We had an absolutely amazing December. Tons of Christmas fun, laughs and celebrating. And some new makeup for Mama that put an extra pep in her step.
I made time to do a special Christmas activity with both girls, which is super fun! I took Becca on a special Christmas train ride with friends (although the roads were bad, we were late, and missed the train, BUT it still was really fun!).
And Brinley and I ran a 5k, we intended to run a 2k but Brinley insisted on going the full distance! She's a trooper!
Both Matt and I have said this has been the BEST Christmas we've ever had. The kids are at such a fun age.
We are so very, very blessed and grateful for this joyous season of life. Thank you Lord!
