In our house, the holidays mean tradition. Our ornaments that remind us each of our pasts, both individually and as a family; our annual gingerbread house evening with Emily’s dear friend Nicole and her family have been a part of our Christmas since the girls were in preschool; our annual Christmas cookies that have spanned […]
