Christmas Day 2017

Christmas was so sweet this year! It’s hard to believe how much has changed. We had just found out that we were having another GIRL around Christmas last year. It felt like life was in an upheaval. It was beautiful for me to understand the reality of the Prince of Peace we celebrate in a deeper way this year. Our morning was pretty simple, with simple gifts (some are even old handmedowns -eek!) but the kids will never know unless they read this one day – and I doubt they will care! My mom always did such an amazing job making everything about Christmas morning so magical, and I love trying to do the same for my girls with the presentation of things.

Her joy is my joy!

Evie wore this astronaut helmet we gave to Elle because she didn’t like it – oops!

Playing the piano we gave to Elle her first Christmas, and refitting it to Evie now!

I have such a great helpers! Ha!

Lights of my life – what a sweet year! Here are a few from Christmas Eve too.

This last photo is the best ever! lol!
