Sweater weather!!!!

we haven't really had a winter here this year, i mean seriously, we had 70 degree weather here on Christmas eve!! but still, I HAD to buy some sweaters, What is winter without them?
I heard there was an early-bird sale the day after Christmas for sweaters 70% off, so you bet your bottom dollar that i got out of bed quite early in order to seize that opportunity!!


I have a sweater stash now!! along with a dress, some mint jeans, and pastel shorts...yay!!!

God rewarded me with a chilly afternoon to enjoy my pillage, so off we went to seize the day!!!

My favorite new sweater accompanied by my awkward expression

life is like photography, focus on whats important and a beautiful image is made

warmth





trouble




chill

ugh, thunder thighs..

The season of giving

Tis the season!! 


The Christmas season brings excitement, but we needn't get too wrapped up in the receiving gifts and eating cookies nonsense.. we must remember the true meaning of Christmas. 
God GAVE us his son on that night in Bethlehem,
 the wise-men GAVE Jesus gifts,
 Jesus GAVE up his life in heaven for one of suffering,
 and finally he GAVE his life for our salvation....
see the trend here? No?
 let me GIVE you a hint....



Tis the season of giving. 



I tried my best to get into the giving spirit this year.


 Helping pack boxes for families who may no be able to afford Christmas dinner can be a great way to give back to your community. Its also a lot of fun!!













Also, not pictured is adopt a family, the look on the kids faces when they received all those presents didn't even top the gasp of excitement when we brought in the groceries.





I decided to mostly hand make all my gifts this year...It made it all the more special!!!


I gave my great-grandma a jar that i had made into a pin cushion that she could keep some sewing supplies in. 

I I got even more creative with the other gifts, I decided to try Crayon art!!!


















for the last gift I recycled an old gift bag and stuffing and made them into wrapping paper and bow..



cute!!! i can completely 100% say that i love giving on Christmas waaay more than receiving .. try it, You'll thank me later!

Home for the holidays


I love Christmas time. Its full of sweet things; from candy, to family everything is bright and cheery. its perfect.

the beginning of December:

putting up the tree
and

decorating the house









we never get white Christmases in Texas.....

so we make our own.




Christmas eve:
had a little photo-shoot, I love it!!!!
(and yes i am in shorts and a tee shirt on Christmas eve...barefoot even)


I met some awesome people

and started a friendship



Family

what matters most



we opened our annual eve pajamas





and said goodnight to the stars as visions of sugarplums danced in our heads...


Christmas Morning:





mmmmmmm





This Christmas was a lot different considering. We stayed at my grandmas with all of our cousins and had a huge Christmas morning!! It made me realize how important it is to keep family close.


Merry Christmas!
