WE DID IT!!!
I hope you each have a fantastic break. I hope you get to sleep late, binge watch that show you've been putting off because of time, read that book you been saving, and catch that moving you been dying to see. I hope you enjoy the wonder of the season with those who you love the most and for any of you with family visiting that you might not love the most....may there be enough eggnog to get you through.
I look forward to being away myself and then catching up with you in 2020 as we continue to make great things happen here at Lincoln for our kids!
