Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was so fun and a traditional Kirkman celebration. Gary made these amazing clocks for our family. We sang Christmas carols in the back of the wagon pulled by Grandpa Kirkman.

A Christmas Miracle

On Christmas Eve, my mom hosted a Christmas Eve brunch with my family and Summer's family. I had my best friend and her children and my kiddos all in one place for a couple hours.  It was wonderful and surreal. Our kids had so much fun together.  I am so thankful for lives moments like this. 

Pampering

My sweet, sweet, sweet boys pampered me with a pedicure. I am constantly humbled by their love and the sweetness to me. They are so thoughtful and willing to take care of their mama. And their pedicure turned out pretty impressive.

Polar Express Play and a Christmas Visit from Gram

Canyon was an Elf in his 1st grade play The Polar Express.  Gram came up to see the play and visit before Christmas.  Canyon was adorable and we all loved watching him.

Blessings For Boden's arrival

My Mama gathered women from my childhood and hosted a baby blessing for Boden's arrival. It was the first Blessing Way I have had. It was a treat. It was lovely having the women who I watched as a girl share their wisdom and strength as I prepare to bring this sweet little spirit into my home. I am so grateful for my upbringing, my wonderful mother and the people who continue to support and love me. 

Andventure Day: Cutting Our Christmas Tree

This is the first real tree our family has had since Gary and I were married.

It was an adventure that produced a tree full of character, size, and beauty. 

Our boys certainly loved the whole experience.

Stay tuned for pictures of the decorated tree.
