Holiday Cheer 2024 {1} - Holiday Card

It’s been a hot minute since my last “Holiday Cheer” post, but this one feels especially fitting. I had every intention of sending out a holiday card at the start of 2024. In fact, I even designed a beautiful card using photos from a recent Oelrich family photo session in late November 2023.

But life had other plans. Early 2024 brought a heaviness I hadn’t anticipated, and that carefully crafted card never made it past my desk. There they’ve sat ever since, waiting for a moment that never quite arrived.

The holiday card was just too lovely to discard (or recycle, as my eco-conscious self prefers). So, while the card didn’t make it to everyone’s mailbox, it still holds a special place in my heart and deserves a spot here on the blog.

One card did go out on time. In fact, I was able to hand-deliver it to my parents during my visit with them in late January 2024. It was such a sweet moment to see their smiles as they held the card, and it felt even more special bringing along our new puppy, Lexi, to give my mom plenty of puppy cuddles. 

2024 was a rollercoaster year—challenging in so many ways, yet filled with moments of joy and love. Looking back, it feels like a brighter chapter than 2025 has been so far.

So, without further ado, here’s a peek at our Happy New Year card from 2024!
