Our Christmas Celebrations

Another “first” we couldn’t wait to celebrate: CHRISTMAS.

I always had dreams of watching our child open his/her first gift. Getting up Christmas morning and celebrating Christmas as a family. Telling our child about what Christmas really is about. A baby that came to save the world.

And now those dreams have come true. Every single one of them.

What a special Christmas it was. A Christmas we will always remember!

We were blessed to be able to travel home for Christmas, which is always so special. Catching up with family, friends, and spending Christmas together as a family of 3.

Michigan weather consisted of 60-some degree weather with rain and a rainbow, days before Christmas

Mazy is so intrigued by the grandfather clock

Waking up Christmas morning – someone is a little excited to open her gift from mom and dad!

Mazy is determined to get that wrapping paper off!

Her new Sit to Stand Toy – someone is a little proud

I LOVE doing puzzles!

Mazy is obsessed with dogs – even Clifford!

We couldn’t be more thankful for our families! And most of all, we couldn’t be more thankful for our Savior, who God sent down in the form of a baby, a human, to walk the life we walk, and then to die for us so we could be set free! What more could we ask for – to be able to spend eternity in perfection, with our Father!

Around Our Home

Instead of a “This Week In Pictures” post every week, I would like to start something new and now call it my “Around The Home” post. If you have ever wondered what a day in the life of Kristin looks like, hopefully these posts will give you just a glimpse! Being fall, that means it…

Around The Home – Part 2

As much as I LOVE sharing pics from vacations and so forth (like I did yesterday of my family’s vacation), it also isn’t reality, so I thought I’d add to my “Around The Home” post by adding what’s been going on in our everyday life too. Dan and I decided that we could be professional…

Preparing for Black Friday

I sometimes do not know what to think about Black Friday. For weeks, there have been commercials about when certain deals are starting for weeks. In fact, many stores have started their “Black Friday” sales at the beginning of the month! Then I wonder, why do we make such a big deal about Black Friday?…

Around The Home

With the release of my book, I find that I’m a little behind on my “regular” blogging schedule! Of course I am beyond delighted to share my life with you through my book, but one thing I want to continue to do is share about my life through this blog. I personally find enjoyment and…

Around The Home

What an exciting past week we’ve had, visiting Minnesota! We left last Tuesday around 11am and made it to Minnesota in good time, and arrived by 8:30pm their time! That left just enough room for Dan to go to the fireworks, while Mazy and I stayed back so that she could go to bed at…

Mazy Grace’s Newborn Pictures

Having newborn pictures taken, is something I had dreamed of for years, but never thought would come to fruition. Little did we know that one day, God would bless us with the opportunity to have pictures of our child taken. When I look at these pictures, I can’t help but think about the journey God…
