We began our family tradition for “Christmas dinner” in 2020 with the All Day Nibbles. This year, we decided to progress on our memory tree.
Lara drilled a hole in a globe for the top of our tree. That’s Neil holding it up on his shoulders 🤣
We have a number of Travel ornaments, and hope to add lots more!
