2 has Arrived

 Ok, so I am late with this post. But in theory 

this little Pepin Layne Blog is for us.

It's our family's Journey.

A Journey Down Pepin Layne!

And somewhere between becoming a Mother

and my dreams coming true with having a precious beautiful little girl...

I just have such Peace, Grace, and Gratefulness!

Life is so full. But I choose the brightness. 

I find myself focusing on Peace, Love, and Laughter.

And this little Beckham is just that!

God had a plan! And I am enjoying every little detail!

Yes, it's crazy that she is already 2!

However, I can truly say....I have enjoyed every minute of this little Blessing!

2 is fun! And she is quite the little charmer!

Family Style Italian Dinner, Christmas Day Brunch,
and a Tree full of Presents! Grateful and Thankful for our Christmas 2015!
It was the True Spirit of Christmas!!!

Christmas Eve Service is my Favorite.

An Annual Christmas Tradition for the boys...

Beckham is officially ready to jump into the Decorating

of the Ginger Bread Houses.

Brooks and Brody worked so hard this year....

I was really impressed...both so different and special in their own ways.

And then it was Christmas Morning.

Not a sound in the house....except for

3 Little Bee's.....jumping up and down saying

Santa came.....Santa Came!

And yes he did.

Dropped off some really great things!!!

Beckham was a Joy to watch this year....as she is so simple.

And was thrilled with her Tent and Anna & Elsa!

Girls are such a Love!!!

Brody was so excited about Star Wars and All his Sports Stuff!

Smiling in his New Oakley's at 7 am!!!

Let's just say this little guys (nearly 10)

is a Sports Fanatic ...and got some Great Ski Gear and Golf Gear!

Essentials for this Elf!!!

And she still takes this little Elsa in her arms everywhere 

she goes....this Sweetheart was in love with Christmas!!!

Christmas Morning with the Cousins for the Win!!!

Feeling really fortunate and Blessed!
