Why is it always so hard...

I absolutely love getting onto other's blogs and checking in on them, but when it comes to updating my own it feels like such a chore! I need to update and give a synopsis of whats been going on at the Stark house:

NOVEMBER: We celebrated my Birthday, wahoo to getting old! Had Thanksgiving with my family, and starting getting into the hectic Christmas shopping fever.


DECEMBER: Feels like we shopped almost every night. So exhausting, and expensive. yikes! Bella was so fun to watch at her Christmas performance, Uncle Josh and Aunt Denise were able to come! And not only did we enjoy the tubing hill at Gorgoza on Christmas Eve, we also had a fantastic Christmas and were able to spend some low-key time at home for the first fews hours of the morning, and then made the rounds with both sides of the family as the day progressed.

Although things have felt chaotic and messy, we savor our weekends and time together as a family at night. We try to relax every second we can, and can't wait for a few fun trips we have planned throughout the year!
