So technically it's still autumn, but the cold weather has me thinking all about winter. I only wish it would actually snow more here in Colorado Springs!

So far this winter, my family and I have been enjoying ourselves. Jeremy and I went ice skating with some friends, we watched 6 out of 8 nieces and nephews perform in our church's kids Christmas play, and we have been baking a lot of treats. 

If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably seen most of these pictures already, but I decided to post them here too. 

Annabella has been loving all of the Christmas decorations and traditions so far. It is a joy to watch her excitement. She loves Christmas trees and lights.

My main goal for this holiday season has been to keep life simple. I don't want to stress over the little things. I still do stress as I try to make every moment as special as I can. Luckily, Jeremy is around to keep me grounded, and Annabella is here to remind me to enjoy every moment no matter what.
