Christmas Home 2018
Merry Christmas and welcome to our holiday home! I have shared our Christmas decorated home for many years on this blog and while I love sharing it each year, I also share it so I can remember what I did when I am decorating the next year. More so than any other year, Christmas snuck up on me this year and being out of town the weekend before Christmas didn’t help my plans of getting this posted before the big day. I did however get a live tour posted on Instagram. If you missed it, I saved it to my highlights under “Christmas Home“. I love blogging and sharing on…
Baker Meets Santa (Twice) 2018
Well, well, well, Santa pictures, we meet again. If you remember last year, Santa pictures did not go in our favor.

We had been talking about him for days and she said she was excited to see him.
Thanksgiving 2018
Popping in for a quick Thanksgiving recap! Cory and I have rotated between our two families for holidays like Thanksgiving and Easter for many years now and this year, it was his families year. It’s always sad to miss one side of our families but much less stressful than the years we tried to make it to multiple dinners. With a child, that seems nearly impossible! This year, we had the added bonus that his mom was in town for Thanksgiving so we got to celebrate both sides of his family, which hasn’t happened in a few years (we did divide this in to two days, though).
Halloween 2018
Before Cory and I had Baker, we never dressed up for Halloween. We participated in trunk or treats with our church but typically would wear like a football jersey and call it a day. For Baker’s first Halloween we did a Snow White theme and I think Cory and I enjoyed dressing up more than Baker! Last year, we had only been home from Rwanda for less than 48 hours so Baker was a bee (which we had in the closet) and that’s about all we did. So, when our church announced that we would be helping with a trunk or treat again this year, Cory really wanted to dress up…
