It’s official–we are in the thick of the holiday season! Matt and I kicked things off by putting up our Christmas tree, sipping sparkling cider, and sharing a beginning-of-holidays-but-not-quite-at-midnight smooch. And this weekend it’s home again, home again for us as we head back down to Bountiful to celebrate the holidays with my entire extended family. It should be …
