Ornamental

I so enjoyed pulling out the Christmas ornaments to decorate the tree this week!   I always seem to forget about the little treasures we pack away each January, so there are lots of ooooohs and aaaaahhhs when we unwrap them one by one, and find perfect little spots for them on the tree. This […]
