let's talk about it

This was Harry Potter’s year.  Yes, two of the three girls asked for Legos from Santa.  But they have hardly played with them because they are too busy playing with all their other Harry Potter goodies.  But let me start this story at the beginning.  We started our Christmas adventure at church on Christmas Eve […]
