I hope everyone had a great Holiday season! Aside from being disgustingly sick (ugh) I had a very nice time. Surprises were had all around and much family time was spent. Although I will admit that I really like the lead up to Christmas more than I like the actual day. This year my daughter and I made from scratch accordion style picture albums. It took us the better part of 2 weeks to get them all done but we did. And that is a way better gift to me than anything she could buy. Spending 2 weeks laughing at the tape all over the place. I try to teach her that that is the meaning of the season.

In any case here are some highlights from my home this Christmas season.
