Holiday Recap

Hello, tender friends! I hope you’re staying safe in the storm if it’s hitting the part of the country where you live today! Our power has gone off a few times, so I’m going to make this brief in the hopes that I can send it off before losing internet again.

The candlelit service on Christmas Eve at church was magical. Seeing all the candles light up the sanctuary was beautiful, and the kids went on stage for a story time built into the service.

In keeping with the theme of candlelight, Anthony and I held hands across a candlelit table for a dinner out (alone!) to celebrate my 39th birthday.

And yes, I see that Anthony is wearing the same shirt in both photos. We’re parents…our wardrobe has gotten smaller year after year.

I was looking forward to getting back to our regular routine, but driving isn’t safe today, so we are housebound with high-protein snacks.

Jacob and Anthony have heroically shoveled the driveway and Jacob tells me that he has a plan to make “snow caterpillars.” He’s been up since 5:00 a.m. because he couldn’t get back to sleep because of his snow excitement. And while we’re tired, I know that you only get that kind of magic for a limited time in childhood, so we’re embracing it.

Thank you to the new subscribers! It’s such an honor to have you read along. I hope you are staying warm in your part of the country or your part of the world!
