I have a love/hate affair with Christmas cards.

I hate keeping up with the address’, deciding what “look” we’re going for, and all the other rigamarole that goes along with sending holiday cheer to our friends and family. On the other hand, I love sending a little something to those we love letting them know that we are thinking about them.

It doesn’t hurt that it makes for a good excuse to force the family into cute clothes and splurge on family pics!

This year we decided that we wanted simple family photos… nothing that screamed Christmas… don’t get me wrong, I love me some props; however, I always feel a little silly having the pics out in March with Santa Hats and Antler Headbands. We still have a few Christmas cards to get in the mail, but most have already been sent out to our amazing friends and family.

So without further ado, here is the 2014 Mack Family Christmas Card!

This year Laura Morsman Photography captured our family. I have a HUGE secret woman crush on Laura… no seriously, she’s pretty much amazing. Not only is she fantastic with kids, but she’s so incredibly calm, patient, and overall, just easy to work with. Plus she’s the Austin Moms Blog Official Photographer!

And have you seen her work?????? I mean I know the subjects are pretty spectacular, but look beyond our cuteness and see the quality in her work. She has an unmistakeable style yet somehow makes each family look like one of a kind. Obviously I’m a little over the moon about our pics this year. I’m pretty sure Laura took 400+ pics of us {some probably not so flattering}, but here are my favorites that I can’t wait to display in our new house. Laura fills up fast for her mini session so make sure to like her Facebook page to stay in the loop for 2015!

 Now for your viewing and laughing pleasure… the hubs caught the baby, I promise!

I know we still have a couple of weeks until Christmas, but from our family to yours…. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
