Starting early on holiday gifts - Last year's "When I grow up I want to be..." photo book

I am so excited to see July ending soon!  In Arizona we have incredibly hot summers and this month is usually spent indoors.  Temperatures start to get better in late August.  By September we are normally spending everyday outside loving our state. 

With July coming to end I'm realizing how close we are getting to the holidays.  Each year I plan to start earlier with my homemade gifts.  Last year I didn't do such a great job getting an early start.  This year I hope to do better.  That means I better start making our holiday gifts tomorrow!  With that in mind I want to share my favorite gift we gave our parents last year.  This is one of those gifts that should have been started earlier than December!  I went through all the online albums of photos I had taken of my daughter last year and saved every picture of her doing something silly.   I uploaded the photos to Snapfish and turned them into a funny "when I grow up I want to be..." book.  Our family loved the gift and I'm sure this is something that will continue to make us smile as my daughter grows.
