Christmas in Who-Ville

Our Christmas season has been a little discombobulated this year. We’re not spending it at home, and although we’re looking forward to going to Texas and seeing that part of the family and spending Christmas with them…. we have SO many traditions that center around our family here, that things seem a little “off.”

The TV Star

Sneak Peak

We went to Burbank for Kaity’s Knitty Gritty rehearsal today. We had such fun!
