Looks like I made it! Thru the year of Project 365

2009 12 24 Ryan on Christmas Eve in his Christmas Pajamas.

2009 12 25 Well, they are not hung by the fire- does the thermostat count? Shane's, Peyton's, Chance's, and Ryan's stockings.

2009 12 26 Chance is 'reading' a wrestling magazine.

2009 12 27 Piles of kids in Aunt Kristi's living room, opening presents. Not really a great picture but I like the sense of movement.  Especially because this group seldom stays still. On the floor- Heather, Shane, Joshua, Caitlin, Peyton, Gracii and Courtney in the chair.

2009 12 28  Rajah heading out in the snow.

2009 12 29 Donegal lake after the snowfall.

Christmas Eve pictures

I went to Shaun and Kier's house for Christmas eve.  Here's a few pictures:

Shane and Chance with their Grandma Sue

We had ham, buffalo chicken dip, hot popper dip, shrimp, cookies, candy, chips, pop, and potato salad. Chance ate two large helpings of the potato salad that his pappy made.

Catching up! (Yet again, I'm way behind)

2009 12 14 Bumblebee ornament from the new Transformer movie. He is Peyton and Chance's favorite.
2009 12 13 The owl and nest has to be on the tree. Last year Peyton was afraid of it. Every tree that I can remember had a bird and nest on it. We used to cut down our own fresh trees and we would try to find one with a nest in it.

2009 12 15 My Christmas Tree. I just can't get a picture I really like of it.

2009 12 16 The cakes for our annual Christmas party for the consumers at work.

2009 12 17 All the ingredients for making candy- chocolates, chocolate covered pretzels, hard tack, peanut brittle and reindeer cookie chow.

2009 12 18 Lights on the bushes in the McDonald's drive thru.

2009 12 19 Santa visits at the American Legion. This is Ryan's first Santa photo.

December - photos

2009 12 06  Tim Tam's reportedly Australia's favorite cookie- now one of my favorite's!

2009 12 07 More Bokeh- wish I could figure out how I got this shape instead of circles this time.

2009 12 08 My memolio came today- isn't it cute! I won't order any more- it ended up being 23$ American for 1 (I ordered two because I had a freebie that I won!)(See post November 29, 2009! about winning the drawing at Shutter Sisters http://shuttersisters.com/!)

2009 12 09 Another view of my Memolio!

2009 12 10 I received this in 1981 from an old boyfriend, Carl. It's still one of the decorations I put out every year.

2009 12 11 Santa stands guard outside Idlewild park every Christmas.  He's a big Santa!

2009 12 12 I worked today and thought I'd show off my office! (Should have cleaned up a little!)

21, 22, 23-365 photos

This was saved in my drafts so I hit publish- don't want it to be lost!

This is my layout with the 'misc' photos that didn't really fit anywhere else this month!

Sweet Baby Girl

I can't remember if I posted this or not so here it is! - a layout I did with Doxie Design's kit, Parisian Rose. I love the color combination along with the vintage look so I had fun with this. The baby is my sister Kristi and I believe it was taken on her first day home from the hospital! Parisian Rose can be found here:
