[gintal]

These LOs are so inspiring, thanks for sharing! I just got my canon rebel for mother's day this year and I am so looking forward to Christmas, birthdays, vacation, well just everything, so I can take pics that look good larger than 2 inches. (my old camera was only 2 megapixels, of course, it was top of the line when I bought it 6 years ago.)

[idtwinmom]

Congrats dagwood and JStockert! Now to go look at the gallery, didn't make it in last night. I kept losing access to the server.

[Katie2004]

congrats to dagwood and JStocker. did not make it to this thread last night but posted anyway.

The single most anticipated can't-be-missed tradition we have for the week or so before Christmas is decorating gingerbread houses. Some years we do kits, some years we do them from scratch, and some years we do them with graham crackers and cookies instead of gingerbread. But always we do them, making them a center piece of our holiday decorations and then eating them on Christmas day and the days after.

So, here is my layout of our houses from last year (it was kits last year) with the artists as well. This layout is also the start of my goal to do an album for 2007 by the end of August (although I won't be disappointed if I have to use September to finish). The photo is a link.
