Supplies: All Anna Aspnes except for the journal book which is Cottage Arts.

I managed to find photos to use, but have to say that that visiting Santa is not a strong tradition in our family, random at best. And, I'm sorry to say that taking the children to have professional photos done is also not a strong tradition, although I certainly wish it was. I probably would not have included the topic except that Heather sent us the photos that were taken at the kids school this year.

We are so excited that they will be home tomorrow. Their tree is up and lights are on the house thanks to Heather's parents. Frank has put up lights in the backyard that we share so they can see them. I've been doing some cooking for them so there will be a meal for them when they arrive tomorrow. Having the kids home for the holiday is such a joy.
