December Daily

Every year I try to participate in Ali Edwards December Daily Christmas project (www.aliedwards.com). The premise is to make a scrapbook that you can add photos and journaling to and having a document of your holiday season. I have tried to do this for a few Christmases, but this album was actually started last year, but with Harrison having just been born, I never got around to doing anything with it. This year I am ready to go and I am very pleased with the "shell" of my scrapbook.

So starting tomorrow, I will be documenting our month of December through little stories and photos in the hopes that in years to come we can look back on this holiday season with fond memories. I am super excited and ready to start. I will try to post every couple of days (but let's be honest, you know how I am! :)). I am hoping for a fantastic holiday season!

(You can find previous posts about this topic on the side under 25 Days of Christmas.)

A 1 Year Old Boy

It's hard to believe that this little guy is now a little over a year old! How time has flown by. Last week was super busy with Thanksgiving and Harrison's birthday, but we had a fantastic week. Harrison's birthday party on Saturday was great and Harrison really loved his cake (like I knew he would!)

Happy Birthday to my sweet little man!

Gorgeous cake made again by Stacy!

When making the slideshow I realized that I didn't have any pictures of just Bo and Harrison. So here's the first! :)

Yeah, he had a tummy ache that night!

10 on Tuesday

1. This week is going to be insanely crazy here at the Rogers' house. We started with cheerleading practice after school today. Tomorrow we have ballet after school then Ava cheers at her first game. Wednesday is Harrison's 1st birthday and the kids start off their day at the doctor for a recheck. Thursday is Thanksgiving and then this weekend is Harrison's birthday party! It is going to be nonstop!
   
   
2. A couple of weeks ago Ava's group at church performed for Youth Sunday. They had been practicing for months. Ava was sick with strep, but she had been on antibiotics (or anti-bot-ics as she says) and wanted to go. She did great at the hand bells, but covered her mouth through most of the sing and even flashed her underwear at the congregation. Embarrassing!

3. We have been putting up our tree slowly over the last 2 weeks. We got it up the second weekend of November, but are just getting around to decorating it.

4. Ava told Bradley that after we put up the tree, we were going to rock around it! Love her!

5. Our house elf, Englebert, is back for the holiday season. Ava is super into it this year and is so excited to hunt him down each day.

6. Ava's first ornament of the year was Princess Tiana. Harrison's was Jiminy Cricket.

7. Last year we finally got a tree topper. Mickey and Minnie!

8. Harrison has been super tired at night lately and a couple of times he has fallen asleep at the dinner table.

9. We are close to being done with Christmas shopping! YAY!

10. We spent last weekend in Nashville at Uncle Timmy's house for Thanksgiving. It was delicious and we had a great time. I will post pics from that soon!
