Our Christmas Celebrations

2 Comments
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!

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!

    It’s pretty crazy to think we have now been back in Michigan for a month now (though one week was spent up north). It sure has been a hectic 4 weeks, but we look at how the transition has gone, what we have learned, what we have accomplished, and we just see God’s guiding hand…

    This past week has been one for the books. I NEVER expected spending the entire week at U of M, but it was just how it was meant to be. And I see God’s hand in it, knowing I couldn’t do life at home. It was where I had to be. I will spare you…

    How are you feeling the week after Christmas? Do you feel like it’s a letdown this week? Do you feel you missed the point of Christmas because you got caught up in the hussle and bussle? Yesterday there was a customer at the store that I was talking to about this whole subject. He feels…

    Sweet Mazy Grace, you are FIVE! You are incredibly thrilled to be a whole hand! This was the first time you were actually excited for me to take your yearly picture and couldn’t wait to choose something to wear. You have grown in every way this past year, not only in height, but even more…

    Loving the warm and spring/summer like weather here in Minnesota! That means we are outside almost all day. This past week we decided to make the hole where a tree once was, into a sandbox. When we walk past the back door, Mazy always points outside, to that sandbox. She ends up in there sometimes…
