2021 Christmas Schoolhouse
Every year we do “Christmas School” a little different and I am actually really okay with it! This year was more on the simpler side and it totally worked this year. Last year, we started celebrating ADVENT and I love it! It has been a tradition we have wholeheartedly embraced. To go along with advent, …
