This first layout I am posting is a picture of Madison, she had only been home from the hospital a few days when this was take, if I am not mistaken this is one of the ones I took on her 2 week birthday. Beth had laid her down on a nice soft stuffed tiger that was Johnathan's but he said his baby sister could have it now since he is a big boy. Johnathan was amazed at how small Madison was and he acted like he was a bit afraid to touch her for a while, thankfully he has gotten over that. Now he wants to play with her but he is still not keen on holding her, he gets a look on his face like he is afraid she is going to break and this is one sturdy little girl now.
I made this layout using a kit from Gypsy Couture called Starlight Dreams you can get this kit and many more at Plain Digital Wrapper.
Christmas around my in-laws house is crazy, every year my mother-in-law says she is cutting back, not going to buy so much again this year, we all smile at her and nod yes because we all know better. Every year the living room is filled to overflowing. We all pile in the house and start munching out like crazy since we all bring stuff to eat, we pile our plates high with good stuff then head into the living room, everyone sits in the same spot every year, Mom gets the big green chair, Dad sits in his computer chair, Don and Karen sit on the sofa, Kathy sits in the rocker, Ron sits on the other chair. Doug and I snag the love seat, Chelsea plops down on the floor next to Doug and Chad gets to hand out the presents. Everyone is given 1 gift, then the first person opens their present and shows it all around, then the next one goes and this goes on until everyone has opened their gift, then it starts all over. This takes a while since there are so many to open, during the midst of all of this Don is busy sending Chelsea out to the kitchen to fill his plate back up, I Doug and I usually sneak out from time to time to get more goodies to munch on also. Then poor Chad is stuck handing out the presents and doesn't get to eat, but that's alright since he makes up for it later. The layout here was taken at Christmas 2005, we always try to get some family pictures in there some time and these pictures were to cute to pass up using on a layout, the one of the twins I have used before but I just never get tired of looking at those expressions on the kids. Chad is always so stoic and will not smile for a picture so I have to catch him before he is ready.
I made this layout using a kit from Gypsy Couture called Farmhouse Country, the kit will be in the store soon and I know you are going to want to grab this one, you can find all of Gypsy Couture's kits at Plain Digital Wrapper
My mother-in-law is a florist and really has a knack for decorating Christmas trees, I guess from listening to Doug and his brothers Mom always decorated her tree with ornaments that they had made and multi-colored lights, well she got a new tree and she really does a gorgeous job on this tree, she does it all in gold with tons of the little white lights, it is breath-taking to look at. Now you have to know that the "boys" (boys being the term that Doug and his brothers are referred as)are all grown ups, adult men who live in their own homes and have their own families now, these "boys" could not believe that their Mother would change trees, she is not using their homemade ornaments anymore, these are grown men for goodness sakes, I just laugh at them since they are so silly and I just wish I could decorate a tree like Mom does.
I made this layout using Gypsy Couture's Farmhouse Christmas which will be in the store soon at the link above for Plain Digital Wrapper.
