After the Day


Hello all, I hope you had a  joyous Christmas!!
We had such a wonderful Christmas, even though my kiddos were sick, it was definitely one of the greatest. My 8 year old actually told me this was his best Christmas ever! Wow, did that make Santa feel good :0)


 I just wanted to share a few photos from around the house. On Christmas Eve, I stopped by Trader Joe's to pick up some snacks for our family night and of course I couldn't leave without some gorgeous flowers.


I got a new lens from hubby, the nifty-fifty, so I've been having fun taking photos with it.


Yesterday, hubby picked up our traditional Christmas tamales and we spent the day lounging around in our jammies watching our new movies that Santa brought us.


It was definitely a perfect Christmas filled with joy and love!

I hope you all have a wonderful night!!
Sincerely,
Melinda

  1. That is wonderful news Melinda.
    It must have been something in Santas magic this year, Brooklyn said this christmas was amazing.
    I didn't even know he could say amazing...so that was amazing to me :)

    I am so glad that you had a day of love and joy in your house. Sounds perfect and so deserved.
    Happy New Year.
