Here’s a look at my personal Christmas Card for this year. From my family to yours, and all of us here at Crabapple Photography, have a very Merry Christmas!

Then I add in a couple more fun photos on the back as well as text with wishes for a happy new year to come.

The snowball fight! It didn’t even make it on the card but they had a lot of fun doing it!
