CHRISTMAS DAY AND BEYOND

We arrived right on time in Kentucky and we were blessed with a quick and easy trip! We had such a ball letting these three play all weekend long.

Saturday Mia invited both sides of the family to Ky to visit and we had such a beautiful time. Everyone was so happy to see one another, and reconnect. We ate, took pics, and had great conversation. These kids picked right up where they left off…
