Kaylin Kristine : Returning to the blog/Christmas extravaganza!

I'm finally back in action here on the blog! I wasn't finding the time I had really wanted to spend writing this blog but now I feel it's time to pick it back up as I'm finding so many things I'd love to share but as I'm no longer have social media accounts like Facebook and Instagram I have no way to share! I felt like those accounts were taking too much time away from my kids as I kept scrolling through everything for too much time during the day so it was time for a change up. So now I'm even more excited to share the fun things we're doing over here as well as some new business ventures I'm interested in, so hopefully you'll all enjoy it with me!

So for my first return post I thought I'd share about our wonderful Christmas celebrations with BOTH our boys since little Jaxon was still growing in the womb at Christmas time last year and I was so ready to NOT be pregnant anymore...the constant back pain and incessant need to pee really gets old after a while. Not to mention the tedious finger pricking I had to do 4 times a day due to gestational diabetes, so needless to say I was done done done by this point. Thankfully Jaxon arrived just a mere 6 weeks after Christmas!

So this Christmas we participated in Operation Christmas Child again, which is an amazing organization giving these gift boxes to kids in need all over the world. As well as helping wherever else we could like with our home church. Always nice to find ways to give back and showing our kids the importance of it. We also enjoyed friends and family Christmas parties, gift wrapping, meeting Santa, church activities and baking galore (like the famous Tucker family Nuts n' Bolts) and then had the ultimate closing of Christmas festivities with a perfect Christmas morning opening gifts with the boys at home and then heading to my families home to celebrate with my parents and brothers. The boys received their annual Christmas eve gift from my parents with their new pjs and a special book for the night (absolutely LOVE this tradition). We then had dinner with my Lee's family for additional fun family time. Tons of amazing memories for us and the kids and we can safely say we have toys coming out our ears now after all this celebrating! Time to hide some away for a rainy day! We are so grateful for our families and the joy this season brings. There is something so unique about the Christmas season, regardless of the family time you have throughout the year it seems that during December it's something to treasure that much more.
