[day 5]
marshall received a video message from santa! pssst…i made it at http://www.portablenorthpole.tv/home. you spend about 5 minutes entering a few specifics about your kiddo and you are emailed a personalized video message. it really is sooooooo cool….and it’s free. i think i will buy the video file for $7 after the holidays so i can burn it to a cd and add it to our december daily album.
The Polar Express is a favorite all year long.
[day 6]

[day 7]
i got a special package in the mail today. dawn, you made my day.iI will take pics of the picture she painted and include them in our album.
[day 8] tried to make coca-cola cupcakes. personal fail. they were light and fluffy. but they didn’t taste like chocolate and they didn’t really taste like coke either. they just didn’t feel good enough to bring to scrap night. no biggie.
[day 9] early birthday celebration with my crafty gals. brought my camera to get a pic of us but got busy and forgot. another epic fail. but i completed 5 pages!
[day 10] took a ride on the santa train.

I love the sweet pictures of Marshall, he’s such a cutie!! Love the pic of you with your gift from me. Even made sure the wrapping paper went with your color scheme!! You look so adorable in that last pic holding Marshall, that hat is so cool on you.
your gift was amazing! loved it and put it in a special place where i see it when i come and and before i leave the front door!
thanks girl, i love that hat too…it’s my fave for sure!
I can’t believe that Super Mario is still around. I still remember when we got ours…I was like 10 (long time ago.) LOL
yeh, we downloaded it on the wii for like $10 and the boys still play it, just like we did as kids! it’s amazing how i remembered exactly where all the secret bonus things were. (because yes, i play too)!
