Blessed 2009

My first layout for the year is a double layout! Wow! I haven't done double layouts in a long time and wasn't sure if I wanted to continue or not. But I wanted to include all the pictures so I just treaded on. It turned out pretty okay, I think, plus I was able to use the rest of my American Crafts 6th Avenue papers. :D This is for Journaling Junkie's challenge for the week.
