Christmas Time Again

I love how this time of year can change people's hearts. It's a time full of laughter, family fun, and remembering our Savior and his birth. I've loved not being out and about with all the bustle of holiday shopping. I've enjoyed putting our home together since the move and just getting out our simple Christmas decorations out.

Ashlyn has really enjoyed getting the tree up and can't wait for Santa to come. This year I've put more of an effort into baking sugar cookies with her and just teaching her about Christmas and instilling in her that it's not just about presents and Santa; although, those are fun things to anticipate.

This year we will be having our very own Christmas dinner in our home. Looking forward to the challenge but also just the joy that it is to have a home and that we are starting our own traditions now that Ashlyn is a little older and starting to understand what the different holidays are. Hoping everyone out there is enjoying this special time of the year and reflecting on our Savior

Our home

Here are some pictures of the house. I haven't gotten my pictures up on the walls yet but besides that and a few touch up painting jobs we are basically set until summer time. It is a 2 bath home even though I only took a picture of the master bath.
