So, here's the idea. I have been mulling it over and still can't decide what to do, so I'm throwing it out to the Peas! 
I have been with my SO for almost 3 years. Our "story" is pretty unique in many ways. Since we've been together we've had lots of adventures (ok, adventures for us, maybe not for most people! lol), a few trips, holidays, etc.
I would like to do a scrapbook of our story for him for Christmas. Here's the dilemma. Do I do it for just him (and me) and include the more personal stuff (feelings, conversations, etc., a journal with pics basically) or do I do make it for other people to see?
Example: Our first big trip together was to a Cardinals game(we live 3 hours north of St. Louis). We had only been seeing each other for a few weeks. Busch Stadium was where we had our first kiss. I don't mind telling people about that part, but there are parts about the trip that I want to chronicle and remember (like we stayed in the same room but all we did was sleep, we hadn't touched beyond the occasional hug until we were at the stadium that day and he asked if he could hold my hand, then we had our kiss after the game). But there were feelings and thoughts and fears that we both experienced that I really want to include with that group of pics/memories. Some of those things aren't really for "public" consumption though.
So... book for JUST us (and the kids will likely read it someday when we're gone)... or one that it more general that he can show off if he wants to??
