    What a wonderful Christmas! I recognize those jammies! Looks like Mr. Miles had a magnificent time with all his new goodies! I think it is truly beautiful to share in the traditions with not only your family, your little family of Kings and the Zabels. Hugs to you and Happy Holidays!

    It’s pretty, and kudos to John for being creative in his gift shopping! I would need someone to put it on me for the first time or so… maybe the first ten times. Have John take a picture of you when you get it sorted!

No Santa yet. Soon though. ๐Ÿ™‚ While Miles was hanging out near the window yesterday, I thought I would get the camera out and share you what the day before the day before Christmas looks like. We had gone out that day and met a friend for lunch at an adorable tea house and when…

    Can’t go wrong with Netflix!

    I have some last minute shopping to do too. I thought I bought someone a pair of PJs, but either I didn’t or they are hidden REALLY well. Plus, his sister has a couple presents more than he does. Hope Wal-mart has Legos left.
