The Mixed-Up Adventures of the Merry Mederich's.

It was such a merry Christmas for the Justin Mederich's this year. Last year was nice too, but honestly I'm so thankful to be where we are now as opposed to where we were then. A year ago during the holidays we had a baby that wouldn't sleep, we weren't living in our own home, we had recently moved to the frigid north, and I had just started my new job. Were we blessed at that time?  Absolutely!  Did life feel easy? Absolutely not. This Christmas was different and better in so many ways! We have a happy and spunky toddler who lights up the room by day, and typically sleeps quite well at night. We are close enough to family that we can celebrate with both sides and enjoy our time together without having to think about driving 10 hours to get home. Via is getting to the age where she remembers her grandmas and grandpas and aunts and uncles and that makes the time spent with them that much more fun. And she is also way more into toys and presents than she was last year...
