ReplyDeleteWhite lights are very peaceful, and what a great observation. I love the background of your blog. It's very sweet.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you. May it exceed your expectations this year!
I bought a ton of dog stuff today since most of their toys have been annihilated in my back yard. Time to start the new year with new toys.
