secret santa and scrapbooking

Sunday evening, after the matinee, the kids had a cast Christmas party to attend. This was a big one as it was the night that their Secret Santas would be revealed. They were beside themselves with excitement. Alex's Secret Santa hadn't given him anything yet so he was excited to get his present. Clara's Secret Santa had been giving her little gifts along the way so she wasn't expecting much, but was excited to find out who her Santa was.

Alex's Secret Santa gave him a box of Lego kits which he was absolutely thrilled about! Clara's Santa totally shocked us. He gave her these...
... pointe shoes that had been worn and autographed by a Joffrey Ballet dancer! She was totally in awe!

Given that this was a story I wanted to record, I decided to breakout the digital scrapbooking supplies and scrap a page...
(Kit - all i need collab kit - paislee press and amy wolff @oscraps or the lily pad)

After that I got on a bit of a roll!

Here's a page about Clara's role as Sally...

And finally, a project I'm thinking about taking on... mini 4x6 layouts to document the different ornaments on our tree...

I'm going to really try to scrap more this next year... I have missed documenting so many stories during this little break I took.
