Christmas 2016 is in the Books!

I know I’m not the first person to say how it’s hard to believe this year’s Christmas has come and gone already and that we’ll be ringing in 2017 this coming weekend – but it is so true!

This year’s Christmas was wonderful and special because we kept it simple.

Christmas Traditions I’d Like to Continue and Begin

Happy Monday everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a Happy New Year.

Pardon the timeliness (or lack thereof) for this post, but this is just to prepare you for the several posts that will be a mix of recaps and current musings for awhile as I try and make up the time I lost while I took a brief hiatus. 🙂 Hopefully all the back and forth will make sense.
