It is snowing out today.  It makes it feel more Christmas-y.  I don’t know why…but it does. ;D

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…

First…how ’bout a sale announcement! Zig Zag Scrap is having a sale! ;D

Now for my new products…

Happy Friday!

I have a funny story about Laney and Christmas presents.

It requires a little back info.

She is getting a Tablet for Christmas.  She’s been wanting one for awhile now.  Everytime we go into any store that has an electronic section she HAS to play with the various iPad products.

The other thing you need to know is I have a smart phone.  It looks pretty much like a small tablet.  I found a really good pic online to compare.  Of course I would have taken one myself but I went looking for the tablet just now and Corey has “hidden” it…and you will see why as you read further.  Pic found courtesy of this site.

I’m a VISUAL person…so just visualize these two things…my phone and the “future” tablet that Laney may-or-may-not-be-getting-for-Christmas as we say around here.  Corey…please don’t send links to the actual products.  That’s not the point of the story.  Because no, I don’t have a Samsung phone, and I don’t know what the brand of tablet Corey got.  Just picture the photo above.  ;D

The other day I “lost” my phone.  This is the time when I probably should have installed this app.  But alas I haven’t so Laney and I are searching all over the house for it.  Corey was not around to call it so I could find it…and it was on vibrate anyway.  It frequently is.

So Laney is searching all over the house…in the usual places I leave it.  She was being a good helper for her mamma.  I wasn’t thinking anything of it and she was looking around in our bedroom.  She opened Corey’s bedside table and then I heard this voice from the bedroom say, “Well…I found a BIG phone!”

I told her to close that right away and come here!  She sat there looking at me with this “deer in the headlights” look.

“Laney.  What did you see in there?”

“It wasn’t a big phone was it.”

“No.  I’m so sorry, Laney. You weren’t supposed to see that.”

Silence.

“Is Christmas ruined for you?”

A very long pause…

“No.”  she said.  “At least I know I’m getting an “iPad” for Christmas!  DON’T tell Dad I saw it.  He’ll be really mad!”

I told her she had to not say anything about it and act surprised on Christmas.

She hasn’t breathed a word since. ;D

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!
