A Very Merry Christmas

This year's Christmas was the start of many Christmas's Naaman and I will be spending as Mr & Mrs. Not only was this the first year we spent Christmas together, but it was my first year spending it away from my family. Luckily my family did a Christmas the weekend before, so it wasn't as hard being away from them during the this Holiday. Its so fun to know that soon Naaman and I will be creating new traditions for our family and I can hardly wait till that day comes. My Mom and Dad did such a great job making Christmas oh so special for us growing up....Putting cookies out for Santa, decorating a Christmas tree in our room, opening one present Christmas Eve, putting so much time and love into all the decorating, walking down stairs to such a magical site, Santa's present always unwrapped placed in front of the tree, and simply making Christmas all about family. I'm trilled to be able to take traditions from both of our childhoods and create memories for our family.

This year we spent Christmas with Naaman's family, but dearly missed Ryan, Mariah and Lil' Ash-Man. It was so fun to watch Eamon & Maeve Christmas morning and see all the excitement in their faces. It was a wonderful Holiday spent with amazing people, and of course eating too many sweets!














Canvas Painting

Cheers to craft time! Anna and I poured ourselves a nice glass of wine and got started on making canvas boards for the kids to paint on! A couple cuts, staples and sips later, it was time to paint! We loaded the tray with every color of the rainbow and got started on our masterpieces. We even got a surprise visit from Baby B
