dear blog,
i guess christmas is over, but everywhere i go i want to shout "merry christmas!" it's kind of a disaster.
but alas, the season was so so lovely.
it included:
lots and lots and lots of caroling
lots and lots of family time
lots of food
lots of fun
lots of snow

p.s. nickie started/almost finished her mission papers!! it's so crazy to think that christmas next year will be so different with her gone (and let's face it, richie and/or maddie will probably be married)
