Merry Christmas: Round One

In the past, Christmas has been an absolute whirlwind of madness. We would try to see all of our families on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. It just got to be where even though we were trying to be with everyone, each stop felt rushed and insincere. Our eyes were constantly on the clock, thinking about the next stop, not able to enjoy the family in the present. In the back of our minds, we knew this would only become more challenging as you boys grow.

This year, we have changed things up and will be able to spend more time with each family. Yesterday, we spent Christmas with Daddy's dad's side of the family. We will see them again on Christmas Eve morning, but some of our out of town family will be gone by then. So, we had a mid-week pizza party! It was so fun watching you play with your cousins and interact together. (Wiley, you were a little more focused on the dancing Minnie you immediately claimed and didn't want to let go of her!)



I so enjoy this time of year - making memories and sharing the love of Christ with friends and family.
