December Daily, Days 23-25

And here are my final pages from my Dec Daily album...

Day 23

We decided on Friday that we weren't going to pull everything out of the attic, so instead set up this adorable tree. I got it at the Navy Exchange and plan to get more.  :) Setting it up on a table with gifts on and under the table kept a little boy OUT of trouble!  ;)

Dec 24

After last year's debacle with getting a picture of the 3 of us, I was NOT leaving church on Christmas Eve without a decent shot. A VERY nice woman at our church took multiple shots of us to make sure I got something I was happy with. And I am.  :)

Packaging from some cupcakes I made

(P.S. Homemade is better!)

I sort of like this paper, but wanted to use it up to get rid of it. Mission: accomplished! I included it, also, because of the hot chocolate on some of the dots. I felt it went with the picture on the front.

Dec 25

Last year, this little boy was 2 weeks old. This year he was able to play with and enjoy his gifts. I LOVE these pictures!! The top photo shows how small he is compared to the tree. It will be fun to see him again with this tree each year. The bottom left is the first picture I took on Christmas morning. I love how he's squatted down looking at the car toy. The one on the right, with a nappy peeking out of his pants- precious! He's so focused and serious, checking out the new toy.

Pictures glued down, then assorted washi tape added for embellishment.

Envelope with a note I wrote to Samuel-

I plan to do this every year in Dec Daily

All done!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by each day to look at my album. If I was able to give you just ONE new idea, then I accomplished my goal. Feel free to stop back by anytime to see my latest scrappy projects, updates on us, and pictures of our little Samuel!  :)
