I've been looking for a desk on Craigslist for Cassidy and I came upon this gorgeous bedroom set. Don and I snuck it into her room on Christmas Eve while she hung out with Grandma. It made for a wonderful and BIG surprise on Christmas morning. She was speechless and we are thrilled that all her many little things now have a place.

I took my Friday group to a Christmas tree farm right before Christmas. It was beautiful and a lot of fun.
