My slacking on posting is due to holiday preparation. This year is a year of “Firsts” without dad, and a year of “Firsts” with McKinley.

1. McKinley and I made Santa letters!

2. We did get around to putting up and decorating the trees. McKinley was very helpful. She likes the lights 🙂

3. And we put our stockings up.

4. Thanksgiving was hard, but we were blessed to have two wonderful meals spent with our loving family.

5. I had my first Black friday
shopping experience. Damage was done.

6. AND…drum roll please…History was made. The Detroit Lions kicked some major ass. “Go Lions!!!”
