Our First Nativity Reenactment

For our Family Home Evening the Monday before Christmas, we joined with some friends of ours at their home to do our first reenactment of the nativity. We've always wanted to play it out, but always fell short on characters. We need Mary, Joseph, shepherds, wise men, sheep, an angel... we never had quite as many people as we needed. This was the perfect opportunity for us!

Disney Hedbanz

One of my favorite things to give and get for birthday and Christmas presents is a good game. Since my family does game night every Sunday night, new games are even more welcome in our house. I love having a variety of games to choose from. Some games are more fun than others. But all games give us an excuse to have fun together as a family.

Merry Merry Christmas

Christmas at our house is always a pretty quiet affair. When I say quiet, I just mean that we don't have a lot of official plans. We don't go anywhere, and we don't have people come over. We open gifts, eat some yummy food, enjoy one another's company, and just bask in the grandness of the holiday.

Christmas Eve Traditions

My kids were counting down for Christmas Eve since Thanksgiving. We have a few fun countdowns in our house that they paid very specific attention to. We also have a giant calendar on the wall. They knew down to the day how long they had to wait for the big day to arrive.

Big Reveal!

When it comes to birth, I typically try to go as natural as possible. I opt for minimal intervention. I don't do pain meds or anything like that during birth. I just prefer it that way. All natural! Sometimes, however, I choose a little bit of modern technology to spice things up.

My Kids are So Goofy

I love them so much. 

First Haircut

It's always hard to cut my child's hair for the very first time. I love those soft silky baby locks. I love the loose curls. Kingston went through a few weeks of beautiful baby boy curls. Then, unfortunately, he got into the messy and scraggly hair look. That's when I finally had to take the step and give him his first haircut. Bittersweet indeed.
