our christmas vacation

bub-hub, raider and i had a splendid time on our christmas vacation adventure.

raider is king of the road.

 we were blessed to be able to spend time with both of our families over the break. 

nothing beats family time.
especially when family time involves watching movies and
eating yummy christmas goodies in your sweatpants.
we went on long walks, enjoyed yummy peppermint lattes from starbucks, and ate a few two many fajitas. can't beat it.

bub-hub and i feel so blessed.
nothing is more refreshing than being surrounded by loving friends and family, and after almost two weeks of goodness, our hearts are officially full.
now, time to gear back up for the real world and a brand new year.

how was your christmas break?

a candlelight tradition

for as long as i can remember,

my family has spent christmas eve attending a candlelight service.

different families take turns standing at the front of the church reading pieces of the christmas story and the musicians sing beautiful christmas songs.

at the end of the service,

everyone lights their candle while we all sing silent night.

it's so beautiful and so peaceful.

the perfect way to remember the true meaning of season.

 

do you have a chrismas eve tradition?
