Christmas Music after Christmas

I start to listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving.. or the day AFTER (I have not decided what I like best).  However, after Christmas I start to miss Christmas.. every year it passes too quickly no matter how much time I try to take to enjoy it.  So, here is a Christmas song from Harvest that I keep listening to!  They have more if you like this one :)


All the Poor and Powerless from Harvest Bible Chapel on Vimeo.



Mike & I are very grateful for all we have received not only this Christmas but this past year God has blessed us beyond what we could imagine/pray for! We are both employed, enjoy our jobs, have each other, our health, our families, a home, and a church family that we continue to grow and learn from! Often at this time of year people go the route of "new years resolutions" but what I like better is looking back on the previous year and pick 2/3 lessons God has taught me...

Stay tuned!

Christmas :)

Mikes & My Christmas Season in photos..


I decided to be a bit crafty and make Santa Hat trail mix for gifts this year :)


Our tree :)



The only time in December that it has snowed so far :(  I love snow in December, on Christmas Eve & Morning... but this year it just did not come.. it doesn't look like snow anytime soon either..oh well! (they say this will be the worst winter yet.. are we in for another 2 footer??)


One of the pretty houses in the Sauganash nieghborhood.  We had dinner with Mikes Grandma Jo and she took us through the neighborhood afterwards.  I LOVED it! We took Kyla back a couple weeks later!


Our Home


Just about 1/2 of the sweets we received this season... 


Us on Christmas morning!


A secret about me.. I love stuffed animals.  Im not sure 100% why!  Anyway, Mike is the BEST husband because he puts up with my ridiculous love for them! Best Christmas gift!


We got to stop by a manger with live animals.. reminded us of the first Christmas, the reason we all celebrate - Jesus Birth!


Katie & Jared (Mikes sister & her husband) came in for Christmas this year.  This is their second child, Ellyanah! This was our first time meeting her :) She is adorable! She is only 2 1/2 months.. and the next time we see her will be in Florida when she is 9 months old!  It was great to spend time with her :)
