December is Upon Us~

I am always in awe that December comes... why? It always does. Right on time with all the excitement, gatherings, festivities, and day-to-day things. It doesn't matter how soon we get our tree up or the gifts wrapped, December...

I am always in awe that December comes... why? It always does. Right on time with all the excitement, gatherings, festivities, and day-to-day things. It doesn't matter how soon we get our tree up or the gifts wrapped, December flies for everyone, and it's so important we slow down and count every single blessing of the season.

Like a little one that spends the mornings with us now, filling our house with delightful smiles and baby things. She's just as sweet as she looks~

These two worked diligently to organize the spices so they are easier to find and use. I now love this spice tower more than I did (alphabetical don't you know)~

We are trying to work Leilei out of a morning nap, but she's still hanging on to it for the time being. Another blessing of December is reading all the Advent/Christmas books we have AND working on a puzzle in our spare time~

We are doing the basics through the month with a few extras like this beautiful Nativity paired with beautiful books~

Nothing is more beautiful than this addition to our watercolor journals~

We LOVE all the books and music that come with Christmas~

We love reading all the Cranberry books and making the recipes... EC's love language with her little helped in tow~

Like I said, with her little helper in tow~ ?

Cranberry cookies and a Christmas puzzle by the tree~

More baby faces, Christmas books, and embroidery projects~

For festivities, Scott and I hosted not one but TWO parties... one for neighbors and the other for Millstone. We had a wonderful caterer and boy was it a feast~

There is not much I love more than a full of house of people enjoying time together. We are so blessed to be building with Millstone Homes! We have been so thankful for the amazing provision for our family~

I sure miss my S&L and adore it when I get photos of them. Fridays around here are pretty much office time which means everyone is working on their Chromebook with various things they are studying~
