It's finished. It's thick, too. Was beginning to think I might need bigger rings, but I think I'm going to leave it as is. It's such an undertaking to get this thing accomplished every year, especially considering the timing of it during the craziness of the holidays PLUS some mad CHA deadline creating going on. I'm always SO glad I did it though. There's no way I would document all the detail of our daily life in my normal scrapbooking of events that occur. It always makes me want to do more of a daily journal all year, but then I wake up from that nightmare-of-a-thought & come back to reality. Ummmmmm... no.
Santa signed the bottom of Bryn's note she had left for him with his hot chocolate, cookies & carrots for the reindeer. She was pretty excited when she saw it on Christmas morning.
Sigh... going to miss all this innocence. If only it could last forever...
Congrats on finishing it, Deana! I'm so impressed! It looks great and you'll be so glad to have it all documented :)
It is so sad when the innocence is gone . . . my oldest DD is now in the know. Thankfully she still plays along for the little sibs.

Congrats!! What a beautiful keepsake!!!! Congrats!!
We told first born this year, abruptly, "santa isn't real!" Her dad figured it out on his own at 5, we are tired of waiting for her to make the connection that Santa cannot physically deliver gifts to everyone on Christmas Even, therefore he ain't real! So we told her, lol.

This turned out great!! I I really need to do a project like this. The last couple of years, I've said I was gonna do a December Daily or Project Life thing.... Maybe I'll do a May Daily or something this year. :)
I know what you mean about wishing the innocence could stay... I love doing the Santa notes and treats with Alison.
