Tis the Season kit

 

We stretched our Christmas celebrations out for more than a week this year. We began the weekend before Christmas, visiting my family and my hometown. The girls enjoyed seeing their grandparents, and we were able to visit my grandma, who is in assisted living now. It has become a tradition to take a family photo every year, both with my family and Adam's family. This year, our photo shrunk because my brother was away working and my sister was in California. We still had a lot of fun trying to get everyone to look at the camera at the same time! Lauren really got into being the photographer and kept taking photos of all of us. Madeline, in her usual fashion, kept trying to escape (as evidenced by the bottom photo!). In the end, we have a lot of funny photos and memories, and I have a timeline of our Christmases through the years. This layout is a kit for the January kit club. The papers are from Echo Park, courtesy of MemoryWorks. If you've been watching my blog in the last week, you'll notice this continuing trend of red, blue and black. I added a little more green to this layout with the addition of the trees. I'll have another Christmas layout to share later this week!
