CHRISTMAS... PEACE

.

This year was a different Christmas... we stayed home a little more... enjoyed simple things more like baking cookies and just being together doing puzzles... we shopped for family and I watched kid generosity~ (not that they have mastered it ... but when Christopher walked in the kitchen with Nate's gift behind his back and said "look what I got for you Nate... you don't know what it is" my heart melted...)

.

Chris and I stuck to tradition and spent Christmas Eve wrapping presents, hiding new bikes, and watching White Christmas (twice)... these Santas went to bed at 5!

.

So, sip some coco and snuggle in for the rest of the winter~ this is going to be an amazing new year with new challenges and new growth... love to all...

.

Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!

Luke 2:14
