Even though my kids are mostly grown we still really enjoy our Christmas, and this year Santa bought his big burlap bag of surprises.
Everyone came over to open presents.
and he got his own little ornament from a neighborhood friend!
And grand baby had the best-est time.
December Merry Christmas... was a blast, I love to decorate, and even got help from the dog!
