Christmas Wreath

Ali | November 28, 2008

I was setting up all of my Christmas decorations today and I wanted a Christmas wreath.  I went to the dollar store to pick up something else and I had an idea.  I bought all the stuff to make my own wreath.  When I got home I started wrapping the garland arond the frame.  It [...]

Alonzo’s First Thanksgiving
