Pin ItIt’s been a crazy busy week around here. Besides all the parties, our elves have been really active. Here’s a quick glimpse of what Nicky, Merry & Holly have been up to this past week. They toilet papered the kids rooms to make it look like a winter wonderland and then rode the rest of [...]
Pin ItI am taken aback each and every year that stores start to decorate for Christmas the day after Halloween. . They got me to thinking, isn’t there an in between?
