Happy Holidays to everyone!!! We love this time of year, and are so excited to be celebrating it with lots of our family this year. Hopefully Santa will be able to give us all that we really want this year too.
Since I did send out Christmas cards this year, I decided I would do a video of the things we have done this year, which in fact did not want to load onto this blog post....so, I will just put the pictures up with captions. I know it's a lot of pictures but not much reading. :) Which looking back over it, we did a lot and loved every minute of it!! Enjoy!
First though...please press play on the music to enjoy the pictures more. Thanks! :)
