Well, it has been over 2 months since I last updated our blog...pathetic, I know! But I'm back with an update from the holidays and lots of pictures. I got a new camera for Christmas and I LOVE it! We had a wonderful holiday season and got to spend lots of time with friends and family.
I'll start back in the middle of December and work up to New Year's day to get caught up!
