I probably say it every time I post about my kids, but they are all changing and growing up at lightning speed these days. I constantly wish to slow down time and yet I am also so excited about the people they are becoming and can’t wait to see what the future has in store …
We LOVE board games in the Berning household! And we were so excited to have a whole night dedicated to playing games as a family. Each of the kiddos picked a game and we PLAYED! I love how so often the simplest things can have such a big impact. Togetherness for the WIN! Lydia wasn’t …
We were really sad that we weren’t able to spend some time with the Bernings during Christmas because of illness, so we were SO HAPPY to be able to spend a weekend with them this month. It felt just like Christmas with the Christmas tree and decorations still up and we LOVED it!
