Christmas and the new year have come and gone... seems like many of the days pass in this fashion lately. Time goes by faster than I can prepare for it! We were lucky enough to be visited by both sides of our family this year. Unfortunately we weren't complete on either side, but some is better than none! We are excited to have visitors WHENEVER they want to come. Although we have become quite accustomed to our quiet evenings just the two of us, being of large families sometimes it just doesn't feel like home without the craziness that our visitors bring! This year we enjoyed making a gingerbread house (1st place), long walks with Bentley in a close by state park, dinner at National Harbor, Christmas Eve mass, a new favorite Cranium, cooking, and a trip to Georgetown (New York) for shopping and lunch.
