It is so nice to be able to put things in order here and get my thoughts down in a clean concise format. I tend to get so sidetracked when I try to journal and scrapbook and hunt for things... etc. etc. etc.
I hope you all don't mind seeing the memories I am going to record in my December Daily.
Any way, here is installment 2 in this series. Days 6-10
December 6
This is the first day I can start taking things up to my new apartment. It goes much faster than I thought it would. In the time I thought I could take 3 loads up, I take 6 or 7. I feel like I am making a HUGE amount of progress. I have SO MUCH SCRAPBOOKING STUFF!! Where did I keep it all?
December 7
My boys came and helped me move the rest of my stuff up to the new apartment. I am so grateful. We got it almost all moved by noon, I fed the boys, and Tori had to go home. Thankfully James stayed and helped me get it all finished. I don't know how I could have done it without James, Tori, my mother, and her housekeeper Linda. But It is done now, and I slept in my new apartment for the first time tonight... among the boxes!!
December 8
I have been looking forward to this day since Marcia showed me the picture of Santa. This year ... I am taking the babies to see Santa. I felt like I didn't get to participate in that tradition at all last year as it was done at Harley. And that's fine, but this year is mine, and I am very selfishly owning that!!
My wonderful Rowan was not impressed with Santa at all! He was not afraid, just did not want anything to do with him, and made that clear to anyone within seeing distance. Look at the scowl on that face. And my sweet Zoey ... she couldn't wait to tell Santa she wanted a 'Dream Barbie and a pony' I loved that we could take our own pictures (I wish I had known ahead of time, I would have brought my good camera) and we could take as many as we wanted.
I thought it was only fitting that I got a picture with Santa too! I told him I just wanted a happy healthy family!
My CTMH Christmas party was today! We had so much fun!
(insert photos here!!)
I don't have the pictures off my camera yet. but they will go in the album as I can fit them.
Zoey and Rowan spent the night at grandma's new house today too! It was a lesson in "No Rowan" all night long, but we survived. The kids loved the snow globes that my friend Roxie sent home for them.
December 9
Rowan is NOT a morning person. He makes grandma without coffee look like a saint!! we suffered about 45 minutes of temper tantrums and dirty looks before he decided to join the human race.
Once he was over the morning part of his day, he and Zoey enjoyed looking at the Mickey Mouse album I made for our Disney trip in 2008. This makes me so happy that I scrapbook. Someday they will be looking at memories of their lives.
December 10
Grannies dice at Tracey's house. This is one of my favorite traditions of the Holiday season. I love getting together with these fun girls and losing my butt!! (Isn't Diana's shirt cute?)
December 11
The saddest part of my Holiday season. My nephew Tyler is still in the hospital in Sioux Falls. We are not getting many updates. When we do, they are not very informative and there seems to be not much change. We are all praying hard for his recovery.
So, that is the current update on my December Daily. These are only the pictures from my phone and ones that I have heisted from the internet. I am sure that I will be adding more to the album when I download the photos from my phone. I love this project. I will update you one the next 5-10 days soon. And eventually you will get to see them in an album (when I can find it!! )
Have an amazing week!
See you soon
Connie
