Posted on December 25, 2018

My family always gathered at Mom's house for Christmas Eve. I think it started from having large sections of my Dad's family to visit on Christmas Day, but the tradition continued my whole life, until even now with our best friends here in Denver. Christmas…

Note from Aimee: This year marks the 12th anniversary of my father-in-law's death. I didn't know it, but my husband Bryan has been writing a letter to him for a while. When I read it, I cried. He graciously allowed me to share it here…

I have worked with these guys as a designer, and used their site both as an organizer and a volunteer and I love how they help me stay on track.
