Joy
We celebrated with the 12 dates of Christmas:
- Visted the Christmas tree farm and cut down our first tree, and decorated it.
- Baked holiday cookies.
- Shopped for Christmas pajamas.
- Took a driving light tour.
- Sipped hot chocolate and star gazed.
- Spoiled the dogs with stockings.
- Mailed Christmas cards.
- Had a Christmas movie marathon.
- Went Christmas shopping together.
- Enjoyed a Christmas dinner date out {with the Thomson’s}
- Went ice-skating.
- Made Gingerbread houses.
And also an Anniversary for our friends Heather & Brent;)
Another week has flown by. Hope yours was nice! We’re getting our menu ready for Thanksgiving and shopping lists ready for Christmas. There is a new chill in the air. My thin blood from Arizona is still trying to get used to this kind of weather, but it’s still so pretty every day. God is definitely gracing us with a gorgeous autumn. Here’s what brought me joy last week:
1. This beautiful man. Don’t know what I’d do without him.
2. Skype double-date with our besties, the Thomsons.
3. My friend, Sarah’s little James brings me joy every week. So happy they’re safe and that the damage from Hurricane Sandy was manageable where they live {Lyndurst, NJ}.
4. Lunch & shopping in Los Gatos with Heather. What a charming hill town!
Would love to hear what brought you joy last week:)
Instead of listing out an obnoxious amount of links and things that brought me joy the week past, I thought I’d simplify by keying in on 4 things that TRULY brought me joy the week before. It’s obvious that a million things bring me joy every day, every week, but I need to narrow it down – to really reflect on the most joy-inspired, little things, or big things, from every day life, mostly captured on my phone. So, this Sunday morning as I sip on my pumpkin spice coffee, I’ll share what brought me joy last week:
The smell of Fall in my house.
A surprise lunch with Rob.
What brought you joy last week? :)
