MERRY CHRISTMAS
Merry Christmas from my heart to yours! we just got back from our huge italian feast and now we’re bunkering down for a quiet Christmas eve. we decided to open presents tonight as tomorrow will be a full but amazing day visiting two sets of families.
we’re also building a fort in our living room tonight. i’m so excited to sleep under the Christmas tree…oh Christmas is good. i hope you all are having wonderful times with your family.
God is so good. Thank you Lord for the greatest gift we have ever received…JESUS!!!

my heart and prayers are with the families of the victims. i can’t even begin to imagine what they are going through but i will pray and trust that God will surround them this season. oh Jesus, this world needs you so much.
MONDAY QUOTE
“Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.” - Gandalf

DIARY // FIRST TREE
major hottie.
christmas has come to the liira’s!! wooooot. seriously, all i want to do is make a mug of hot chocolate and sit and stare at the christmas tree. we also have christmas music playing 24/7. and leftover cookies from the baking exchange i went to…oh did i mention they’re almost gone…5 dozen…yikes (i’ve given some to guests i’ve had over, don’t worry!!)
i can’t do christmas with a fake tree. i just can’t. so this year we borrowed a tree stand (thanks richmond family!), ventured to country grocer and picked up this beauty. i did want to go to a farm and chop down a tree BUT it was much cheaper this way and it seems like a great tree. and mmmmmmmm it smells like heaven.
tonight is our staff christmas party…SO STOKED. oh and today i picked up louboutins (pics coming tomorrow!) from the thrift store for $70 (thanks Rayael for finding the goods!!) yay, it’s a dang good monday.
hope you have a delightful day!
xoxo,
