Tis’ the Season for Love
Tis’ the Season for Love... I posted on Facebook our tree is done and our house is decorated. I had just settled down with my laptop and a little bottle of cold coke.

If at all possible, he will stand behind a kid taller than he is and move his lips every once in a while. I have learned to accept that you can drive a kid to their holiday concert … Continue reading Concerts and Kids
