A Holiday in Ohio...

This holiday season, Mr. M. and I have been extremely blessed to have the opportunity to visit both sides of our family!

We just got back from Ohio where we stayed with my husband's family for a few days. It was so great to see them! I also got to meet my husband's grandma, Evelyn, for the first time.

The trip was quick, but thoroughly enjoyable!
I hope you enjoy the slides...

The Story of a Little Girl...

This is a little video slide show that I put together for my adorable niece on the occasion of her first birthday. It is a cliche to say, but time goes by so quickly. This slide show chronicles her growth over the past year.

She is a very special little girl. Uncle M. and I miss having her (and her parents) close by. And, though we try to keep up with them through their blog (which Sara has done an awesome job at maintaining, I might add!) it will be so nice to really catch up when we see them next week!

Note: For best results, you may want to pause the Christmas music that is playing before starting this video.

Enjoy!

A Little Christmas Spirit...

Preparing for Christmas...

The tree has been decorated; the stockings have been hung...

This year's ornament is displayed front and center.

The annual portrait in front of the tree has been shot.

Merry CHRISTmas!

For there is born to you this day in the city of David a
Savior, who is Christ the Lord... Glory to
God in the Highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward
men!

Luke 2:11 & 14

Happy ChristGiving!

Over Thanksgiving Mr. M and I went to my parent's home. We combined our Thanksgiving celebrations with Christmas...thus, it was dubbed "ChristGiving".

We had a wonderful stay and my only complaint was that our time there was too brief.

I am thankful for a really kind and loving family. Please enjoy some snap shots of our holiday...
