hoping yours was merry and bright

The BEST part about this Christmas was having a full house.  The WORST part about this Christmas was when everybody left.

missing Daddy

This is how we spent the first morning when Daddy left for North Carolina.  Can't you tell how thankful we are for this new job opportunity?

There are NO drama queens in this house!

Favorite Traditions

Growing up, one of my very favorite days of the year was the Saturday after Thanksgiving when our family of nine would pile into the big blue van to go cut down our Christmas tree.  The best part?  Hot chocolate, treats, and being together.  We're trying to make this a favorite day in our little family, too!
