I will be snitching a few of your ideas for our Christmas fun!
ReplyDeleteI am inviting myself over for the peppermint ice cream! Just kidding. We missed you today and I hope you are doing alright. Paris Street Market Christmas show is Fri-Sat but I think you might be a little too under the weather still to go!
ReplyDeleteWow, your's is so much cuter than ours! Mine is pretty ghetto - you'll see when I post it :)
