Christmas

Sometimes I feel lost on this little space.
Lost.
What am I even saying?
More lost.
And sometimes embarrassed. 
But someone told me to just "keep writing"
So "keep writing" I will.

Christmas was beautiful. And magical. And perfect.
This year we decided absolutely no traveling on Christmas day. 
We had talked about it in the past and last year we were finally done. 

Christmas Eve we went over to my husband's grandparents.


Their beautiful tree.


Addie Boo Bear and me {Yes I wore my beautiful SheDoesJustice Wintery scarf}


Boo opening her new Elmo. She was so excited to see it, even though we had to force her to sit and open gifts.


Olivia with her huge doodle pad from her Uncle Steffen and Aunt Sierra.


This boy received LOTS of legos for Christmas. Like seriously. SO.MUCH.


And this one of the toddler capturing a cupcake


After a lovely time there with family.
Food. Love. Conversation. Gifts. Bingo. Hugs.

Then we came home.
Opened Christmas jammies gift.



Christmas morning was early. 4:50am early.
But so wonderful.
Doug and and I are so beyond blessed with healthy, happy children. 










Peace. Comfort. Love. Joy.
We experienced it all.

And now it's time for preparations for 2013.
Goal planning.
The light of a brighter future.
More accountability. More laughter. More fullness. More living.
I already blogged mine here

How was your Christmas?
What about goals? Do you like to start the New Year with goals?

  1. Oh my goodness! Bless you're heart for getting up before 5AM. I have a hard time before 7. Such a beautiful day and so great that you stayed home.

    I too feel lost in "the blog world" but I decided to write like an open vulnerable diary and if all else fails I can see my kids and heart grow over the years. I love reading your' though!

Influence Link Up

Hello if you don't know me I'm Katie I {obviously} blog here and you can find my instagram & twitter ---> Two things in my bag: 1. My cute little notebooks I found at Target and a variety of pens. I love pens. No seriously, you should see my pen + sharpie box.  2. My phone. I am a HUGE picture taker. I love taking pictures and using all the fun picture apps and posting pictures. If you love taking pictures come find me, we can have some instagram fun!!!  Two things I'm looking forward to: 1. Hugs & coffee with friends. Friends I've never technically met. Friends that I will never forget, that will be hard to leave, that just get me. 2. Learning. Learning more about who I am. About the amazing way God created me as a woman. Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

Today is the Influential Women Blog Link up. If you are a part of the Influence Network -- get on it!!! Honestly at first I didn't think I would link up, me, influential?! I don't think so. But I am. God uses me daily and will continue to use me.  - - - - - - - - -  Three Things About Myself: 1. I love Taco Night. If you already know me personally you would know this about me. But seriously I love it! And let me tell you I can put some tacos back. Our best friends and us have actually started Taco Tuesday so on Tuesdays we make tacos. Now we're just at a point of trying to make it a healthier Taco Tuesday. 2. I love music so much. I love to dance. I love to sing. I love to be surrounded by music. If you stop by my house there's a 95% chance you will hear music being played. I love Pandora because I can just put on whatever station for the mood I'm in.  Current favorite Pandora stations: Kari Jobe (I don't think that'll ever change), Jerem
