Close your eyes......

and imagine. You just got home from getting the mail. You have a big pile of it in your hand. But there is this one large, square red envelope that grabs your attention. It is handwritten and addressed to you and your family. it has one of those personalized photo stamps in the top right hand corner with a picture of two of the cutest kids you have ever seen. you look to the top left the see who it's from and it says "The Coppola Family." You think to yourself, "How the heck did she find the time to mail out Christmas cards this year? She must be so busy with those two little ones. " (Ha, ha. Okay, that was a little much, I know) Anyways, you open your envelope, and this is what you find....




It's your Christmas card!!!!! From Tula Belle and Maverick John!!!! Of course they didn't forget about you. It was just a little late, that's all. You wonder if that was really the best picture thier parents could have gotten of the two of them. I assure you that this was by far the best of not one, or two, but THREE seperate photo shoots. You smile to yourself and think, "I don't know how she does it, but that Christa always seems to pull through in the end. I can't believe she really sent out cards this Christmas. Wasn't she just in Canada? And isn't she in New York now? Just how does the girl do it all?"

***BACK TO REALITY***

Well I wish that really was the case but unfortunately it's not. Sorry you all didn't get a card mailed to you this year. I really wanted to send them out but just did not find the time. We didn't even get this picture done until two days before we left for CT, and after two very miserably failed previous attempts. I hope the "e-card" finds you well.

From our family to yours, we are wishing you the Merriest Christmas of all! May it be filled with all the joy and wonder and excitement it can hold, and hoping you are surrounded by loving family, fabulous food and a peaceful and warm spirit. What a wonderful season and reason to celebrate!

Happy Holidays Everyone!
