This is our 2nd Christmas in our home and we are finally settled in. Big life changes this year and we are excited to begin a new chapter in our lives....empty nesting! Our eldest daughter moved out almost two years ago. On November 8th our youngest daughter became engaged! It makes the holidays all that more special, her last Christmas living under our roof (she is a college student living at home still). We are so blessed to see her begin a new chapter in her life next summer. It was bittersweet decorating for Christmas this year. Fond memories of raising our girls and their childhoods came flooding back...so much fun, laughter and love especially at the holidays.
So much to look forward to in this next chapter. Her college graduation, wedding, and one day, hopefully in a few years (gasp) grand babies! So much to be thankful to God for this year, so many blessing. New friends & new family, so exciting. Now without further adieu here is the house all decked out for Christmas 2014.
