Christmas 2013

Merry Christmas to all!!!

CHRISTMAS EVE I had big plans of baking a birthday cake for Jesus with Elliott on Christmas Eve, so we could throw a good ol’ fashioned birthday party on Christmas Day. And…it for sure didn’t happen this year :). Add it to the list of things to look forward to for next year!! We made… Continue reading Christmas 2013

The Christmas Count Up!

Oh my goodness...is he MY kid, OR WHAT?!! HAHAHA!!!!

 WHAT a FUN, FUN, FUN Christmas season this was!! Elliott was finally old enough to justify putting in some effort towards the Christmas countdown and the kids and I just had a blast. I kept it ULTRA simple and it was all fun with no stress. Next year I’ll try and solidify my activities more… Continue reading The Christmas Count Up!

It’s Tweet to be ONE!

Happiest 1st birthday, Baby Bean...what a JOY to celebrate you!!!!

There are few things more fun in life than celebrating the life of your children. Yes, I DO celebrate them every day of their lives…but once a year, a super special date rolls around, and I get to go a little above-and-beyond. My baby girl only turns one once!!! A few good friends flapped on… Continue reading It’s Tweet to be ONE!

No presents or filled Easter egg baskets for us this year…and I made a rule for myself: If I’m ever more panicked over having… Continue reading Easter 2013

Feliz Navidad

My favorite. You can only see 3/4 of Elliott's face and Selah's not smiling...but still, I think it's perfect. I love my Christmasy babies!

Ahh, Christmastime… does it get more wonderful than twinkle lights, the smell of pine trees, buying special gifts for the ones you love, singing carols and coming up with creative ways to acknowledge the birthday of our Savior? Christmastime…simply the best! We decided not to travel for Christmas, and although it was a tough decision… Continue reading Feliz Navidad

The Day That Selah Came Part II

WE DID IT.

The Day That Selah Came–Part II Click here to read Part I It’s amazing how when something goes right, you realize how wrong it was before. In retrospect, I have even more confidence that the c-section was exactly the right call with Elliott. I know it may sound crazy, but despite the facts, there was always this teeny,… Continue reading The Day That Selah Came Part II
