{christmas 2013}

What a great Christmas we have had! It all started with our little bundle of joy arriving mid-December. Then my mom came to help us out for the week before Christmas. She saved us! She took care of every meal, every load of laundry, every little need and was up through the night with me. She helped us begin to adjust to life with a newborn and we are so, so grateful. Then, the rest of my family came out to celebrate Christmas {but really just to see Jake!} and it was all so perfect. We had fun the whole time and everyone was a huge help in so many ways.

What a year 2013 has been. We are excited to see what 2014 brings. We are so grateful for our Savior, Jesus Christ and how through Him we can feel peace each day. Enduring to the end is hard, and I think we have to rely on the atonement to endure each day well. But through Jesus Christ, we know we can find joy each day no matter our circumstances. mormon.org 

And now, because we have the cutest little subject to photograph, here is an overload of pictures:
