Day 17 and 18 were supposed to be filled with a birthday party for a little girl and decorating cookies.... instead I enjoyed the flu. So we're gonna skip over, day 17 & 18.
We got all dressed up and headed over to the Rexburg Tabernacle, which is a beautiful building inside and out.
We got to watch a slideshow of all the kids and hear them sing their practiced songs.
I was going to borrow a video camera from Karli, but didn't have time, so I video taped the songs on my iPhone. I uploaded a few so you can enjoy the special event too.
This one is my favorite. Zoe and her friend, Taylor, are sharing a microphone and Zoe keeps covering Taylor's mouth with her hand. Camera hog for sure.
After the concert, Santa made a special visit. Zoe was first in line, and I sprinted up to the stage with my camera to snap a couple pictures.
I love this year that she actually wants to talk to Santa. She tells him she wants the same thing every time, "a few games." That's all.
I wanted to share this random layout along with some random things from this week
- We found out Zoe is afraid of The Muppets, and learned that fact, we wasted $20 and a perfectly good evening.
- I firmly believe, marshmallows + butter melted, would taste good on anything, but on popcorn, it's amazing
- Usually I put Zoe down for a nap and 4 out of 5 times, she just plays quietly in her room. Well I discovered that if I lay her down in my bed, she actually takes a nap!
Made this quick page of my friend Amanda's little boy Duncan. I had so much fun taking pictures of him, plus the Amy tan leaves, I just couldn't resist using 2 whole packages.
We're heading over to a friend's house for desserts a little later. Sigh, I feel like the holiday season is just slipping through my fingers. Too busy. Hoping to change that this week.
Thanks to my new Silhouette machine, I made this fun little treat bag for Zoe's preschool teacher.
We're gonna fill it with some candy and a gift card.

This weekend, I decided to make a quilt as a Christmas present and that's what I've been doing for the past few nights. It's a bit of a lofty goal, but so far it's going well. Thankfully, almost all of my other Christmas shopping is done so I've got 3 weeks to finish it.
I've been a little more absent than I'd like lately, our trip, combined with sickness, combined with holidays, got me a bit off track...but I'm back and just in time for my favorite blogging month of the year, December.
That's right, I'll be doing December Daily again this year, and I've got some fun stuff planned.
Today, as the first day of December, Zoe and I will be writing her letter to Santa tonight. I made this layout with a special envelope just for this occasion.
I'm planning on using Project Life, rather than a specific mini album to document our month. Are you doing anything specific to record your holiday memories?
