December Daily : Day Seven
Tags:
And a couple notes:
1. There were a few questions the other day about whether I liked working in this format/using this process. I put the "bones" of this album together months ago and am now simply filling it in with our daily stories and adventures. I have to say that I am really liking this. It is not complicated. It takes so much less time each day than if I was putting each page together each day. I love having the basic foundation already set-up. Highly recommend trying this sometime (could still do the 12-days of Christmas).
2. The dipped pretzels in the photo from yesterday were sent to us from our friend Tim. You could ask him about them here. Beware: they are really, really good. Sweet + salty is amazing.
3. Loved the movie we saw last night. Nice feel-good family movie. One of my favorite scenes was the "conversation" between Eric (the main boy) and Jason Bateman's character. To create a page for my Daily album I went to the website, downloaded one of the screensavers, resized it in Photoshop and printed.
4. When the movie was over it was the perfect opportunity to go see Santa (we were already at the mall). No line (about 6:30pm on Friday night). Happy Santa. Happy Simon. He was super excited, we got all choked up...and so it goes. Such a nice night for the Edwards'.

Ali, you know what struck me most, is how much Simon looks like a young Chris in that photo - it really jumped out at me. I love this album. xo

Ali,
I love to hear what a great night you had. Josh and I will go see that movie soon.
We also had one of those wonderful family nights last night...I blogged about it and I still smile just thinking back to it.
Putting a little something in the mail for you tomorrow.

I have a huge favor to an owner of a D-reeves 8x8 acrylic album.I am ordering the album but until it gets here, is there anyone who has it and can scan it so I see where the holes go and can start cutting my pictures and making the album.
Thank you.

Such a cute picture of Simon and Santa. This was our first year too that my son Vince (7 years old with autism) was able to go to Santa! No line for us on a Sat. night - I'm sure that helped. Vince even told Santa what he wanted (and Santa even understood him!). Such a milestone. Congrats to you, Chris and Simon!
