following grace

y'all Christmas was almost a week ago, and i haven't even touched my computer in over a week. You'll see why later on. {thanks Apple ;}   Our christmas was so splendid this year. I think it might have been my favorite Christmas ever. With me working and things crazy lately, it was soooo dreamy to just sit and enjoy time with each other all day long. like two days before Christmas me and Stevie did our best to whip some decor up and decorate our fabulous smelling tree.

Im tellin ya, there is just not the motivation to edit pictures and blog all day like there used to be.
