what an awesome tradition! i wanna do that too! I loved your christmas card :)
i've been slacking on posting what we've been doing but hoping to get some of them caught up tonight! it's been fun but challenging! you should start in on it. i was debating on the 12 days vs 25 days and just thought we'd have more fun with the 25! :) we loved your card too. thanks so much!
