This Christmas season was very different for us. Since Tom is working from home to take care of me during chemo, we actually saw him this holiday season! He was able to be part of everything and I am so thankful for that!! I never want it any other way!!
So here is our month of December in pictures. 🙂

Since it was so cold, we decided to just let Tom go get the tree the this year. 🙂

My Dad was here this year to put the tree up with us!

Not sure about the silly poses, but it’s a fun picture!

Our neighbors sent us away for the weekend to the Hyatt in Bellevue! Our room was AMAZING!

The best place to watch Snowflake Lane!!
