The answer?
"That would be FUN!"
There wasn't really any reason that we couldn't just print all three of them, so we did. This year has been a "year of fun" and so it seemed fitting for us to do this fun thing. After printing and randomly putting them into envelopes, we ended up narrowing in our own favorites but we loved sending out all three versions.
Here are all three Christmas Cards we sent out this year:
Card A-
Merry Christmas {with love, David, Shantel, Lydia, Austin, Caleb, Lucy}
Peaden- 2022 year of FUN
Peaden- 2022 year of FUN
True fun involves playfulness, connection and flow - this year we spent lots of time laughing, playing, talking, adventuring and we feel like this was a "year of fun". Second Nephi says, "Men are that thy might have joy" and this truly was a year of joyfulness, happiness, and true fun as a family. We want to share a few of the fun things that filled our year. We are truly grateful for the daily joy and peace the gospel of Jesus Christ brings us.
