Here’s a peek inside our family Christmas…

 

I’ve been tagged…again. This time by Diane at Good Mourning, Glory! I wasn’t going to play along, but then I received this Christmas-themed getting-to-know-you, so I thought I would combine the two. I’m not going to tag anyone in particular. TAG! You’re all it if you want to play along.
