A White Christmas

For Christmas this year we spent a weekend with my husband’s family and 10 days at my parents’ house.  We felt so blessed and loved.  Here are some highlights of our white Christmas.

We always have a nice brunch on Christmas morning.  This year my mom got some inspiration from Pinterest and made her center piece out of mason jars, evergreens, and candles.  She also made these adorable candy cane name place holders with my niece.

This was Noah’s first Christmas!

I had a hard time getting a “good” picture of Grace in front of the tree, but I suppose this one is even better than what I had in mind.

I had an even harder time getting a good picture of Grace and Noah together.  Can’t you just feel the love?  Maybe there is a little bit too much love.  HaHa!

The prize for coolest gift wrap idea goes to my brother-in-law.  Now I want to give someone a book just so I can do this!

It was fun to have a lot of snow for Christmas this year.  My hometown is so flat that they created a man-made hill just for sledding.  We went sledding with Grace and noticed a “Sled At Your Own Risk” sign at the top of the hill.  My brother-in-law joked that only in Ohio do hills come with warning labels!

I hope you had a great Christmas!
