Christmas

This was such a wonderful Christmas week. We got to enjoy traditions we've held close to us, and we made new ones along the way. 

We started the week at my favorite tradition - the Christmas service at grace. 

We watched movies on Christmas Eve and made cookies for Santa. Real cookies - from scratch. The one time all year when I break out the rolling pin and my buddy in pittsburghs recipe. 

Christmas morning we were blessed. Our kids got wonderful things. We spent the morning/ day at brunch and dinner with Matt's family. And my parents came for a few days too. 

This season flew by but it was amazing. I am so thankful for the hope that Christmas brings. The baby that was born who grew to a perfect man. Who died for you and I to pave our way to heaven. To save us from our sin and give us the gift that Easter brings. 

We hope your Christmas was wonderful and that you had time to reflect on our Saviors birth!
