What a wonderful day we had! We woke up around 730am and of course the kids were eager to see what was under the tree. The kids loved all their presents that Santa brought. Then we had them open their big presents from us. The quality is terrible because it is a screen shot of... Continue Reading →

How the heck do they do it?! At the same time, we never went without on Christmas growing up. So I guess it... Continue Reading →
