Tiff's Turn

Merry Christmas, all. I hope Santa treated everyone well. It's safe to say we made out nicely. As always, Christmas kept us on-the-go with one event after another. December is always a jam-packed month of busy. Here is a list of my favorite things about the Best Month of the Year. seeing Santa and playing at Bass Pro I am having so much fun with the triplets now they they are this age. I no longer feel like I'm stuck in a prison (as much), unable to do much of anything fun with my children.

Hi there.                                             Sad news around here this week: Levi's paternal grandfather passed .
