Our Christmas Celebrations

December 30, 2015April 4, 2017

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!

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!

D&K Christmas Pictures

The sun was shining warmly this past Saturday. I knew it was time for our Christmas picture – right then and there. Out the tri-pod came and in came pics of Dan and Kristin. I am so blessed have this man by my side. I had thought for two seconds having the picture of…

Around the Home

So I feel like I just said “Hello Fall” in a recent post, where this week I could’ve said “Hello Summer, Again!” This week was a surprise gift of warmth with cool nights, and everything summer and fall, mixed into one. All before it goes tumbling downhill in temperature :). Needless to say, we are…

Around The Home

I think we have experienced the extremes in weather this past week! Snow and then the warm sun, but we love it! Make the most of it, right? Okay, not going to lie, it’s nice to be able to not bundle up to go outside though. I will say that. This past week we capitalized…

Life as of Late…

It surely has been a long time since I have last updated this, but I suppose that means a lot has been going on since last time. Since the last update was before Christmas, I will start off by saying our Christmas time was truly blessed. What a blessing family is. We were able to…

Around the Home

How are you all doing? Dan and I have often said that even though this is such a crazy time, we also couldn’t be more thankful for it. We sure have spent a lot of time together, but it’s been wonderful. We’ve been able to do things we normally wouldn’t do, like finish concrete around…

One Day At A Time

What a week it has been! First of all, thank you all for the prayers, messages, and emails! We are incredibly blessed to be part of the family of God and be offered so much love, care, and support! This past week hasn’t been anything like we ever imagined, yet it was exactly what God…
