We are hosting my in-laws for Christmas today – this is a first for us since we just recently moved in our new home. Linda is super excited and has all kinds of ideas for how to make it a special day for our family. It’s going to be fun.
I pray you have a fantastic Christmas this year and that the transition into 2010 is a good one. Thanks for being a part of CPF – it would not be what it is without readers like yourself!
