Hopefully you had a beautiful and blessed Christmas holiday! Three days after Christmas and I am just now slowing down to catch my breath before a weekend of weddings (we have two to attend!), bowl games, and of course wonderful New Years celebrations. I cannot ever remember a Christmas as perfect as ours has been.
It wasn’t about the gifts (although our children were thrilled with Santa), but instead about taking time to savor each moment we had with those we love. From a weekend getaway to the Biltmore house in North Carolina the weekend before Christmas with dear friends to making special time to celebrate the season with all of our family there could have been no better holiday.
I truly can’t describe all of the passion, warmth, and love, but maybe these few pictures will give you a glimpse of the joy in our lives.
