We managed to keep one thing a surprise for Christmas for the kids.  It was the xbox 360 kinect. ;D  Somehow they knew about pretty much every other gift.  Next year we need to do a better job of hiding.

I am stopping my December Daily at the 25th.  I made it.  Not going to push thru the rest of the month.  That would be just asking for failure. ;D

I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas!

The girls are on their winter break.  I’m happy to have them home with me all day.  Ask me that again in two weeks. ;D

Here’s my December Daily days 14-16…

I’m here to post several December Daily pages.  Again…I can’t tell you how much I love the format this year.  It is very stress free! ;D  Plus kinda beautiful if I do say so myself.

I really like just picking one photo from the day and having that be the photo I go with for my daily pic.  Like last night was Laney’s open house at dance class but I could only pick one photo (if I’m going to continue with this year’s DD theme).  It was fun picking one that represented the whole evening, in my opinion. ;D

So.  I lost my wallet last weekend.  And I didn’t want to say…because I felt stupid.  And it fell on the heels of losing my license a few months ago at Sea World.  My family made sure I remembered THAT.  Me.  Who never does this sort of thing.

So I get a call this morning.  A woman had found my wallet and was calling so we could meet and she can give it to me.  I was shocked…in this day and age.  Wow.

I’m behind on posting my December Daily pages.  It is not for a lack of photos.  Just been feeling a little under the weather.  Here is day 6.  Love my dogger wogger! ;D

I am loving how this Dec Daily developed this year.  Here’s a photo of some of my favorite Christmas decorations.  Big surprise…they are trees. ;D

Love that we celebrate birthdays for several days around here. ;D

Laney got a set of drums for her birthday.  You can see the joy on her face. ;D  Happy Birthday Laney!

Today I baked a cake for Laney’s birthday.  The picture I chose for my December Daily was of the cake just after I took it out of the bundt pan.  I guess I liked it so much because usually my cakes fall apart at least somewhere.  This one came out in one perfect form!  I love that Laney’s birthday is in December.  It is such a magical time of year.
