As we enter the new year I’m sitting here still trying to sift through all of our Christmas photos. And man, was it filled with lots of memories. Here are a few of my faves…

[kicking off Christmas break with a trip to Bauders Pharmacy for ice cream]
[picking up a few last minute groceries]
[broke out my festive tartan Pendleton mugs]
[Everett’s favorite new toy]
[Branstad cousins in matching elf jammies]
[the best dessert ever, Bauders peppermint bars]
[Haas cousins in matching Santa jammies]
[all is calm, all is bright]
[molasses cookies for the jolly big man]
[the boys got me new kicks to run after them with]
[Fitzie’s haul: Jellycat book, Bannor Toys state rattle, Bla Bla Kids rattle, RePlay bowls]
