"(Our Christmas Photos) - 2003"

 

 

Christmas in July?

Well that IS a "thing"...

But I didn't create this layout w/ that in mind.

I just happen to come across these photos while doing some organizing; it's amazing what you can find when you actually get organized!

I found them comical...

We all look so young and I look so much, um... "thicker" than I am now... LOL

 

Everything on this layout is super old stash (I'm talking like at least 4 years old!) - except for the journaling block and the 2 yellow and green snowflake stickers and the1 red flower.

 

Which leads me to share a couple of "interesting" facts about me (as it relates to this post):

 

-   I'm not a fan of holidays, including (especially) Christmas.

I hardly have any photos of Christmas and detest Christmas scrapbooking papers/kits, because I have no real use for them.

The winter kits aren't much use for me either because we don't live where there is a "real" winter.

 

- Once Madi started school, and therefore started having yearly (school) photos taken, we stopped getting our photos professionally taken.

David and I figured w/ the school photos and all the photos I take, their wasn't much of a need for the "formal" photos. 

 

Both those facts make these photos "rare gems"!

 

 

BTW - question time:

I included the ages of the kids and had originally included mine and David's ages as well, but then took them off; it just seemed weird to me.

I'm again second-guessing myself w/ that choice.

 

What would you do in this situation:

would you include the ages of you and your spouse?
