love the pics. So I have a question... on Christmas eve/morning do you do Christmas with your immediate family? I love hearing how other people do it.
We are doing it different this year. I am spending less, giving more... I have bought several bracelets from www.cometogethertrading.com and it gives back to women in Africa trying to make a way for themselves and their children.
We are also doing for others locally. We will work giving out coats/food boxes/toys on Christmas eve morning.
Mike/Amber will come in Christmas eve LATE... and we will have Christmas together...
much much love...
