Welcome to Our Christmas

 Selah together Christmas Eve day… Resting up for our annual night of  undeniable laughter and crazy fun… UNO. Uno has been a  Christmas Eve tradition in our home for as long as I can remember… Although the ‘rules’ have changed a bit over the years, the last one holding any cards has to put their…

So Here’s The Plan…
