HD Two Years.

{credits}

I was reminded by a friend that I never did HD's Two Year page (I did a similar one last year). And I had a free afternoon, with a clean house, so I did it. I LOVE how it turned out, but even more I loved going back through HD's pictures from the last year. Time goes by way too quickly.

Catching up on my Blessings.

I haven't posted my blessings pages in a long time. I've been doing them here and there, but not posting. So here they are...weeks 15-18.

Week 15: Jesus Christ's Birth
During the holidays, I kept thinking about the birth of our Savior and what His coming to this earth meant for me personally. Of course, it is my greatest blessing, for it leads to all other blessings.

Week 16: New Addition

Of course this has been on my mind. It's on my mind all the time. And what an awesome blessing to be enjoying right now! I love it!{credits}

Week 17: Reading

This one has been on my mind a lot this year, as I've set a new goal to read more. I've really gotten back into choosing reading over other hobbies and pastimes. It's been awesome! Now when you see me, I have my nose in a book.{credits}

Week 18: Date Night
Matt and I had such a fun date last night. I'm embarassed to admit how long it's been since we've been on a real date, just the two of us. Let's just say, it's been awhile. But I am so glad we got the chance. Even as low-key and "boring" as it could be considered, it was just what we needed!

Okay, I'm all caught up. I'll try to be better about blogging my pages!

Another Christmas page.

52 Blessings: Week 14

My blessing this week is my family. With my brother's return from his LDS mission to Paris, France we were ALL together. All 27 of us! It was awesome. We couldn't remember the last time we were all together...and sadly we don't know when it will happen again.

I absolutely love my family. Always have. Always will. Even though it was just a few hours, I loved that we were all together again. I love that we are all back in the same country. I love that EJ brings out the best in all of us. I love my parents for loving each other and teaching us to love. And for raising us to be friends. I love that my sisters have all married amazing men. I love my nieces and nephews and the wonderful cousins they are to my little HD. I really am blessed to be part of such an amazing family!

Christmas Angel.

I just had to scrap this picture of HD. Her little grin captures so much of her personality. And of course I had to use Breeza's awesome kit (Candied Christmas) again!

52 Blesssings: Week 13

I know it's Tuesday, but I just got this one done. I'm still trying to decide what I think of it. But I really do think it's a blessing to have a tree. I have loved seeing HD's excitement at the lights and bows. And the smell is divine. It's a simple tree and we love it that way!{credits}

52 Blessings: Week 11

I'm catching up with last week. I thought about doing pictures of my 30 November Blessings, but decided just to do the list. I liked the simplicity of the page.

I really believe that gratitude is a blessing. The opportunity to step back and recognize what we have in our lives blesses us and those around us. I loved keeping track during November and seeing how blessed I really am....even in the little things.
