Dear Friends, Family, & Faithful Customers,

Merry Christmas from the bottom of our hearts!

We hope you’ve had a wonderful year & experience the true joy of Christmas.

Now, enjoy some out takes… can you tell who is the ham of the family?!

I seriously cannot even remember what was happening here or what possessed my kiddos.

I know there was something about “playing” their letters as instruments &

how Sunshine Girl turned that into ninja moves is beyond me {& yet really no surprise at all!}

Here’s a brief year wrap up:

Hubby: Anatomy/Physiology Teacher, Biology Departmental Chair, part time Neuro-Cardio nurse, worship leader, best hubby & Daddy Bear ever

Me: Wife, Mommy, Photographer, Creative Director of Life Verse Design, book designer for Tyndale House Publishers, soccer coach x2 girls’ teams, Bible study leader

My Favorite Little Mister: 11 years old, 6th grade, piano player, cello player, origami master, Lego Mindstorms enthusiast, Lego builder, creating something constantly, book worm

Sunshine Girl: 9 years old, 4th grade, piano player, soccer, volleyball, athlete {basically she would do every sport if I let her!}, comic enthusiast {ask her anything, she will know}, book worm {she’s my one who is “too busy reading Nancy Drew to have a playdate”}

Pumpkin Poos: 7 years old, 1st grade, soccer player, dancer, singer {spoiler alert: can you say karaoke in our near future?! ahhhh!}, artist, pretend play constantly {teacher, restaurant owner, librarian, mommy}, Frozen enthusiast, book worm

Highlight of the year was definitely our camping trip to Yellowstone, Tetons, Badlands, & Mount Rushmore. It’s also been fun watching the kids grow & though there have been struggles, we trust they will bloom into who they are meant to be.

Merry Christmas again!

Grace & Peace,

Julie
