~Happy New Year- 2017 and Simple & Sweet Fridays #252~

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year for 2017 !

I wanted to share with you photos of our Christmas this year.

Some sugar cookies I made.

I painted some 

Christmas snowflake cookies.

A Christmas present from a friend years ago,

 keeps the tradition in the family to make fresh corn tortillas from a tortilla press maker.

Our Christmas stockings all filled with surprises!

Presents waiting to be opened on Christmas day.

Christmas morning with the kids.

Carly, Scott and Katie.

~Harry and Katie~

Excited about their engagement.

Best Wishes for the New Year from our family,

Stan, Jody, Carly, Katie and Scott

and of course, Maggie!

Happy New Year-2017!

Thank you so much for your continued support and encouragement.

Your friendship has meant a lot to us.

Best Wishes!
