simply Christmas

welcome back friends!

Can you believe Christmas has come and gone for another year?! Winter Break is ticking by and I  am praying for it to slow down!

Like I mentioned in my last post I decided to take an impromptu break from the blog simply because I was overworked and overwhelmed. I am so hoping that I can manage to catch up over these last few days of break! In the meantime there has been lots of every-day-ness, lots of unpacking, lots of school work, and of course preparations for Christmas. Christmas decorating at our house was super simple this year- we only put up our Christmas tree and my Willow Tree naivety. We just returned last night from spending time in the mountains with our families and my in-laws have currently traveled back home with us for a few days as well. So grateful for family time!

That leaves me with lots of pictures to share with you!

Time spent with friends.



Date nights.



Gorgeous views on these country roads.





Christmas lights in downtown Greensboro. An entire neighborhood hangs these light balls all over in the trees .. it creates a magical experience that I wasn't able to really capture on camera!



A trip to Boone with my hubby's youth to volunteer at Operation Christmas Child. We go every year and it is one of my favorite events of the Holiday season!

   Lots of Holiday gatherings, musical performances, and parties, including making Advent wreaths with the girl's small group at church and the youth Holiday party where even Santa made an appearance! 







And of course, the big event itself, Christmas! 

















Best wishes to all as the Holiday season comes to a close .. and of course as we remember the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ our Lord. <3
