Love my sis (in-law) can you tell?

Family picture time. Again. 

To recap - Christmas was fun this year. It was also hectic, and loud, and fast, and sweet. It was mostly very different from all the other Christmases we had. Having our own baby and two more on my family's side, Christmas Eve was nothing short of exciting (to say the least). The plan was to let babies open the presents, feed and put them to sleep so adults could have a nice sit down dinner. That didn't happen. Nobody wanted to sleep and everyone was up. Christmas Day was spent at my in-laws house and it was nice. Festive lunch, opening of presents and sitting by the fireplace until late at night. After the much needed break from blogging I'm ready to start the year, with some changes and goals in mind. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas!

 

If there is anything I've learned is that life is just too short not to enjoy it. God send us His Son and we celebrate this day with cheer and lots of commotion but how many stop and remember His name?

With the abundance of food, family gatherings, pretty lights and awesome presents, don't forget to give God the glory that belongs to Him. 

Be thankful.

Spend time with your family.

Be gracious.

Focus on important things. 

Be kind.

Don't worry about the trivial.

Be loving.

Have fun. 

Enjoy the awesome season that celebrates God's love.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas!
