Holidays


We had a wonderful holiday season! We had so much family come visit, to help us out and to spend time with us during the holidays. My mom came for Thanksgiving and we had a wonderful few days together and enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving meal.

Our December was very calm and simple this year, and it was just right. We decorated the house, enjoyed the warm weather, and watched lots of Christmas movies. Joseph's parents stayed with us for a few weeks and were such wonderful visitors and helpers.

My sister Megan and her family came to visit us right before Christmas. The cousins had so much fun together and we loved celebrating a little bit of Christmas with them. We exchanged some gifts and had a delicious meal and took them around to see a little bit of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
 
We had a nice, quiet Christmas day with our little family. Matthew and Anna were happy and excited, and Joseph and I took advantage of the chance to spend all day on the couch. We were able to spend lots of time together over the school break, and it was just what we needed!

We are so thankful for our wonderful family for helping us so much over the last couple of months. When I was exhausted or achy from chemo, they were there to help run the house and take care of the kids. We are excited for this new year and hopefully being over the roughest part of this journey. 2018 looks pretty good!

Your matching skirts are SO darling! And I'm so grateful you have had such great support. It looks like your Christmas was magical. I bet that fishing pole was a hit. Ben still remembers when he got his, and he still uses it to this day! Happy Holidays, Cat!
