Day 11 is about work David and I are doing together. We are on week 8 of a Calculus class, both of us learning together. The last time I did Calculus was in high school so it’s been a while. The teacher is pretty awesome and funny so we’re enjoying it.

On the right side, I put a piece of paper where we’re solving a problem or two. [Using the chain rule!]

Love these stars. 

Day 9 is about Nathaniel and I doing some coding and math together. I took a screenshot of the Python class we’ve been taking, and added some journaling to it.  

On the right side, I put a piece of paper where Nathaniel solved a math puzzle that his grandfather gave him. 

Here he is, solving it. 

I accidentally ripped some of the photo which is why I added a slew of stickers here.

I am sorry for the terrible lighting in the photos. If I can do it again, I will. Love love love this project.

Hello!! I know I am really behind in my posting of my December Daily. I’ve actually been working on it daily but not able to post because by the time I do it, it’s dark and I can’t take photos, and then I leave for work early in the morning in the dark. Today I finally got some, but they are still pretty low quality because it was almost dark. They will have to do for now.

Day 3 is about David going climbing. He’s been climbing like a fiend lately and I love love love it and it’s something I wanted to make sure to capture.

Day 4 follows on the sports theme and has both of the kids at the batting cages. Another story i love love love.

The next page is a tag I downloaded from Ali, it has Jake. I have 4 of these in the album, one for each of us. 

The back has the answers to the questions Ali has on her cards. 

Day 5 is the tag above and the back has a story about the Friday letters Nathaniel brings home. I wrote about these a few weeks ago. I love them so. I am grateful to get to have one in the December Daily!

Day 6’s story is about the Lit Club I teach at the kids’ school. The top card opens up.

Inside is a long photo which is stitched together with photos I took during lit club. We’re reading Inherit the Wind at the moment.

I love it.

Day 7 has two stories: one is about my journaling at work and capturing my ordinary, crazy days at work right now. The second story is about my friend Leslie and I and how we’ve been meeting weekly for a few months now and how much it means to me.

And here we are. Mostly caught up. Day 8 tomorrow when I finish the journaling 🙂

And here we are. The most magical time of year. I got back from Sydney yesterday so my goal was to make sure I wouldn’t have any trouble jumpstarting my December Daily. This cover page below just showed up in the mail today so I haven’t added extra bits to it yet but I still love having it right there in the beginning. 

I also love starting with our family photo because it’s my favorite thing we do all year. “And so it begins” has been my starting phrase for years.

I really enjoyed writing my reason why this year. this is my favorite project all year and i love love love how much it helps me appreciate the holiday season.

The next page is a 4×6 photo I took in the Sydney office. 12/1 was my last day there so it says “bye Sydney.”

The back is a photo I took in the cafe and a tag from my awesome hotel.

Then is the real page that was in the album. I wrote some journaling about my trip and added four more of my favorite photos from there.

And that’s it for the beginning. Love love love December.
