dwell.

yesterday i woke up from a sunday afternoon nap to this:

you can't explain the feeling that comes when you see such a sight ;)

we're loving december and all that comes with it.

mr leif and i are beginning to plan all sorts of little family traditions for the this beautiful time of year.......ones that will be woven into the memories of our children.

{and let's be real, some that look good on pinterest but won't actually get done....}

so, here's to accepting the imperfections of this holiday season, and to get totally all cliche on you:

here's to remembering what the true meaning is.

here's to celebrating the beauty of CHRIST ;)

today i'm a guest of "dwell" over at olivia's :)

....
