Christmas 2025

Christmas came way too fast this year, we all weren't ready for it! I went to Christmas Eve service by myself, it's one of my favorite things all year, and it didn't disappoint. As always, we went to Grandma's house for Christmas Eve dinner to meet up with the rest of the family. I had the boys for Christmas Day this year, so I was able to take them home after dinner, and get ready for Santa! Christmas morning went by in a flash, but the boys enjoyed their gifts and I loved watching them opening them. We met up with Katie's other side of the family in the afternoon at Katie's sister's house. Both boys were exhausted on the way home and used me as a pillow (Katie was driving)...haha. We had a great Christmas!

Cookies with GG and Wes

The boys' great-grandparents invite them every year to decorate cookies, and I love this little tradition of theirs. GG and I made the cookies, and while the shapes didn't turn out too well, everyone still enjoyed decorating them. Finn would decorate one cookie, then eat it, then decorate another, eat it again, rinse and repeat. The sugar high is kicking in... We had such a great morning with them, and I hope the boys will have the opportunity for memories like these with them for years to come.

Christmas at the train park

For the last few years the boys didn't want to go to the Christmas event at the train park anymore, and I was sad that our days for this were over. Surprisingly when we went to visit the park during the day a few weeks ago, I asked them one more time if they wanted to go for the Christmas lights, and they both said yes! This was a fun parenting moment. We had driven to the park about 25 minutes, and then realized that Finn didn't bring any shoes. So if you look really closely, you'll see he had to go with socks...haha.  We got some treats and boarded the train! This kid is full of funny expressions. We all enjoyed seeing the lights on the train. No personality at all...haha. After the train ride, we went into the miniature train museum and got some food. It was a great night, even without shoes!

Caribbean Cruise Day 8: Back to Miami

The next day we were ready to leave the boat, but not before we got some Starbucks! We had a few hours to spare before our flight so we went on an Alligator swamp tour with the boys. They were able to hold baby alligators before we got on the boat. We only saw this one lonely alligator, but it was still a fun tour. We all had a great trip, but there's nothing better than coming home!
