Is it Christmas yet?

Mommy, are you sure there isn't anything in my stocking yet?

i heart snapfish

I've been working on photo books a lot lately. Seriously. A. Lot.

Last week, snapfish had a 50% off photobooks sale and I decided to make a book for Meredith and another one for Jesse for Christmas. Meredith's is full of photo's from her trip to Florida that she took last February. Jesse's is an ABC book full of things that he knows.

Each are really cool, but they took forever. Seriously. Forever.

Between picking out pictures, doing a little editing when needed, uploading the pictures to snapfish, and then designing the books, it took hours.

But it was really fun to make them, and will be even more fun to see the kids open their own personalized photo book at Christmas.

Not to mention the great time I had reliving the year through pictures.

Like Jesse's birthday party...


and my trip to Florida with Meredith...


Meredith's birthday...


and other random fun times...

the classics

Ahhh, there's nothing like reading a good classic...

you know...

like Brown Bear, Brown Bear and Junie B. Jones!

only in iowa!

Yeah, I'm thinking maybe only in Iowa do you see a combine and tractor and wagon parked at a gas station getting lunch!

remind me why

So we just got back from Florida.

And I'm having a hard time reminding myself why I live in a place that has 4 seasons instead of living in a tiki hut on the beach.

Seriously.
