I’ll be happy to send cards.

I doubt so -
But to avoid confusion I’ll leave it to **BroomStick** to do the updates…

Our cards were sent out Saturday. My daughter bought a metal Christmas mailbox she found at Michaels to put outside to receive her mail. So I’m going to stick her cards in there. She gets so excited getting mail.

I will have to wait until this weekend when I pick up my kids to get them to sign them. They will be out next Monday at the latest. With the exception of the ones over seas they’ll be there by Christmas.

By the way - for the recipients - they were all written (and then stickers added) by the sprog…I just passed her the addresses.
Fingers crossed - they will reach in time.
BTW - at 55 cents each for postage - I wanna send more!

We got two today. My girls were giggling over them – especially the one of the enormous cat with the caption – “Missing turkey? Haven’t seen it.” Ha. My toddler particularly likes the one with the pic of the pretty doggy in the snow.
Thank you, Dopers. You made my girls very happy today.

Four cards recieved today: two from **pai325** , and two more from California. One of the ones from California had a cat playing with the decorated Christmas tree singing “O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, your ornaments are history”. My oldest found that so funny… he could hardly take a breath in between the belly laughs. **pai325’s** cards had awesome pics of cats and dogs… soon my boys were in deep discussion, theorizing which pet would be destroying which Christmas ornament 😃
Dopers are awesome!

Last mailed today – here’s hoping the Pony Express makes it. Fast. Mine have cards in cards which makes them easy to spot.

We received a card today from pai325 my daughter loved. She was so excited. Thanks for the cute pictures of your cat and dog.
The cat/dog humor cards from California are from me. I figured each kid would probably like to open their own as much as my kid likes to open and receive cards. I thought they were funny too.
