December Daily: Days 1-4

I love this project and really glad that I'm doing it this year.  However I wish my album was a little larger - it measures 4.25 x 5 inches.  Something I will have to look at next year.

Day 1:

The first page is a bokeh picture of our Christmas tree I got a week ago when our Christmas tree went up on the 28th.  Around the edges I put some small MM phrase stickers and rubon.  The next page includes screen shots I took on the computer of our local weather report on the first.  We had crazy winds that did a lot of damage and were what everyone was talking about all day.   

Day 2:

A quick photo of my boys that morning.  I included our typical morning things under the photo.  Second photo is a baseball card holder with doiley rubons and a label sticker.  In the pocket I placed a Jenni Bowlin December bingo card. 

On the second there were still a lot of people in our area without power.  We had a party planned with friends of our, but their power was still out.  We got together anyway and the result was better than we could have hoped for.  Pictures from the event didn't turn out great, but the memories will last a lifetime.  Top picture is a blurry Wesley doing charades by flashlight.  Bottom is our dinner of grilled pizza. 

This album is perfect for the little odds and ends of stickers I've had in my stash forever.  I used really old 7gypsies stickers between the two pictures. 

I handwrote the journaling about our night on the back.

Day 3:

The morning of the third we had a Christmas Breakfast with my dad and his wife.

I didn't plan to include all the pictures from that morning, but after going through them I couldn't leave any of them out and ended up printing 2 4x6 pictures trimming them and gluing them back to back to a piece of chipboard.  After punching holes it became my extra page.

Day 4:

Brandon, Thomas, and I were asked to stand in Relief Society as Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus.  It ended up being so special and Thomas slept through the whole lesson.  It was a special reminder of what this season really means.  I found this picture pinned on Pinterest and decided to print it off and use it for yesterdays entry.
