As I write this post, we are currently driving from Waupaca, Wisconsin (my hometown) to Merrill, Wisconsin (Caleb’s hometown) in order to be able to spend the holidays with all of our favorite people : ) This season has been such a sweet one for us so far—I am absolutely, positively LOVING all the time we’re getting to spend with PEOPLE—those we love, have fun with, + are thankful for—as we unwind from being busy, busy, busy during wedding season!! (I also am realizing how much I LOVE shooting weddings, + miss it!!! … But am embracing a time for relaxation!)

Tomorrow is Christmas—a joyful + beautiful time of the year, but also one that can be difficult + emotionally taxing for so many people. Wherever you find yourself this Christmas, our prayer for you—yes YOU—is that you would experience peace in your innermost being + know you are loved.

If you’re joining us for the first time today, we are so glad you are here + hope you’ll come back time + time again to share our lives with us! If this is your 100th time visiting the blog, thank you for your support, love, + encouragement. We are SO grateful for you.

As we getting ready to snuggle up with those we love most (+ of course, have a glass of wine, or two!!), enjoy some moments from our recent small group Christmas Party!! MERRIEST of Christmas to you, + yours.
