Nothing Left To Do But Enjoy

Posted in Uncategorized at 3:22 pm by PaperDesigns

I worked really hard last week to get all the finishing touches for our Holidays completed.  I finished making up the last of my Christmas cards and envelopes (above), scrubbed the house from top to bottom, got everything put away, got all the teachers’ gifts made and delivered.  Made up all the batches of Christmas Bread, Holiday Fudge and Rum Balls.  I am so happy, but the “to do” list is empty!  Now I can truly sit back and enjoy the Holidays as they unfold.  We have some fun activities planned – some wooden ornaments to paint, some beaded ornaments to string, and there’s a walking tour of a lighted park that we’re going to.  We have “family fun night” planned with games and tournaments, and, of course, we have traditional foods planned for every meal! 

The presents are wrapped and under the tree, the stockings are hung up, and we have 4 days of non-stop partying (family style) to get underway!  I’m looking forward to taking the photos of our Holidays and getting them scrapped.  The older I get, I find the more of the “little moments” I’m forgetting.  But I know that these “little moments” will be the moments I most want to remember as the years go by.  These are memories I’ll want to remind my children about – so they can understand their importance, and recreate these times for their (future) children.  Traditions to be enjoyed and passed on – that’s what our Holidays are about, and scrapbooking this will help us preserve these traditions!
