Apple orchard, corn maze and trick or treating!!!
I’m doing a December daily, but want to get more decoration photos this year.
I have pictures of the kids helping set up the Christmas tree and decorating it every year, so I know I’ll be doing that again this year. I also have to get more pics of the kids helping me make Christmas cookies this year. I’ve never taken pictures of us doing that activity together, but it’s a special memory in my mind because that’s what I used to do with my mom when I was little, so I want to capture that in pictures!
anything I can get done
We ALWAYS cook for the holidays!! =) We LOVE this time of year because of the Fall Harvest so I will be taking photos with Grandpas and dad in the Combine!! Also for Christmas the decorating will be a photo opt too!! THANKS for sharing and for the chance to win!! Have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
cookie decorating is a good one to scrap!
Well, I don’t scrapbook (I’m a card maker), but my husband does love to take pictures so maybe this year I’ll do some sort of mixed media mini-book of our holidays.
This will be the first time my family will spend christmas together in over ten years so I know I will have plenty of pictures for several christmas scrapbooks.
Would like to scrapbook our birthday party of Jesus and our extended family get-together.
I love to take pics of kids baking for the holidays!
This is the first year my daughter can actively participate in Christmas – I just hope she’s not like her cousin who came downstairs Christmas Eve and unwrapped all the presents!
I will be photographing my grandson. It will be his second holiday season, but the first one he can enjoy as a toddler….
This may be the ast year of Santa pics, so I will definitely scrap those, plus the tree trimming, that is a must every year. I do a big double spread of the gift opening frenzy and the family photos, cooking, eating, playing games…. Really look forward to it all!
This is the first year for Halloween, that only one of my son’s is going. My other son, outgrew it this year. So, I will take photos of my younger son Trick or Treating with his friend this year. Thanks for a chance to win.
I want to document decorating the tree, making cookies and treats, unwrapping gifts, filling Operation Christmas Child boxes, and all our Elf on the Shelf antics!
I am looking forward to getting some great photo memories with my brand new Great Nephew!

Yes!! This sounds amazing!
I would love to win a free subscription. Thank you!!
Of course I have to make a holiday scrapbook of all of my nephews and niece. They grow up so fast and I want to remember them as they were in 2012!
I think I’ll do a page of Christmas past and present. I’ve never done one of mine or my husband’s childhood Christmas, but love looking at the pictures.
I like capturing family enjoying whatever we happen to be doing to prepare for the holidays.
I would love to win the magazines!! Great ideas!
