Christmas 2021

I don’t generally get into the Christmas mood until a couple of weeks before, but this year was a little different. It was 3 days before when I started decorating and even shopping! Of course, this meant that I overspent some by not planning and preparing, but it got done and I was quite proud of myself for pulling it off!

What a sweet week we had. We didn’t get to get to see our Texas family and Covid concerns kept us from seeing my parents, so a little sadness was tucked in with the sweetness.

These photos are a mix of the Smithson party and the get together at our house on Christmas Day. I’m also adding some that Hannah and Bill sent us from Texas.

Nanny and Poppy
Nanny made sure everyone respected the elders!
Will bought a beautiful standing rib roast and cooked it in his smoker. Delicious! This may be a new tradition!
Campbell and Davis
Sweet kisses. Lila wasn’t feeling well.
Claire gave me the candlesticks and candles for Christmas. She is my sidekick decorator.

Our family was blessed with a new addition the day after Christmas! Mary Grace and Trevor welcomed Sawyer Rose! We can’t wait to meet her.
