was warmer than usual and the sky did not have a cloud in it! We lucked out for this early December day.

 We had a ton of fun taking these photos. The sign we are holding says "smile if you are naughty" and Daddy and I are holding coal.


Here are our past Christmas Cards. I want to get frames and display them each Christmas. I love seeing what photos we choose and what was the big moments for us each year.

This was the year I graduated college and we took a trip to Disney World.

This old photo is one of my favorites. Daddy had to go to work so he was in his uniform; Mama and I were all dressed up.

 My Twenty-Fifth birthday party (top left/bottom right) and we attended a wedding of a family friend.

 This was a variety of photos from the past year. 

What was your favorite Christmas card you received this year?

Christmas Photo Outtakes

On Saturday afternoon, we took our Christmas card photos. We had a lot of fun but of course not all the photos were perfect- we had a lot of goofs! I love these goof photos because they show our fun side.I'll show our Christmas Card in a few weeks but here are some of my favorite goofs!

Do you take Christmas Card photos each year?
