We had a great Christmas this year! I absolutely love getting to spend Christmas Eve with Josh's family and then Christmas day with mine. We actually got to spend a lot of time with my family because we got snowed in at their house..12" to be exact! This was the first white Christmas that I can ever remember..it was beautiful minus the power outage. However, mom and dad had a generator that powered the whole house, so we stayed there from Tuesday to Friday! That was my first time to stay the night at my parents since I've gotten married..which has almost been 8 years..wow! it was so much fun and I'm so thankful that God has blessed me with amazing in laws and amazing parents!
Tilly and Micah patiently waiting to open gifts...they asked about every 10 minutes if it was time yet :) Oh to be a kid again!
Sisters!! Another big plus to the holidays...Keeli comes home from Texas! I miss her so much, but we had a blast while she was here..can't wait to go visit her in College Station..hopefully in the next month or so.
Fun in the Snow!
Itty Bitty snowman number 1
I could just eat those cheeks up of Brandts! Thankful for two sweet and handsome men in my life! :)
My beautiful blued eyed baby girl!
Snowman number 2! much better this time!
I'm not the only one that can't get enough of those chubby cheeks ;) Melts my heart.
We had a short photo shoot at Josh's parents house Christmas Eve.
Josh's Family!! Even Ryder was there! He is 6 months old and weighs over 9 lbs now...God is AMAZING!
Christmas cookies that she made for Santa...Micah was so much fun this year and she had a blast opening Brandts presents..we kept telling her to say thank you so much that when she handed other people their presents she would tell them to say "thank you"..she wouldn't let you forgot to say thank you if she had to say too! That girl is a hilarious.
Sorry for the long post, but a lot has happened since Thanksgiving. Hopefully you all had a great Christmas and remembered to celebrate our Saviors birth!! I think we are going to start a tradition next year where we make a birthday cake for Jesus instead of Christmas cookies for Santa.
Excited about 2013..2012 was a crazy year of change for our family...which if you know me, I'm not a fan of change..But God's plan is always so much better than what I would choose. I've gotten to stay at home with my kids this year, start my design business, and Josh became the youth pastor at a church just minutes from our house. (which our new church family has been amazing, we are so blessed to be able to serve there) The roller coaster ride of this year was full of so many blessings and tears, all of which has grown my faith in the Lord. It's never a dull life if you're trying to walk by FAITH! May you all have a wonderful 2013!!!
