A Very Merry Christmas

Josh and I are so thankful to have had the opportunity to spend longer amounts of time with each side of our family this year. Even with both of us working retail, we managed to have off the majority of Christmas Eve through the 26th. We are also thankful that the “snowpocalypse” didn’t turn out as bad as everyone was predicting! We had plenty of snow for a white Christmas (somewhere around 18-20 inches) but were still able to travel the roads safely.
The ornament in the picture above was a gift from my friends, Corynn and Jamie. Isn’t is the cutest?! Being “in the family way” (as Josh’s Amma says) for Christmas put a whole new meaning on family gatherings and how important they are to us. We are so excited to have a little one scooting around next year! I’m pretty sure all the soon-to-be aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, and great-grandparents are looking forward to that too.
My grandma Kontak from Indiana traveled to Minnesota to be with us this Christmas. We hadn’t seen her in two years! It was a special treat to have her with us. Thank you grandma for traveling to be here! The picture below is of us Kontak kids with our Grandma.
