Silas' first Christmas

Happy Birthday Jesus!
I ran out of food coloring so my red velvet cake was pink velvet. I also substituted butter milk with half and half. I don't recommend this. It's sweet and edible, but not moist and amazing. 
Our first Christmas in our home meant Matthew had the carving honors. At least the main dish turned out better than Jesus' birthday cake.
Dollar store toy was a hit! A train that goes in circles.... who would have thought... gotta love how simple it is when we have our first Christmas. Why change it?
Loved seeing friends who came in town with some new additions to the group. Silas looks ginormous already. Someone please slow the clock down!
Silas is blessed to have many loving grandparents. Didn't get a pic with the grandfathers this year, but Silas was loving the sugar from his Gramma.
Our tradition: Smith family Christmas morning brunch. Oh so delicious!
Is it okay that Silas was flirting with my step sisters?
Dee Dee was excited to introduce Silas to his first football game.

We are so thankful that so much of our family traveled to Roswell this Christmas. It was a true blessing to stay in our home this year. As a "Four Christmases" kind of group, we were happy to stay put for once. We missed a few members, but had a great Christmas. We are thankful for our health, home, and so many blessings we can't even count. 2013 was a year we won't ever forget.

I have written on this blog for ten years now. From singleness to newlywed to mama of four sickly, but now active, growing boys. It's been a place for me to purge, process, and pray through some of life's biggest changes and challenges. It's also helped me keep distant family and friends informed, but I've felt for some time it's come to an appropriate place for pause. I know that I have many more mountains and valleys to travel if the Lord wills it, and many more personal lessons that I'd love to share and reread to my kiddos one day (and if anyone wants to organize and compile this little landscape into a memoir, please be my guest), but I do not ever want to assume a posture of numbness as it relates to our regular routines.
