Messing with the blogging world since 2005

Photo Blogging Challenge (December 2018): Feliz Navidad

January 1, 2019

Another year has come to an end. And that means the December results are set to be done.

As always this month features a pretty open to interpretation theme. I’m sure we all came up with something decent.

I hope you all had a great holiday season. And I also hope many of you will join us with the 20 Days of Chill Challenge!

So, let’s get December up and running! Here are my five for the month! Check back tomorrow for January’s theme!

1. Feliz Navidad!

How can this month’s theme not start with Cameron? 

2. A gift to last generations

My mother is an amazing quilter. And my niece, Nicole, wanted a quilt for Christmas. She was surprised when it came out! She’ll have this forever. 

3. Gingerbread men/items!

I am not a baker by any stretch. But at one of the school’s I work in, the UPK there does a yearly thing with the kids and gingerbread men. I got the recipe and, after nearly giving up, I got through it and … they came out quite well! 

4. Lights!

We have some great light shows in our area. This is from one of them. 

5. Opening gifts

We end how we started.. Cameron opening gifts! 

There are my five. I look forward to seeing what everybody else came up with!

If you took part in this month’s challenge, make sure to link up below. And for those of you who participated, make sure you try and get to other people’s blogs and comment (here, too!). Let’s continue to grow this challenge and have a strong community. Come back and check out the others who link later on, too!

Also, don’t forget to get back here January 2 (later in the day) for the January theme!

NOTE: I set up a Facebook group for those who participate in the challenge and are interested. I’ll post any announcements there and hopefully it can be a place where things are discussed and some interaction etc. You can access it here.

    I almost featured some gingerbread photos too.

    Every December my friend Julie hosts a women’s only party called “Gingerbread Women in Pants”.

    This year I brought Elise and all the guests just loved her.

    Hope you, Cameron, and your whole family had a wonderful Christmas!

    What a wonderful light decoration, very festive!
    Congratulations on tackling the gingerbread cookie recipe! I find it hard to cut out cookies that keep their shape after baking. You did really well!

    Cameron is always a favorite! It’s so much fun to view Christmas through the eyes of a child. I’m much too lazy to do cut-out cookies! I love the quiet and marvel at the skill it takes to put together such a labor of love. Here’s wishing you and yours a wonderful 2019!

      I need to get back into more photos of Cameron, that’s for sure. And I had never really cut cookies… but I was happy with how they eventually came out! A great 2019 to you and yours as well!

    The holiday spirit really comes through in this photo set – the wonder of it all as a child, the beauty of lights and the extra effort we all make in preparing food to share. You even managed to squeeze in a board game – are you starting Cameron young?

      I have played a couple of board games with Cameron and I know I have a few in mind when he gets a wee bit older!

You know, of course, Santa Paws travels with Santa Clause, making sure to find treats and toys for all the good little doggies! (We know they are all deserving, right?) So, Harper put out some milk for the big guy, carrots for Rudolph and the reindeer, and special cookies for Santa Paws! She is ready!

I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I have her. It’s been a year and four months and she makes me smile and laugh more each day. It’s amazing how much a dog changes your look on life, and how much joy they can bring.

This one is recent from the courthouse square in Delhi. We had some pretty good fall colors this year.

I had Harper so not a lot I could do, but I managed to get the cart off the chair. (See second photo) This was in a local park.

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
