Christmas 2016

Christmas. We plan and prepare and dream and wait for this most wonderful time of the year. And it never disappoints. Even if all the gifts don't get wrapped, all the cards don't get mailed, or the entire house doesn't get cleaned, Christmas comes. And with it, the joy and warmth and coziness of that special time spent with the ones we love. This is how we spent our Christmastime this year...


We began our festivities with our Third Annual Rudolph Breakfast Friday morning...

Just to get the Christmas weekend started.

Christmas Eve! My favorite day of the year!












Christmas Day!!!

Breakfast...

And Dinner.

And in between...presents, smiles, laughter, toys and games, ribbons and bows, candy and naps, and most of all...us. Together.

Thank you Christmas.
See you again next year.
And in the meantime, we will keep your memories in our hearts.
