I still have a few Christmas layouts to share with you.
I apparently forgot to add the date on here. There's no journaling, because it's pretty obvious the pictures are of our (previous) home decorated for the holidays. I believe this was 2016. At this point, we had purchased our lot and were trying to finalize our home plans for our dream home to be built in the following year. This was our final year of fully decorating that home for Christmas.
We sure did love our old home in so many ways, but we were also very excited about the fact we were in the process of making our dream home a reality...finally. We had 28 years of memories in this, our first home. Our tiny dining room was bursting at the seams now that our oldest boy has a family of four and our youngest was at that time engaged (now married). Even though it was tiny, we managed and always seemed to make it special for everybody.
We tried to make it a place where everybody was comfortable with a little bit of magical ambiance. Now that we are in our new home, I look back at these pictures and it's bittersweet. Love all of the memories that I'm preserving with my scrapbooks. But I also LOVE making all the new memories in our new home. Two days from now we will have been in our new place for a full year, completing the full year of holidays and memory making in our new home. We are so thankful and blessed to have a little more room for our growing family to enjoy when they come for family dinner each week and especially for all the holiday meals. We are truly blessed to fulfill our LONG time dream of building. For a little taste of our new home (before we moved in), you'll have to come back tomorrow for a sneak preview layout!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Come back soon!
