Christmas Re-Cap and Recipe Round Up
I have been a TERRIBLE blogger lately, but with good reason… I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my family – and that IS what your supposed to do this time of year, right? Here’s a Instagram version of our Christmas:
Christmas Eve:
(Bacon)
(Bacon Egg n’ Cheese)
(Hubs was still hungry – how bout some cookie dough ice cream? yes, for breakfast)
(Christmas Eve Beer Brewing)
(Christmas Eve Service w/ Kate)
(PJ PARTY!)
(Hello first Polar ever!)
(Most creative gift… Aprons from my in-laws!)
(Yummy tea!!)
(Maddie making sure we were taking her with us to O-Town)
We had a wonderful Christmas and time of reflection on the many blessings we have… the greatest being our Savior Jesus Christ. Hope everyone’s holiday was special filled with love, laughter, and family!
Note: I’m in NC for my cousins wedding, so regular posting will resume MONDAY! (YAY!)
