  Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday filled with love and laughter. Our hopefully will be filled with travel and adventure as we headed out on our last trip of the year. You can follow along with us on Instagram The last few weeks have been busy. We managed to score seats for two Rangers games and thankfully they won both times. While we don't do the tree and gifts we do shop. Every year we take the kids on a book shopping spree and here is what they bought. M and I also celebrated 16 years of marriage. We were both sick and didn't really make too big a deal out of it. We did manage to have breakfast with some friends and dinner with some family.  Every year we add a picture on the wall above our bed to celebrate another year. Also want to wish you all a very happy New Year. We did it!  also peace, more open mindedness and understanding, more kindness, love and compassion for our fellow humans.          Etsy            ...
