December Daily Week One.

 Here is the first week of my December Daily.  I always start with Thanksgiving then jump to December 1st.  I love documenting Thanksgiving and that is the night our little Elf comes to visit.

First pages.

page one has all these tags with pictures of the family.  There are pictures and journaling on the back of these tags also.

Page 2 is the morning after Thanksgiving and Snowflake appearing for the first time this year.

You flip that page and here is a picture of my kids and myself.  

I did a lot of journaling on the actual picture.

Day 1  

We did more this Saturday than what I can put into this little book.

We woke up early that morning, Natalie and Dad took a ride to Denny's while Monica and I followed in the car.  Natalie loves ridding that bike, I have no doubt one day she will be a biker chick.

 

 We also picked the tree that day, but not before Natalie and Dad rode to the farm stand to buy some tomatoes, eggplants and onions. Monica and I drove to the dollar store to see what we could find.

 These two are always clowing around.

Day 2 and 3

Natalie was sick today, but I had to send her to school.  She did call me a few hours later because she did not feel well and wanted my sister or myself to pick her up.  We did.

 Mr. Snowflake, up to his old tricks.  This year I'm scrapping him a little more since I don't know how many more times he will be coming to visit.  

Day 4  

 My anual Crema de Vie (Egg Nog), this is the bomb!!!

I'm actually making my second batch tonight.

 Finally the tree got the lights on.  But it took another two days before I started decorating it.

 Day 5

 Piano practice

 Natalie and I laying on the couch watching The Sound of Music Life.

I don't know if I loved it as much as I love the movie, but I enjoyed it.

Day 6

(I just realized my days are not right will fix it in my book)

 Natalie had her Christmas Day at school, Santa came to visit and they were taking pictures with him.

Stan and I had a Fundraiser at Night. 

We met our friend Shirly, Mike, Richard and Mel.  It was wonderful, there were lots of sports personalities and football players that I knew from when I was a young girl.

 This is one Tag that I placed a photo on both sides, need to do the journaling still.

You remember Dunk from the Harlem Globetrotters.

 Day 7

 In the morning Monica volunteered at the Hope Equestrian center, this was her first day and she really loves it.  
 Stan played golf for the Larry Little foundation, the person with him is Mercury Morris from the best Miami Dolphin team ever 1972.... 

Later that evening the girls came over and the adults enjoyed some fine wine and dinner and the
little kids ran around the house.  I love a full house.

 Day 8

 GATOR BOYS time....

Jimmy was at the Toy Run.

Natalie took her longest bike ride, she rode for a little over 50 miles at 6:00am. Monica, Anabel and I followed them, I was petrified of her riding for so long, she loved it. Don't scream she had a helmet on for that ride, she took it or for the 15 mph an hour ride into the park ( I wish she would of left it on). 

 Handling a gator, can you tell how excited she is.

 This one is fearless.

 Just playing around in the park, the veterans had this big flag and for a $1 donation we could take pictures in front of it.  

 Natalie and Jimmy.  Paul is her favorite and the only one she has not met.

Maybe next time.
 I you ever get the chance to visit Holiday Park on US 27 in Broward check them out it's pretty cool.  And the Airboat tour is great also.

This ends my first week, I have redone this book at least 3 times, I'm still not 100% crazy in love with it, but this year it will stay like this, I'm just happy I have been able to stay in track with it.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Finally the day has come, our first challenge is up. at Off the Rail Scrapbooking.  We had to use  Acetate on our project.  These are some old photos of Natalie she spend hours playing catching those waves.  I found the perfect acetate in my stash.

It's been a long time since I have made a double page, I wanted to get all these photos scrapped this worked perfect.

Hope you can play along.

Halloween!!

 This is what my little cemetery looked like.

Like that hat!!!

 
 

                                                                                                           Stan the Man created him!!

And what would a night be without the "Golden Girls." While I was walking Natalie they were giving out candies.  To be fair my sister had already walked Natalie, but she wanted to walk a little more so it was my turn.  JOY!!!

 Thank you for stopping by.

Pre-Halloween 2013

We went for a short trip to Orlando to Halloween Horror Nights and to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween.  It was a big group.  

These are the kids.

From Left to Right:

Natalie, Mitchell, Tito, Grabriela, Karina, Monica, Isabela, Umber and Daniel (Javy is Missing).

Here they are again, Javy disturbing Daniel's space. (they all love to bother Daniel)

My Claudette, she was not a happy camper with this wig, can't you tell?  

She hated it and thought it looked horrible, I think it looked adorable, but I'm the mom. 

          

She smiled, a fake one but I was able to get a smile out of her.

 With mom, now she gave me a genuine smile, now she is ready for Mickey.  

Daniel and Monica  heading to Horror Nights. No thank you I love my Not So Scary Halloween.

BOO Scary Train Station

 The Not So Scary Group.  The young one and "THE GOLDEN GIRLS"! Left to right, Barbara, Daniel, Me and Mima (mom).  If you all go out with us you would know we really are like the Golden Girls. 

LOOK MOM!!!! NO WIG!!!!

Can't you tell how happy she is now.

 With Princess Tiana and the Prince (don't know his name, you know the one who use to be a frog).

They were singing bluegrass acapella, they were great and their make up was probably the scariest thing that night. Pretty cool.

Part of the Parade, it was one of the nicest

parades I have seen in Disney.

 Look at the Castle, and all it's monsters.  The show was ok, did not like all the villains and it was very short.  but the lighting of the Castle was amazing.

If you have never gone to The Not So Scary Halloween, GO! the lines are only 5 to 10 minutes long, and all the rides are open, they give both kids and adults tons of candy, the fireworks are AMAZING!!! Nothing I have ever experience before and I have seen some pretty amazing fireworks but these are right there, they are coming at you from 3 different directions and what an ending WOW!!! Oh and did I tell you it was 62 degrees. Just PERFECT!

Now you asked about those teen and not so teen that went to Horror Nights over at Universal! Well, they stood in lines for hours just to walk through hunted houses to be scared.  Walked and walked for hours until 1:00am to be precise.  Then when they were tired of walking through the park, they had to walk to the parking lot and wait for my sister to pick them up, they were sooooooooooo tired they just wanted their mommys...LOL!!! Grown boys were crying of how tired they were.
