December FamilyX12 Blog Hop

Welcome to the FamilyX12 Blog Hop! There are only a few of us this month as it is such a busy time of year, however I'm so glad I've participated this year and made sure I got a family photo each month. Today I'm sharing my favorite photo from November as well as a photo for December.

My November photo shows us participating in one of our favorite Thanksgiving & Christmas Day traditions - indulging in a piece of pie at 10 am. As you can see, we actually each enjoyed two small slices of pie this year, pumpkin and pecan!

And here's our December photo from one of the Christmas events we attended this past weekend.


I decided to use my twelve photos for 2011 to create a digital page that I'll use as the 2011 yearly overview page in my chronological scrapbook.

A special thanks to Margie for organizing this hop each month this year! I know there were several months that I would not have gotten a photo of us together if it hadn't been for the focus of the FamilyX12 challenge.
