As usual, we had two Christmas parties this year: one for the adults and one for the teens. Although a lot of the teens aren’t teens anymore….they are, in fact, adults.

Christmas Parties
Christmas Festivities
As soon as we got home from Boston, we hit the ground running with all the various Christmas happenings. First up was Grace and Tessa’s Christmas concert at school. Tess loved being on the stage.
