A Very Merry December

Decorating the grandkid tree at grandma and grandpa's.

Grandma's giant tree

The hand me down car didn't make the cut for a Christmas gift but instead was promised to be in working condition by Andi's birthday.

Andrew decided it was time to decorate way before I was ready to dive into those boxes

Michael's box was damaged by the leak in our garage - wasn't sure how to explain that one to Jackson.

These two wrote multiple letters to Santa and loved every response back

Sleep over at grandma and grandpa's while mom and dad attended their annual Quest for the Vest
