We were fortunate enough to attend the "Jack and Jill" 2014 Cotillion at the Omni William Penn Hotel. It was a great event. The hotel is just beautiful this time of year and it was fun to dress up!


Of course, Christmas was all about the kids. We're fortunate enough that we are able to make their dreams come true. So, Christmas morning was a series of oohs, ahs, and squeals!

After all of the excitement, my men fell asleep happy and exhausted.
