Blue skies and frost-covered rooftops. The weather lately has been glorious. I don’t think I could ever survive living in the snow but a little chill in the air around Christmas time suits me just fine:)
My little guy turned two!! He blew out his candles like a champ (I think we re-lit them five times, per his request) and didn’t complain that his mom failed to really throw him an official party or buy him a present. Thankfully Nana pulled through with a firetruck which was a big hit:) I know I know, I’m terrible.
My wonderful in-laws have come and gone all the way from Ireland and it was a very special two weeks. I can’t put into words how much they mean to us so I’ll just post a few photos:)
Have you heard of ‘The Journey’? It’s basically a reenactment of the time surrounding Jesus’ birth and ends with the night He was born. It was incredibly realistic and a really cool visual experience that we walked through in about an hour. In fact, it was so realistic that Méabh actually started crying because the Roman soldiers were being ‘so mean and scary.’ Haha!
I participated in a little Christmas craft fair and it was good for me to get my creative juices flowing again:) 2019 — it is one of my goals to get back into art! I may or may not have said that before…
Lastly, I snapped a couple of photos while on a breakfast date this morning with Niall. Downtown Savannah was looking lovely and festive! We love The Collin’s Quarter and it’s always a treat to eat a kid-free meal:)
Recently lots of people have asked me if I’m ready for Christmas … I usually say ‘I think so!’ We are keeping things simple and looking forward to a cozy Christmas with our little family. What about you?? Hope everyone’s week is off to a good start:)
Loved all of this. Your pictures, your art, your sweet in-law’s, your date, and that little boy is two?! 😩💙 I loved reading your blog. Looking forward to hanging out and catching up, my friend!
everything about this post i LOVE! it’s so fun to see things in pictures–really helps me envision your life. cozy home and such sweet times with the maddens–so happy for you! love your art! i want it all! something about the area, the lifestyle is rather enchanting to me. if that restaurant is just a little peek into things and the houses are stately with space between them, which seems like a southern thing to me. i did resonate with your simple ending and yes’m, would that we could all keep it simple. this is my problem and i think i’ll make it my prayer from now on. thanks for posting, Erin! ps-love the Journey–i need to see where they do it and if they do it around here.
I love that you love it 🙂 Makes me happy to know that y’all at home can still feel close at heart! Hugs this Christmas to you and your family xo
