    Happy Holidays and Happy Birthday to Our Girls

    Dec 24, 2022 by Dan Mikesell AKA DrDan · 42 Comments

    Happy Holidays to Everybody, and Happy Birthday to our girls, Lilly and Molly. They were born on Christmas Eve, 2013. So hang the stockings by the chimney with care and have a Merry Christmas or a great and joyful holiday, no matter what holiday you are celebrating this season.

    I think this is one of my best pictures... ever. Look at those smiles.

    Remember to show everybody the grace, love, and joy in your heart.
