Christmas 2016

Being back in Maryland for Christmas means family fun, cookie baking, holiday movies, shopping and wrapping presents!  It's so nice to spend time with our family in Maryland and get a small taste of winter :-)  This year, we did quite a bit of baking and spending quality time together!  So thankful for this time in Maryland!
