Showers of Blessings {7}

We are having a wonderful December. It's been such a blessing to have Tyler not travel as much for work and have some great family time at home. We're enjoying the warmer weather and still can't believe it's mid-December and 70 degrees outside. Last night we went for a walk to get ice cream...not something we've ever done in December before! Here are some blessings of the past few weeks.

-one-

Our friends the Days babysat James while Tyler and I went on a date. We went to a Moroccan restaurant in Epcot and enjoyed the whole experience. I was quite proud of myself to venture out and try different food. I had couscous and chicken and Tyler had shish kabobs with yellow rice.

Our friend Hannah came to visit us and she got to meet James. Hannah was a student at Loras College when we were missionaries there and now she is a FOCUS missionary at Northwestern University. We had a wonderful visit with her and best of all was that James got to try his hand at his first musical instrument! Hannah played a few songs for James and he gave her lots of smiles!

We decorated for Christmas and have really been enjoying being reminded it's Advent and Christmas is coming. Especially when it doesn't feel like it outside! Getting out the Christmas decorations brings back lots of memories of the past few years and we know there are many more memories in the years to come!

P.S. Thanks to my sister for her great idea of how to hang Christmas cards!
