Home for the Holidays - Christmas 2017

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!  December is always a busy time in our family...Braden's birthday, holiday baking, decorating and shopping (and lots of Hallmark movies!!!).  It's a wonderful time of the year and we are so thankful to be able to spend time with our family getting ready for the festivities!
