The Greene Life....: Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy and merry holiday season. We drove up to my Mom's for Christmas with the pups in tow and will be here until Sunday and then home for a few days and leaving on Tuesday for the in-laws for New Year's. It has been a rough year and we are both looking forward to ringing in the new year. I need to do an update on what has been happening in the last few weeks since I have been MIA, but we are about to go to a neighbor's for dessert. Because things have been so hectic, gift giving was quite odd this year. My husby got me a cute dolphin ring which wraps around my finger and then has a row of diamonds....

I will post our update and fill in the last weeks later.

Happy Holidays All!
