Lights and Love

I don't often post photos like this on my blog, but I took this last night and wanted to share.


I also don't often share too much personal information here, but my mother passed away this week after struggling with cancer. Our neighbors came and put these ice lanterns out  in front of our house the afternoon before she passed. We are so thankful for the kindness of our friends and family this holiday season.
