December Daily Twenty-Two through Twenty-Five

And here we are:

I didn’t want to overthink these pages so I cut my page of two 4x6s in half and put one of the boys playing chess.

and a movie on the back.

then a little card i got in the mail.

from big picture classes. so grateful for them.

then it’s christmas eve and the boys opening their one present. little rainbows for their room.

our family photo on christmas day.

love the shiny.

a card nathaniel made for us for Christmas. It’s a cheetah!

and a picture he drew on Christmas day, it’s hot lava and acid!

And our christmas breakfast table.

and finally tulips. I always end with tulips and my word for the next year.

and here we are. so grateful for this project.

December Daily 2013 – Day Twenty-One

Today is a bunch of events from the last day of school. David singing and also reading from his myth at school.

David’s friend surprised us with cookies on our door, so I added the note to our book, too:

and the program from David’s school.

and the inside.

there we go. See you tomorrow. Merry Christmas! 🙂

December Daily 2013 – Day Twenty

Today is really simple. I had these photos of the boys playing together that I just loved so much. I printed them and then added a bit of journaling and a strip of washi to the bottom of each.

there we go. See you tomorrow.

December Daily 2013 – Day Nineteen

A little behind with my book, just felt like doing other things instead. This day is about being in Nathaniel’s classroom and “cooking” together. We made English muffin faces.

And then a little card from Nathaniel’s big buddy at school.

and the inside.

there we go. See you tomorrow.

December Daily 2013 – Day Eighteen

Today is just about our weekly family photo and a few thoughts. Light wasn’t accommodating when i took these shots.

in the journaling pocket, I put a bunch of sequins just for fun. For now I put some tape on top but once I do the other side, I will stitch the top of this pocket.

there we go. See you tomorrow.

December Daily 2013 – Day Seventeen

Today is about the Google holiday party. A photo of us before we left.

some thoughts below and shimmery stuff:

to the right I added a little bag and taped our bands and a little leaf:

inside is the flip book we got at the event:

and the back:

there we go. See you tomorrow.

December Daily 2013 – Day Sixteen

Today is about our presents and how I am getting ready.

a little shimmer on this one, too.

there we go. See you tomorrow.

December Daily 2013 – Day Fifteen

Today is about Nathaniel’s schools Pajama Night. I started with the invitation.

here’s the inside:

i had to blur out the other kids’ photos. Nathaniel was so so happy and of course a bit silly:

more from the night.

shimmery.

hard to show all the subtle shimmeriness with the photos:

there we go. See you tomorrow.

December Daily 2013 – Day Fourteen

Today is about the Niles train we take every year!

photos never come out well in the dark, but i don’t care:

more shimmer:

there we go. See you tomorrow.

December Daily 2013 – Day Thirteen

Today is about visiting Nathaniel’s classroom. Some pieces he made and some of playing with Daddy. To the right I added a photo of him signing his name, too.

it’s shimmery.

and the back is the one photo I loved so much. I cut it apart and put it in there as if it were one page:

there we go.

December Daily 2013 – Day Twelve

Today I wrote a little about how I am feeling this holiday season and how despite being low, I love the lights and decorations so much.

then I included the kids’ letters to Santa. Here’s Nathaniel:

and David:

there we go. That’s day twelve. See you tomorrow.

December Daily 2013 – Day Eleven

Today is about David’s swimming class. He passes a big milestone and got his backstroke ribbon. It never ceases to amaze me how many milestones happen during December. Then I think, there are milestones each month, we just don’t pay as close attention. Which, of course, made me think that I certainly should pay much closer attention from now on.

more shimmering.

there we go. That’s day eleven. See you tomorrow.
