Tomorrow Christmas break begins, and so this most likely will be our last post of 2021! When I have a new baby it feels like the year is one long blurry month. I sort of stumbled hard into December and am really looking forward to a time of rest with my kids. When I look at these photos I see so many changes from last year, an evolving home that has given us a place to adjust to a new city and new life changes. It’s been a few years since we have done a holiday home tour!

Today is the day we are starting our next big home project! We knew right going into purchasing this home, that the first big renovation project would be the kitchen!

A lot has happened around this kitchen table in December. I didn’t set high expectations this year, and just decided on a few activities we could do as a family that were linked with either advent, family traditions, or act of service. Here are a few that really resonated with our kids I thought I would pass along…

We made a lot of progress in the girls’ room over the last few weeks, so here thought it was time for a quick update!
We have been winding down over here and welcoming the chance to use these short winter days for rest and renewal. These children make me feel like I get the chance to relive that childhood magic of Christmas all over again. Each year, no matter how challenging, gets to end with the holidays….when we are reminded of the gift of each other. When the simplicity of that first Christmas asks you to make room in your heart for more love, forgiveness, and compassion. I’m grateful for that chance.
Those cute little faces that have minor anxiety when mom goes to the mailbox without them. This pic ended up landing on the Washington Post! Before we sign off for the year, I wanted to welcome you all into our home for a cup of coffee or cocoa;) So how about at least a glimpse of what’s been going on around here…
I don’t think those 5 noses pressed against the glass will soon forget that unexpected southern snow fall!

I love how many of you who visit each day are from different countries and different faiths! I appreciate that from time to time you graciously allow me to share tidbits of mine. This season of Advent before Christmas is one I look forward to all year because it is filled with traditions, preparation, hope, and the chance to start anew. I wanted to share a few of these advent traditions with you in case you were also hoping to find renewal in this season on your own or with your family.
