Every year, I make my in-laws a
calendar for Christmas. My mother-in-law hints every year that she wants one, so it makes her gift on the list easy! The first year I made her one was the year before I married my husband. My stepson was 14 and my son was 3. I was able to gather my pictures and upload them and make a beautiful calendar for her, my son's grandma, and I even snuck in one for me at work and one for us here at home. Unfortunately, my step-son, now 17 1/2 thinks he's too cool for pictures. I have to scrounge or hide to get pictures of him. Fortunately, my 6 year old is eager to have pictures taken. Its a wonderful personalized gift and happily received by the people in my family!
As for Christmas Cards, I am trying to decide between a few...
