‘Tis the season!

 

Mama and Caleb December 2016

 

What a joyous month it has been!  ‘Tis the season for… Christmas pjs, yummy food, twinkly lights, white elephant parties, Amazon boxes galore, carols playing everywhere, reunions with old friends, sleepovers, and the story of Jesus’ birth retold again and again.  Thankfully, most of our celebrating fell at the beginning and end of the month because it is also the season for stomach viruses and colds.  Despite a solid ten days of illness circulating throughout our home, we missed very little of the seasonal fun!
