Easy Snowman Cupcakes Recipe for Kids
How Does Your Family Celebrate the Holiday Season?
Everyone knows how much I love the Christmas holiday, but well, let’s just say that things haven’t been quite the same in recent years. After my divorce and Angeline growing up and moving out, Christmas is a bit lack luster in my home…last year, I didn’t even put up Christmas lights on the house or pull out my two huge storage bins full of Christmas decorations!
I did put up the tree and Angeline came home to help me decorate it, so that was wonderful! I decided to really change focus this year and concentrate on my nieces and nephews – and of course, my three sisters and brothers in law – so that I can still get that fun Christmas spirit going now that Angeline isn’t at home anymore.
