{#2018ChristmasMoments // Christmas Photo Challenge}

One of my favorite things to do each year is to follow Stephanie's Christmas Photo Challenge. I was so excited this year when she asked me to help co-host it! I love taking and sharing photographs of all things Christmas on Instagram! It's my absolute favorite. Below are the prompts and today I want to share my photos for days 1-12 (half of the challenge).

Joining my girl @cfamilyadventures for a Christmas photo challenge! Today’s prompt is “selfie”. I’m horrible at these and I’m pretty sure my neighbor @rachaelkprice was probably laughing at me if she was near her window. But, #doitforthegram right? Merry December!! ❤️ • #2018ChristmasMoments

We don’t have an actual fireplace in our home, but I adore this one my dad made. And it’s the perfect place for our stockings! • #2018ChristmasMoments • Day 7 • stockings

It’s no secret that #masonlaneh gets a sugar high every time we build our Gingerbread house! I’m certain he eats more candy than he puts on the house! ❤️ This year our elves brought a Who-ville house from the Grinch on the day we went to see our favorite Grinch! 💚 • #2018ChristmasMoments • Day 9 • sugar high

One of my favorite Christmas-time traditions is having the tree farm cut a sliver off of the bottom of our tree so that we can have it as a keepsake! We have about 8 or 9 years of memories is this basket and I love them so! • #2018ChristmasMoments • day 10 • tradition

Hi, my name is Crystal and I like pretty and coordinating wrapping paper. Especially those of the rustic and plaid variety. But, as I sit and wrap gifts I can’t help but think about the ultimate gift. The most beautiful gift lying there in a manger. What a humble beginning for the one that would come to save us all. ↠ But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. – Galations 4:4-5 • #2018ChristmasMoments • day 11 • gift giving
