My last post, all about day 7, was actually day 8. So…I have a huge post today with the real day 7…all the way to day 10. I have three more to do to get completely caught up–thank goodness the weekend is upon us! Here is a look at the “real” day 7. To keep my pages right in my photobook I had to go with a two page spread. This is all about our new Christmas Book tradition.

Days 8 and 9 are dedicated to the Vegas trip. All photos were done with my iphone and instagram. LOVE!

Day 10 shows you what we came back to–13.5 inches of snow!

Now off to work on Project Life once the kids nap. I haven’t even started week 50 yet! December…you are a whirlwind.

Playing a bit of catch-up from the weekend; That is what I trip to Vegas will get you! This tends to happen at this time every December since it’s my husband’s birthday on the 9th.

I decided to only bring my iphone to Vegas with us because 1) I am addicted to Instagram and 2) I knew they would be easy and fun to scrap because I have awesome templates from Nettio Designs. I was right! This took all of about 15 minutes to complete!

Hope to have two more days posted later today. Linking up at Ali’s blog–go check out all of the inspiration!

This is a bit late, but I have a good excuse! This weekend is my husband’s 40th birthday and we are off to Vegas in about an hour. (Sure would have been nice NOT to have insomnia tonight huh?) But that’s a whole other topic for another day. I just know today will be rough–not only do we have a time change ahead of us, but I am not the best flyer so I take a sedative. NICE. On about two hours sleep they are probably going to have to carry me off of the plane!

Anyhow, onto day six!

I like to have a page about Holly in my December Daily book that reflects who she is right now, so this week we went outside for a photoshoot. I wanted to capture her cute braids, so “Ingalls” aren’t they? This layout also features the silhouette I completed of her for our tree ornaments this year. (If you missed the post earlier this year about how I do that, click here.)

This is all I can manage this AM, I am going to try to sleep for 20 minutes or so before I have to get up and get ready to go. No blogging this weekend, we are not even taking our computers. (For those that know me, this is NOT how I roll!) I will have an iphone and my ipad though…I mean there’s no sense living completely like an animal is there!?

Have a great weekend. I will be back on Monday afternoon with Days 7 and 8!

Today’s layout is all about Gracie, our elf on a shelf. She never actually sits on a shelf, no she’s a busy girl who prefers to bring us baked goods or perform magic. That’s my kind of elf.

I am having a lot of fun with this new tradition. It’s so cute to see how excited Holly is each morning and it’s just amazing to witness the PURE WONDER in her eyes. She still believes, and I know there are not too many years of that left. The first day she came she whipped us up a North Pole Breakfast…I wonder if I can get Gracie to do that all year long? Mornings would go so much easier for this mom if breakfast was already done by the time I woke up!

See you on Day 6, and thanks for stopping by!
