DECEMBER

Hard to believe Christmas is over for another year. Thomas and Sarah had a wonderful time visiting with their relatives. Sarah was all smiles (most of the time) and charmed everyone with her grins, while Thomas eagerly unwrapped everything in sight, tearing off gift tags before we even knew who the gift was intended for. What wonderful memories.
