This past week has been such a blur, but in the best way possible! We’re still recovering but so thankful our time in OH was longer than one day–which is usually all we can get between traveling!  

 Our newest nephew has joined the family and was born on the 29th of December. We were lucky enough to make it to Ryan’s family on Tuesday last week before the baby was born so we could be with his big sister and their pups while Ryan’s brother + sister-in-law were with the baby at the hospital recovering! We are SO happy we were able to be in Ohio to welcome the newest member of the Dowler family to the world, celebrate Christmas + NYE together! We love being with our family and it’s even better when it’s for such a special reason. This trip was such a blessing and full of so many toddler hugs + baby snuggles! 

We spent NYE with his family, playing Trouble (LOVE that game!), eating delicious food and just relaxing with our niece and hugging the baby. My sister-in-law and the baby arrived home that day, so everyone was wiped out as you can imagine! Still a wonderful NYE for all of us!

Check out the blanket I made for my nephew! 

How did you ring in the new year?

XOXO, Kristina 

P.S. The rest of the posts about our first married Christmas will be found on the blog later this week (I’m SO behind, I know! To be fair, we had our last celebration Saturday though!!!). We started a new tradition you won’t want to miss!
