As I'm sure everyone is keenly aware, life seems to get busier and busier. This Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's season is no different for our family. It was tough for Eme and I to get into the Christmas spirit this year as I (Jon) was busy at work and coughs/colds struck our family multiple times over the past month. Speaking of which, Eme is laying in bed not feeling well and Brianna is napping so I thought I would take a moment to update our multitude (ha ha) of blog readers on the happenings of our Christmas season.
Here's a quick rundown of our December...
We celebrated my mom's birthday by going to the hollidazzle parade.
We celebrated Christmas with my grandpa Carlson and Aunt and cousins from LaCrosse in Mankato, MN.
Christmas Eve with my family (Bonkoski's).
Christmas Day with Eme's family (Gustafson's).
Extended Bonkoski Christmas/Pinnacle gathering at our house.
Celebrated my parent's 40th wedding anniversary on December 27th.
Celebrated Brianna's first birthday on December 29th.
Spent time at our family cabin over New Year's.
I'm sure everyone has been busy. But we hope you all took a moment to pause and reflect and the true meaning of Christmas. It's super easy to get caught up in all the shopping, cookie baking, family gathering. But Christ remains the central theme to Christmas. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! May Christ be a real part of your life this year.
