Birthday boy, pictures and some layouts

I totally feel like scrapping again, after a couple of months of very low mojo! Last week I went to the first 'class' of a local scrapbook association, it was good fun and nice to scrap with others again! I'll definately go more often, even though our mutual time tables here might not allow me to go each time. AND Saturday two weeks from now I go to a huge crop where I'll take 3 classes and hopefully have a lot of scrap fun.

September means back to school, in France it does anyway. I tradionally take pictures of my kids on the first day of school, easy to compare each year! Here they are for 2009:

Yesterday we celebrated Albans birthday with a couple of his friends from school (and other), this involved a lot of shouting and screaming, a lot of running and climbing, a lot of playing, a lot of presents and a lot of candy! And of course this also involved a birthday cake with 5 candles:

I also did a little scrap these last days. I suddenly had this feeling that I needed to scrap some more of the kids first years, as I started scrapping only in 2005, I mostly scrap recent pictures and the first years are really missing from their albums. So I tried to make up a little ;-)

This first one is about my little girls' second birthday. This feels weird to show her 2d birthday in the same post as his 5th! She's 7 now. Cute pictures!

This one is with pictures made during my son's first year. It is also the first layout I do without any patterned paper, I just realise this :-O Love these pictures!!

And finally this wonderful picture of Naomi with Snowwhite and her prince, Naomi is very proud of this picture and for me it was the opportunity to use this paper that I once bought and didn't think I'd ever use ;-) That happens!

I have one more layout that is almost finished and I need to finish the layout I started during the scrap class, so I'll have more to show soon! Thanks for looking!
