Kel it was really special and it does mean alot to me!
I mean as you said about the baby pressie, friends you might see all the time don't even think about stuff like that. We have got no cards or pressie's from any family or close friends we have here, but from my beautiful online friends. (Not that I "Expect" any from anyone - but YKWIM?)
And yes, your Christmas card was our first! Yay! I have it already opened & displayed. hehe.
