We look forward to Prince William and Kate Middleton's Christmas card [1] every year, but it seemed that a holiday greeting from the royal family wasn't happening in 2016. On Thursday, however, a handful of Twitter users revealed they'd been the lucky recipients of a card from Will and Kate, which featured a cute photo from one of their outings in Canada [2] in September. The sweet snap, which shows both Prince George and Princess Charlotte looking awestruck [3] in their parents' arms while waiting for balloon animals, was taken at a children's party held at Government House in Victoria, British Columbia. Though the candid photo is from Getty photographer Chris Jackson rather than one of the official royal portraits the family has favored in the past [4], it's certainly just as adorable, don't you think?
