Christmas To New Years

Christmas was amazing this year, especially knowing the magic still exists within Will. Drew asked Santa for a Salah jersey, Ady a Yumiko leotard and Will a new bike along with a ton of other things.  

Derek decided to sous vide this year instead of purchasing the Christmas meat and it was DELISH. We had the best ham with a bourbon glaze and also some yummy steak. 

Derek and I jetted off to Belize 2 days after Christmas (post coming soon on that) and left the kiddos with Derek's parents for 5 days with my parents handling the last 2 days. Drew had a gift exchange with friends and they all celebrated NYE together. 

Christmas Things

It's the BEST month of the year. There's just magic everywhere and with one believer still left we leaned into it fully. 

These are a bit out of order but here we were at Christmas Eve Service.

Lots of family time...

A few days before Christmas Gramma and Poppa rented a super nice golf cart to go around their neighborhood to look at lights...

Our annual Polar Express party for the little ones...

So many movie nights...

Our annual golf cart ride to see our lights...

And, of course, gingerbread house decorating...

The last day of school was full of parties and friend time...

And, of course, a doctors visit because both of the littles as well as mom came down with something that lingered a while...
