christmas love ~ 



throwback- love from my aunts and uncles 
Nothing brings more joy than Christmas with family. I’ve only been home once this year- in July- so it was very much overdue and so wonderful. I was able to hangout with family, friends, and my parent’s neighbors – so fun- they’re all so great! On December 26th, we received over ten inches of snow, along with blizzard condition winds. However, that didn’t stop many from coming over for a night of games and drinks. SO many laughs that night. Although it’s January- here are my 2012 Christmas memories.
love to wrap.
