Our tiny family’s first Christmas together was magical.

Sweet little Dakota has already gleefully embraced family fireside cocoas, tree trimming, and singing along to carols while twirling around the house. That first Christmas morning of three was absolutely delightful. While Dakota may not quite understand the significance of the season, both Alex and I woke reinvigorated with a childlike excitement, envisioning years of new family traditions ahead.

This is the first year Alex and I have spent the entire season together, bouncing from my family to his. We couldn’t feel more enveloped with warmth and love.
