This is our 10th Christmas together, so I thought it would be fun to share one picture from each year. The one above is from Christmas Eve 2010, just a week after our wedding!
2011- and the vest that Paul doesn’t wear anymore. š
2012 – the last Christmas my Gramma spent with us before she went to Heaven. ā¤
2013 – The era of grainy over-filtered Instagram pictures!
2014 – Our first of what we now call #HamFamHolidays!
2015 – The only picture I have of just the two of us is the one I took for a YouTube video thumbnail. Ha!
2016 – Another YouTube thumbnail pose, this one from a marriage Q&A video.
2017- One of my favorite pictures of us!
2018 – Another great HamFamHoliday!
These pictures remind me of the hope and joy that Jesus brings. I look forward to Christmas all year long – not just for the fun and festiveness, but for the reminder that Jesus came to bring hope to our broken world. I love being able to celebrate that as I reflect over the past year, with whatever joy or heartache it brought.
It’s also really fun to celebrate almost a decade of Christmases with my husband! Next week we’ll celebrate our 9th anniversary, so Monday’s post will be the answers to nine of your questions. We might even get on Instagram stories to tell the story of how we met!
Have a lovely weekend, friends!
Come Home For Comfort

You can start with this Christmas! Even if you just snap a selfie of the two of you snuggled on the couch, it’s a fun memory to enjoy in later years. ā¤
