cozy christmas.

This was our first christmas without family, but Ashley and Byron ended up coming over and it was such a lovely day.

And guess what – we all decided on a Tex-Mex taco theme for lunch and it was soooo good!! When tacos are involved, what can go wrong?!

Ashley is vegan, so it’s also a lot of fun to adjust recipes to be conscious of that. That way she can enjoy everything with all of us instead of having a totally separate meal!

Check out our taco bar below… it was so yummy.

twenty-nine.

I’m turning twenty-nine tomorrow… and whew, what an almost-decade it has been.

It’s hard not to be a little nostalgic, for the good and bad.

In the last ten years –

our blue christmas.

This year will be remembered as kind of a blue christmas for us.
