That was our craft of the day – we spent a huge part of the morning working on those.  It was just so nice to have a slow, low-key day to just be after all the busyness of the holiday season, even though that was all wonderful, too.  Here is Mason showing off his finished […]

What a beautiful day we had yesterday.  Started the day at Addie’s, seeing what June and Mason got for Christmas.  Then to Andrew’s for lunch & to check out Charlie and Adam’s goodies, even though Jenny still wasn’t 100%.  Made a stop by to visit with Granny and Elise, and then finished up the day […]
