Merry Christmas from our little family to yours. God has blessed us in incredible ways this year and one of those blessings happens to be you. Thank you for supporting our family, for reading my ideas, for taking a chance in the kitchen with a recipe you saw here, for firing up your glue guns from the projects I have crafted, for hitting your library with my reading list, for incorporating our family traditions into your family traditions, to simply affirming my work here with your sweet comments. I am so thankful for you!
Our family is on a holiday this week and we hope you enjoy the holiday with those you love. We are excited for gingerbread waffle eating, cocoa sipping, tackling a few holiday puzzles, singing lots of carols, and just being together. I have a stack of library books, a pile of yarn, and a coffee cup with my name on it this week.
Happy Holidays with lots of love from our family to yours!
xoxo,
Amy

My hubby said the subtitle on that one should be, “Emily…and her family.” Many pictures like that- we were just props

Aw, thank you so much, Bren. Our friend Nancy did such a great job for our family. The coat was a treat for myself that I found on a half off clearance rack at Anthropologie. It is my most favorite thing that I own, especially the lacing down the back
Merry Christmas to your family!!
