Meet My New Car

2010 Toyota Corolla Sport, black with black interior. It was worth the wait. I want to thank Matthew, Chris and Danny for putting up with me all these months taking me to work and picking me up and Fernando for all the hours spent in the car dealership making the deal.

Christmas Just Gets Better and Better

We started a tradition of reading the first Christmas before opening gifts.

Matthew got Dominick to crack up

Family picture. Maybe next year we can have Shauna in the picture. We miss you.

My daughter surprised me with this awesome scrapbook. Words cannot describe what I felt as I flipped through my very own scrapbook. It is loaded with PRECIOUS scrap pages from my husband, children, son-in-law, sisters, nieces, nephews, work sisters, and my 3 scrap friends Damaris, Ady and Vanessa. Thank you all for making me cry on Christmas day.

I will share all of the pages later for now Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

So the plan was to blog daily and then transfer to my book later like I did last year; that didn't work out for me. Life happens and time flies before you know it there are 5 days left for Christmas shopping and you have nothing under the tree. It will all work out, it always does. Anyway who cares, I got this guy.

Last year I bought a bunch of Christmas books with Kayla in mind. Who knew that I would be reading them to my grandson.

The Story of Christmas by Patricia A. Pingry

December Daily 2009: Day 1

This is my 2nd December Daily album influenced by Ali Edwards. I had so much fun last year documenting and capturing our daily lives leading up to Christmas. I knew that this year would be extra special. I am really looking forward to documenting every day of December with Dominick in our lives and for one day Dominick holding the book in his little hands asking me to read him the story of Dominick's First Christmas.
