Family Movie Night :: A Hobbit Party

When I told my mom that I was going to have my husband’s family over for Christmas she offered to give me my Nana’s coffee mugs. At first, I turned them down, as we are not big coffee drinkers and I prefer to drink out of my cherished personalized photo mugs anyway. But then I...
