There's something about Valentine's Day, that makes me all "giddy," inside.

Vintage Christmas Party

Oh how fun this Vintage Christmas party would have been. Yes... I said, "Would have been." :(One of my kiddos came down with a fever a couple of days before our annual Santa Night Party this year. Unfortunately, his little body can't handle fevers like some others can. He's one of the not-so-lucky ones that suffer from febrile seizures.
