Christmas Morning | 2016

Not intentionally themed, but somehow our Christmas morning included a lot of barns. I guess since we didn't buy a farm this year after looking at several we seemed to have brought the farm to us instead (: 

We enjoyed a sweet and simple Christmas morning, just our little family, with a grateful and excited toddler. Cookies for breakfast of course, just to add to the fun. And we hope you enjoyed just as much joy with your families as well. We are forever thankful for the significance of this holiday and the blessings and purpose it offers to us year round. 

This year has been redemptive and full of growth and we look forward to 2017 with hope and expectancy for what God has for our family. 

Thanksgiving weekend | 2016

Full bellies and such full hearts after a Thanksgiving holiday with our tribe! We are grateful for this life and those that we are blessed to claim as family and friends. From sweet snail mail and gifts that make me cry, to Friendsgiving with best buds, to sugar for breakfast, favorite dishes and shared recipes, to walks through the woods, to golden hour moments with family - we remain so very thankful. This year has held emptiness, but has us fixed on the simple joys of today and the hope and purpose of all of our tomorrows.
