Christmas Faces & a Link Party
My friend Shan at Family Brings Joy is having a fun link up party this week. It’s a Stunned Faces Photo Link up where you can post pictures of Christmas day and the surprise or stunned look on the person’s face as they are opening a gift. I didn’t capture any this year but I

Christmas Entryway & Banister
Can you believe there are only 9 days until Christmas?
