Anniversary tomorrow

Don and I will be married 11 years tomorrow. He has something special planned but won't tell me...only thing I know is that we are taking the girls to the sitters around 3pm. Sydnee is sooo cute, she told me today she didn't want to go to Ree's she wanted to go to the "anniversary." Kids say the best things!

Anyways, as far as scrapping goes, I just recently made this 7Gypsies album. I did a page for each one of us and then I made calendar pages in the back to list important dates. I was pretty happy with how it turned out.
