If you’re here for the Scrapbook Challenges Blog Hop, scroll down one post! I just figured it was about time to actually make a post about our Christmas.
Leading up to Christmas we had a lot of fun events… tree farm trip, a new tree (not from the tree farm! haha) and the Raytheon festival. Here’s the LO I made using sketch 233 from Scrapbook Challenges and pieces from several kits at Raspberry Road Designs.
We had our first Christmas at home this year. I guess there comes a time when you want to celebrate Christmas with your own little family, and for us, that was this year. We spent the whole day hanging around the house after we opened gifts until later that night when we went and looked at the lights in Deerfield. The page I made for the blog hop below has the pictures from all of that!
After a nice Christmas at home, we hit the road and had a fun time visiting family. We went to the farm to visit my mom’s folks, then to Tyler to see the rest of the family. It was kinda weird not having a full-on Christmas get together with Paces, but it WAS nice that my dad’s side of the family has decided to start doing presents again, after several years of skipping it. I like getting everyone something, but we weren’t supposed to and then my grandmother always ended up giving everyone an envelope of money anyway, making us all feel bad. So I think that, and the age of our kids now, is probably what spurred everyone to start doing gifts again… or at least doing a name drawing next year. At any rate, I think this was one of the best Christmas seasons to date. I just finished scrapping it with the newest sketch, 236, from Scrapbook Challenges and the Christmas Thyme kit from Raspberry Road Designs. I am also offering a QP version for free! Enjoy! I’d love to see what you do with the sketch too, so make sure you drop by SC and post it!
