Christmas Day and Birthday Celebrations

Christmas Day was as magical as ever.🎄❤️  After opening presents at our house, we headed to Mom and Dad’s at the farm. Brunch, mimosas, presents under the tree, games, and puzzles around the table. The weather was gorgeous (just like Thanksgiving). We sat outside and watched football while the kids enjoyed the hot tub. 

The biggest surprise for Reese and Brooks was the gift that Santa brought this year. Meet our sweet Remy Rae, a mini goldendoodle. 

My kids have been BEGGING for another dog, so much so that they wanted to forfeit any vacations this next year if it was going to be too expensive. 🤯 While I will not be doing that, we are excited to welcome Rocky’s little sister and our new addition. ❤️

And as we do every year, the day after Christmas we celebrate my Mom & Dad’s December birthdays with the whole fam bam. Dinner at Old Chicago and then to Fast Lanes. We bowl, we play laser tag, and we waste way too much money at the arcade.  It’s one of my favorite nights of the year!! 🎉

  

December 2025

December is pure magic wrapped in cozy moments and sparkling lights. It’s the month where the air feels softer, homes glow a little warmer, and time seems to slow just enough to savor what matters most. There’s joy in the simple things - twinkling decorations, familiar Christmas songs, and hot drinks in cold hands. It’s the time of year that feels hearts with hope, generosity, and anticipation for what’s ahead. I love it so much!

Jolly made his arrival on December 1st. 

Reese had an ugly sweater birthday party for her best friend, Brynley.

Reese had her Christmas Choir Concert at school 🎶

Mimi came to watch as well. The girls did great!

We had our neighborhood Christmas party!  

We went to see Zootopia 2 and it was so good. 

Girls Night Out with my favorites.  Callisto, Conifer’s, and then Scotch and Soda

Dad loves vintage cars and bought a 1950 Willis Jeep.  The coolest thing is that it belonged to one of his dear friends who passed away a while back.  I know he is so thrilled to have one of his classic cars.
