SHARING OUR FAMILY CHRISTMAS 2016
Happy to be sharing our family Christmas and would love to hear about some of your family traditions and activities.
A CHRISTMAS VISIT FROM THE CLAUSES
A Christmas visit from the Clauses is really a perfect, memorable event to share with your children or grandchildren.

I believe that I can still feel the warmth in our home and experience the wonderful smells coming from the kitchen. One of the Thanksgiving traditions our family observed was that everyone came to our house to eat. This included grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends.
