Children's Christmas Play

It took me awhile to get my inspiration, but I finally managed to get the pictures of the children's Christmas play scrapped. It was a really neat play-the kids portrayed characters of the bible leading up to the birth of Jesus. It was hard to come up with different ideas for each page, but I managed to get a little variety. The kids all played their parts really well and the little ones were especially cute. Enjoy!

Haley's Birthday

Little Miss Haley is one year old today!1 It's so hard to believe she has hit this milestone already. It seems like just yesterday that Alyssa and Seth were telling me they were pregnant! They had a lovely party for her on Saturday with a Strawberry Shortcake theme and, of course, I took loads of pictures. Now I need to find the time to scrapbook them. I'm trying to limit the number of pics I get printed, but it is so hard. It seems like there is never a bad picture-all of them are adorable :) !. I'll try to resist printing them all. Instead I will have them all put on a DVD that I can watch over and over.....hehe.

It was so much fun watching her try to figure out what to do with the cake........she finally stuck her fingers in the icing, but hesitated putting it in her mouth. She really doesn't have a lot of interest in eating. She did get a couple of bites of cake and a little ice cream, but never really got into it. She liked the presents-at least playing with the paper. She got lots of neat gifts.

I can't wait until she is old enough to spend the night with me and we can do all the grandmother/granddaughter stuff like going shopping, making cookies, sewing, etc. I am really looking forward to those days, but then I'm not in any hurry for her to get older. She is precious just as she is and I just enjoy the time I have with her now.

Proverbs 17:6 Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.

More LOs

Here are the other pages I finished today. These are the pages I did about the girls putting together the Christmas tree and me putting on the ornaments. Kristy helped me with some of the ideas so I have to give her some credit for how they turned out..............Thanks Kristy!

My first "crop"!

I had my first crop with someone else today! Kristy, a new friend I met from cricutlovers and on facebook came over this morning and we spent all day scrapping together. I had so much fun! i will definitely have to do this again. She gave me so many great ideas and shared a lot of tips with me. I also got to look at, and drool over, some of the neat supplies she has. We spent time scrapping and looking at each others finished pages. She has some really cool LOs!! I was able to finish 6 pages today. Pretty awesome considering that yesterday I had no clue what I was going to do with these pictures.

Chayce is back at AIT

We had a great time with Chayce home over the holidays, but we knew we would have to take him back to school when it was over. Nicole and I took him back on the 2nd of January. The drive was nice although it rained on us most of the way. Chayce prolonged going to the base as long as he could and finally went at the last possible minute. Nicole and I spent the night in Huntsville and drove home the next day. Other than nearly getting totalled in Alabama when a lady pulled out in front of us the trip was relatively uneventful. Leaving Chayce was harder this time than when we left him in Missouri. I guess it was he had been home for awhile. He's got 4 more weeks then he will be home for good! It will be his birthday then, the 20th, and we're gonna plan a real celebraion for him.

for visiting!
