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

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!

    When a family member is on a difficult path, it is the whole family that walks that journey not only with them, but walks that journey in their own unique way.
