I'm struggling to squeeze in blogging this month. <br /><br />When you see those old photos it does feel like it went by in the blink of an eye, doesn't it? Enjoy your week!

I love the pictures you shared. I definitely have to go through my photos. Traditions change a little bit as they get older. We love opening one gift at a time and it last for hours.
