Nichole’s Picks 11/21 + 11/22

While it feels like I was doing Schooner Festival posts about a minute ago, facts are it is time for Christmas and Holiday posts.

Sorry.

For me, the holidays are about tradition.  I also love to create some special days with the boys….and sometimes those days involve day trips or special trips into the city.  Later on, my holiday posts will be about the more local activities that we love to do each year as well.
