our little + growing family is calling this christmas a victory! for the first time ever, we finished our gift shopping + wrapping well before christmas eve. we crossed every item off of our holiday bucket list. we baked dozens + dozens of cookies. laughed our way through decorating gingerbread houses. we had our family photographs taken in november + mailed out our christmas cards with plenty of time to spare. (photographs by the amazingly talented + sweet laura wills)
we hope your holidays are filled with so much joy, love + laughter. and a few (or many) sweet treats. we wish you the merriest christmas + happiest of holidays from our family to yours.
merry christmas from the diehls!
