Ryan's First Christmas

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  My parents left for Texas about a half an hour ago, Ryan is at school, and I am sitting down with my breakfast sweet potato casserole and a cuppa before I take Daphne out for her walk.  My plan for the rest of the day is to do laundry and maybe sneak in some crafty time : )

I was feeling nostalgic for when Ryan was a wee babe so I chose Ryan's first Christmas to share today.

D'awww, he was such a cutie (I mean, he still is, he just argues more). 

Oops, the page on the right is sideways and I didn't even notice until I was editing photos!

Okay, much better now that it's not sideways.  I made sure to include the pictures of Vader peeking around the tree at what's happening--I still miss him and Sadie, but I am so glad to have a dog again.  Daph is very different than Sadie and Vader but I love her.  Anyway, I chose a favorite pattern from the Under the Mistletoe DSP for my pages and then a few simple stamped accents to keep the focus on my bébé (and the hubs).

Today's festive color palette:  Real Red, Shaded Spruce, Old Olive, Night of Navy, and Whisper White.

Okay, I'm going to go take the pupper for a walk.  Cheers!
