I'm pretty sure I've used that word at least twice in each blog I post. But that's ok, cause that's what I love.
When I was growing up we always did fun things for each holiday. We always had great Christmases and Thanksgivings. And now that I have my own family, I'm determined to carry this tradition with my daughter.
My favorite part of holidays, especially Christmas, is giving. I don't even care if I get anything in return. I really don't. I love picking out gifts for people. Trying to find special things for them. It's my favorite.
And of course, being with our awesome family. Eric's mom lives about 7 hours away so when we get to see her and his siblings it is so fun! Like I said before, I have the best mother in law ever!
We really don't have any plans for the holidays yet, but we are trying to figure out what we will be doing, and I can't wait.
I do know that I plan to teach Harper the true meaning of Christmas and Thanksgiving at a young age. It's not about all of the toys and food. Even though all that stuff is fun. It's about Jesus. Giving. Family. Being together. Compassion. Happiness. Love.
We are going to also try to do as many random acts of kindness this year as well, and I cannot wait. I love doing things like that. It gives me a happy heart!
Stay tuned for fun ideas and some of our holiday traditions!
