Wishing You a Merry Christmas!

It's been a Collier Family tradition for over thirty years now...
Each year we have created and sent out a photo greeting card.

Both sons were away serving missions and are represented by the snowmen. Notice their name tags and ties.

Last year we remade our "family" portrait because it marked the year that every member had his/her sweetheart.

This year marks our 31st year of marriage. The family greeting card is becoming such a challenge as our family moves and grows. Potts and I decided that it was a good time to take the leap and shake things up a bit!


Fine Art Photography has been a focus for Potts this year. One of his creations it featured on this year's Christmas Card.




This image was taken in February of this year on Temple Square during a heavy snowstorm.
I love the subtle depiction of the Salt Lake Temple in the background. 


And on the inside...
This is our Wish for You!
Merry Christmas, everyone!

  1. I love these cards! And what's more, is I can feel your family's love grow through the years as I watch the images change. You've got a beautiful family and are in inspiration to me, Kathryn!

  3. Those are so fun! I'm mostly impressed that you had that many kids in those few years and maintained your sanity!
