sometimes it's fun to have a huge family of 10 siblings and 30-something nieces and nephews.

sometimes it's fun to share soup & salad recipes and pretend it's cold outside.

sometimes it's fun to have a family that can sing well and go caroling to neighbors that we don't know (for shame!)

sometimes it's fun to make weird, funny faces while caroling and your husband takes pictures instead of singing.

sometimes it's fun to have a ridiculously good looking man in your life.

sometimes it's fun to drink hot apple cider and cocoa in front of a fire while a brother tells about his christmas experiences in germany.

sometimes it's fun to have a sister-in-law that reads lovely christmas stories.

Now I feel he need to have more children so that I can lead something like that when they all get older and have kids.
ReplyDeleteI could be tempted to be jealous when I read this post (it is lovely), but then I suddenly remember I have a big, happy, christian family and it makes me grateful instead.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing!
Looks like a wonderful time was had by all! Great memories were created too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful family you have. It's awesome to be in a huge family!
ReplyDeleteAnd all of the time the beauty of Christmas lies in your actions...not just the wrapping. May you all have a blessed Christmas!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful evening
ReplyDeletethat was fantastic... i have the family, but not the voices... in my case sometimes it is fun to make others suffer for your love of Christmas music!
ReplyDeleteLove all the Christmas gatherings. I just have to tell you we're in Darin and Peter's stake and I work with her in Young womens. And I love her.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Liz!
What a magical evening! Every part of that decorated house looks like one from a fairytale, and your David looks so comfy there by the fire. It's memories like this that we need to remember forever, right? Your family is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas, Lizzy Dear!
what a fun little family you've got. Looks absolutely delightful- this is surely a memory you'll treausre always.
ReplyDeletethat is so beautiful liz, your family has such sweet traditions. i hope you have a merry christmas.
ReplyDeleteYour family is like a fairy tale family! That is so fun that you all get together once a month on Sundays! What a great tradition! I love your parents house. It is so cozy and cute!
ReplyDeleteoh my... your family is too cute. I am now going to try to convince mine to go caroling with me :) so fun!
ReplyDeletehope your christmas is merry!
I was just struck by something - Claire (as in Christian and Stephanie's Claire) looks a LOT like you. She has her mom's dark coloring but she shares a lot of your facial features. I've been following their story and occasionally pop over to see your etsy stuff :) I have a daughter who looks a lot like my sister too - aunts sometimes provide the best genetic makeup! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHi Lizzie!!! I just wanted to say thank you!!! I don't know if you remember - but a few weeks ago, you gave me tips on how to make a header. I tried it and it worked. Thanks!! My blog got a major uplift and I totally have you to thank. Thanks again!
