Birthdays Things and Bogey's

On Drew's birthday he had school so we celebrated by opening gifts later on and enjoying some french silk pie per his request! 

 

Then a couple of days later we went to a restaurant when Gramma and Poppa could join. He chose Italian food and it was yummy! The only picture I snapped was of Poppa and his snugglebug.  :)

Then he got to take his brand new golf bag from Gramma, Poppa and Uncle Bean out on the course at his golf tournament. We made a family outing of the event and me and the little rode in the golf cart! 

Our guy placed 3rd place and got a medal! 

We took Drew's buddies to an indoor water park for his birthday and they had a blast! 

American Girl Doll Store

One of Ady's Christmas gifts was a visit to the American Girl Doll store and bistro in Dallas with her buddy. Her doll, Adeline, also got her hair done as well as ears pierced! The girls had a blast and the adorable lunch was the icing on the cake!

Wrapping up 2022

The kids have always love watching Poppa tinker in his area...

This was our most magical tree ever. We get real trees and our fir this year was almost 10' tall!

We visited a restaurant with Gramma and Poppa that had CRAZY amounts of Holiday decor!

U2 cover band with some friends...

NYE was lowkey with some friends eating food and playing games. We did a balloon drop for the kiddos also!

Christmas Day

Once again it was magical and amazing and stressful and quick. Just how it always plays out and is why it's my favorite day of the year. We hosted both sides for our meal and it was loud and chaotic and just the best. Here are some pictures....
