The holidays have really crept up on me this year, mostly because I was sick for the last week of November and the first two weeks of December.

I'm not sure if I've stated it clearly in any previous posts or not, but our neighborhood continues to be one of the things we've enjoyed most about our time in Belgium thus far.
