Today is about David’s first ever basketball game. I had to blur the other boys’ faces just to be sure. I also have a little photo of Nathaniel with all the other siblings.
some days are simple.
there we go. That’s day ten. See you tomorrow.

Today is about another yearly tradition: Breakfast with Santa.
I love the gold on this page.
photo with the giant chipmunk:
and more shimmering:
and then some photos of eating pancakes and making crafts:
there we go. That’s day nine. See you tomorrow. Today is a page with Nathaniel writing the letters of the alphabet. I had one of these last year, too. I love seeing how different they are each year.
The next page is about my ring. This year’s ring says: kind • present • listen
there we go. That’s day seven. Today is all about Vasona Park. This is a yearly tradition for us. And My favorite light is this peace one.
They hand out 3-d glasses each year and this year’s were candy cane and stars. I love keeping these, too.
there we go. That’s day six. Today is about Hannukah. While we’re not huge observers, I still like to make sure there’s at least one page to remember it.
I love seeing this in my journal. there we go. That’s day five. See you tomorrow. For day four, I wanted to capture the Advent calendars. I like the idea of having something small to look forward to each day in December. This is how I feel about my December Daily so I like capturing the boys’ calendars and little lego adventures.
David decided to do some sketching in the morning, too so I asked him if I could have his paper when he’s done.
and I made sure he signed and dated it.
I love having these pieces of their life right now in my book year after year. there we go. That’s day four. See you tomorrow. For day three, we’re all about media. Since December started right after Thanksgiving break this year, we had a bunch of downtime right away. We spent that time watching movies and reading (and other activities too but I wanted to make sure to note them as this is one of the things I like looking back on, over the years.) We started our weekend by seeing Frozen.
we then took photos at the booth nearby and I added that:
on the back, I added photos for some of the books I’ve been reading:
and this is the actual page I’d done before. I added the posters for 3 other movies we saw (some was just Jake and me) and did a bit of journaling.
there we go. That’s day three. See you tomorrow. For day two, I decided to journal about putting up our Christmas Tree.
No matter how I tried, the photo didn’t come out nice so there we go. I liked journaling right on the page and not overthinking it. I then added a little photo of the butterfly ornaments I bought this year that I love. (And you can see a sneak of the next page which I already started.)
there we go. That’s day two. See you tomorrow. This is my seventh year doing a December Daily album. Over that time, I’ve developed some traditions for the album. For example, I finish each year with my OLW for the next year and I often put a photo of tulips on my last page. Another tradition I have is for the first page. A few years ago, I begun my album with “and so it begins” and I decided that I liked it so much that it would be how I start each year. Some years I also add photos of us and some years I don’t. This year, I did not.
I’ve been a huge fan of gold lately and I am happy to see that it’s popular, though it doesn’t photograph so well. This page has the beautiful gold deer:
and here’s one more look so you can see the dimensional wood, too.
there we go. That’s day one. See you tomorrow. I know I am a bit late with this but I actually prepared my December Daily pre-pages months ago as they were a part of the Gossamer Blue December Memories class. I was lucky enough to receive the stunning kit and put my little book together like this:
And there we go. Tomorrow I’ll post the first page. |
