Feels like we are sort of sitting at a big crossroad in life rn. 
It feels crazy, I’m sure it sounds even more crazy. I’m verrrry much for traditions. I love them with all of my heart. But we are nearing the stay at home for Christmas season of our life + it is freaking me out. Are you big on traditions? I am trying to wrap my head around not being with our siblings on Christmas morning. Am I really old enough to be a Mom? (please tell me I’m not the only one who asks this from time to time) Is it my kids who are all together + not with their cousins? FACE PALM. But really, it’s pulling on my heart. 
We were hoping to be in our new home by this Christmas. But we are a good year behind schedule, so hopefully by next? Patience in all things ya? 🙂
Traditions based around the Holiday Season are so special to our family. To me, growing up, my parents created a childhood filled with family memories. Jon’s grew up doing similar things with his family. Do you find yourself in a crossfire with the way things are supposed to be? 
I’m not much of a planner, but guess what – – – I’ve been changing my ways. I have a plan. Owning a business is hard to shut off at times. But as we near the holiday’s, we plan to be very intentional with our time. And with our traditions. At what point in your life did you cut back to just your little family? Or do you still go with a big group for Christmas? I love them both. Jon + I each say ohhh let’s try it this year ( when it’s not our year). I live to spend time with the boys + hope they always look back + feel loved. I don’t think they’ll remember the silly fuss over this or that, but they will remember being loved no matter what! AND PAJAMAS. Always matching Christmas jammies that will remind me of my own childhood no matter where I am in life. 
Some of the things we are looking forward to this year include:
1. New Happy Hanna Christmas Jammies
2. Hosting a service project at Gigi Pip
2. Picking out the best Christmas Lights + doorbell ditching treats
3. Cutting down our own Christmas Tree in the forrest for reals
4. Volunteering downtown with the kids
5. Talking to Jenson on Christmas Day
Wherever you find yourself in life right now, I hope you feel loved. And accepted. And open to new possibilities. Big hugs my friends! xx
