My parents and my sister came for Christmas! It was awesome! My Mom made gingerbread houses for the girls to decorate. They had so much fun!

We had a really beautiful Christmas service this Sunday. These days, I'm often contemplating what the future holds for our family and I feel a lot of fear! But I always, always come back to my trust in God's plan for me, my family and my baby. It's because He was born that I can have this hope, faith, trust.

My girls were in our church's little nativity performance. Greta was Mary, Holly was the innkeeper, and Maeve was a lamb, whose sole job was to sit still and eat pretzels by the manger. Nailed it! I love that my girls were able to do this with their friends!

While we had family in town, we celebrated Maeve's birthday. I have been so excited to give Maeve her gift - a momma bunny and three nursing baby bunnies. She loves it. This age that Maeve is at, it's so magical. (And a little emotionally charged at times!) My favorite thing she says, mostly about the baby we have in our home, is, "oh goodness." Maeve is a sweetheart with a big heart. Now if only she'd stop pooping in the tub.
