This year's collection thus far
In my family, sending out a Krieg Family Christmas Card is a tradition we take VERY seriously. As soon as the calendar hits Jan 1, my mom is already planning for next year's rendition. While we give her a hard time about her persistence in finding the perfect picture to pair with an equally sublime and skillful saying, we're all glad she forces us to make the effort come December.
A history of the Krieg family's winter wit:

In 2004, it's our hope he brings you a bundle of wealth,
which he tells us is really just happiness and good health!

Who says parents today can't control their children?

I think my favorite is still the first. There's nothing like showing your kids off to the world in shinguards, Tevas, and fish-blood soaked t-shirts.
Which do YOU like best?
Stay tuned - much more Christmas traditions to come!
