Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas...we certainly did!  My in-laws came in from PA the 19th and left on the 28th.   Our daughter was here, our daughter-in-law and bearded dragon came on the 20th, and our son and grandpups got here Friday evening!  We had a house full and LOVED it!  Lots of fun, laughter, and good eats!  All have gone home and it's very quiet here!

Wishing everyone a safe and prosperous New Year!
