I love this time of year.
The air is chilly and crisp and there are so many things to celebrate! I love how magical the air feels during the holiday season!
We took our pictures back in September and I can’t wait to send out our Christmas card to share my favorite image by Courtney Christenson. I am obsessed with this picture. No joke.

The Girl With The Smile 
I love walking through the snow in the evening with the soft crunch beneath my snuggly warm boots….. catching snowflakes in my mouth….. smelling wood smoke from a nearby chimney……… making snow angels……… coming inside, changing into toasty pj’s and warming up my insides with hot cocoa topped with mini marshmellows. That’s my favorite part of this time of year. Ah….. memories!
My favorite part of the holiday season is reading Christmas books with my kiddos while we snuggle under a fuzzy blanket!
Jesus of course:) but we love the Christmas music and the decorations! And any excuse to drink some yummy hot chocolate
My favorite part of the holiday season is experiencing it all with my kids. I love teaching them about Jesus & why we celebrate. And I also love establishing traditions with them and making special memories.
Spending time with family, eating delicious food. And I’m sooooo looking forward to our first Christmas with our baby!
I love receiving Christmas and Holiday cards from all my friends!
It makes me feel like a grown up.
My favorite thing about Christmas is hanging out in my pajamas most of the day and getting to hang out with family.
My favorite thing is time with family remembering what is most important in life: God’s love and grace.
My favorite part about Christmas is spending time with family and creating traditions now that I have kids of my own!
I love being home with my family during the Holidays – baking, reading good books, listening to music, etc. We love acting out the Nativity with the kids all draped in towels and sheets. Simple things.
I love baking during this season and lighting up the fire the few times it’s cold enough for that!
I enjoy our family traditions like baking with grandma, giving gifts and food to people in need, seeing Santa with the boys, decorating our little Christmas tree, going to Horizon North County’s Living Nativity, celebrating the season at Quail Gardens and celebrating Jesus!!! Merry Christmas!!!
My favorite part of the holiday season is all the smells. Whether it be from the delicious foods to pumpkin and mistletoe scented candles or the wonderful aromas of cold mornings. Love love love!
I love the time off work! and the holiday cups from Starbucks. and Black Friday shopping. and Christmas songs. and spending time with my family.
