Christmas stuff

My girlfriend shared this idea with me several years ago, and I have been keeping it up ever since. I bought a fun red photo album, put one of my favorite Christmas cards in the front, and I fill it with all the pictures I get from my friends and family around this time of year. I also add wedding announcement photos and place the newsletters that come with the Christmas photos right behind them in the book. I keep the book with my Christmas decorations and pull it out when I decorate. It is SO fun to look back at all the pictures, remembering times spent with dear friends, and see the changes families have made through the years. My friend Jamie is brilliant, I thought I would share her idea. :)

The kids had a cute Christmas musical presentation at school last week. Josh was SO excited to sing "I'm gettin' nuthin' for Christmas"
Jade's grade sang "We're goin' for a sleigh ride". I have to say, I love her style too. :)


Here are more bookmarks from orders I have taken. Thank goodness for "word of mouth". It has kept me busy, but the extra green stuff is nice to have this time of year. :)

i like the red book idea! and i also like ur maternity clothes idea. i had pretty much decided that was what i was going to have to do and you just confirmed it for me. I HATE those big shirts that make you look even BIGGER. I've always been a fan of the tight fitting show ur belly clothing. thanks for the ideas!!
