Hey ya’ll ! If you are an avid reader or a subscriber of my blog, I apologize for the late Christmas post. I was kind of contemplating of posting this blogpost because it is way too late. Christmas is totally over already. But i promise myself to journal our Christmas for memories sake. I unfortunately skipped last year for the same reason because it’s late and i really regret that. Our Christmas the year before that is here.
For that holiday season i decorated our humble home with white, silver and gold. For the past years, I’ve always had the traditional Christmas theme. It was decked out with red, white and gold decors . Plus a lot of plush toys ornaments so it looks fun for the kids. Check it out from this post, here.
Now that they’re a bit older , i attempted to make our tree to look elegant-ish. Kinda imitating the ones i see at the mall. While i like the look of it, my husband totally loves it ! Surprise, surprise because normally he doesn’t pay much attention to decorations. I think it’s because of the clean look that coincide with his minimalist personality. For somebody who is not fond of change, it is quite surprising.
I dressed up our dining table at Christmas eve dinner because it’s not everyday our table looking as good as this and besides it’s Christmas eve!
This was taken after Christmas eve church service. I made sure we get our family pictures taken before everybody get all busy preparing and eating for Christmas eve dinner. If you can’t tell, the kids are playing around with the self-timer remote. I wanna highlight the bloopers here. After all, it was a beautiful mess. #formemoriessake
Of course, the mother and daughter tandem looks. I tried to get the boys do a father and son twinning. They roll their eyes at me. They think they are too cool for that kind of stuff. #killjoy
This was taken at Christmas morning. It was fun, obviously. Per say ” It’s the most wonderful time of the year ! “. Gosh, it was our 10th year of celebrating Christmas together as a little family. All of these were just a dream when i was a little girl. Now here i am living the life i dreamed of. I am grateful for everything even the not so perfect moments. For that, there were lessons learned and it shaped me, it shaped us.
As we all know marriage and having kids test us with everything. Emotionally, physically and spiritually. There are not so great moments but there are amazing times that makes you so happy, it makes you question on what did i do in this world to deserve this. That kind of feeling. It’s the feeling of contentment, gratefulness and happiness. Even if we are broken human beings, even we are not a perfect family. I wanna look pass the hardship of married life and raising kids. I wanna remember these beautiful moments.
Thank you so much for reading !
