We're nearing the end of January and I just realized I hadn't shared my December Our Year in Photos pages.

If you're new to my blog you can read more about my Our Year in Photos Project here and read all related posts here.

At the end of each month I create an album layout out of that's month's photographs so that at the end of the year my album will be ready to go and not require any work on my part to get it ready for printing. I also choose two (or three or four, but I try to keep it at two) favourite photographs from the month that weren't from the project. Sometimes those photographs are just random ones I've taken of our family that I love and other times I use those two photographs to include an event in our album that I don't want missed - a wedding, a birth, etc.



My album is a 12"x12" album and it's going to lay flat when you open it which is why some photographs look like they're going right through the spine of the album.

For my favourites this month I had to include some photographs of our trip to Mexico - one of my sister and new brother-in-law and one each of the kids doing their thing at the pool and beach. Gracie loves her gymnastics class and her favourite thing is to swing off the high bar. When we got to the pool and she saw this handrail in the shallow end, all the she wanted to do was swing off it.
