We had a busy time prepping for Christmas this year (or should I say last year), which should be pretty evident from the obvious lack of blogging between Thanksgiving and now. 😀 My sis and her family celebrated Christmas with us and so did my in-laws (Keith’s parents). […]

Wow! It was a gorgeous day today! I think we might just have officially used up our quota of good days for the year. 😀 Since we opted not to cook a big Thanksgiving meal (which we will be doing at Christmas instead), we decided […]
