A fun afternoon of building gingerbread houses and visiting with Santa Claus. A fun way to kick-off Christmas weekend!
I am Thankful for my Daughter
I am thankful for my daughter. She arrived at a time when I was the most unsure about myself and where I was going with my life. She arrived at a time in my life when I needed her the most. Before she was born, I was full of doubt, stressed out and focusing too …
