Christmas Time at the Kenyon's

We actually had a real fireplace to hang our stocking by this year!

This Christmas season has been the best I have had in a long time! It was our first Christmas together as a married couple. And can I just say, being married is great :) One of the greatest feelings in the world is knowing that you are surrounded by people who love you and who you love. I was so privileged to have felt this again this year.

Habitat for Humanity

Matt led a volunteer group for Habitat for Humanity for his company and I never got to share about it! So better late than never :)
In the fall we worked on a house in the inner city of Rochester. It was fun but also hard work! We had the privilege of doing the "dirtiest job" they had volunteers do. Insulation. The insulation was recycled paper which we had to rip a part and throw into a huge vat which then sucked the insulation down a tube and was spread on the walls to insulate the house. I probably didn't explain that very well. Regardless it stuck to EVERYTHING, including us. We had to wear masks and goggles so we didn't breath it in too much. But it was a great experience. And we got to see a house dedication to a family receiving their new home. They were so thankful and it was very moving. There was also a block party that we crashed :)

The kids LOVED Matt and his rip stick. Soon he had a line of kids wanting to try it!
