Merry Christmas Eve

Loved being in church with some of my people. Missed the ones who couldn’t make it. Christmas Eve service is always one of my favorites!

We made a stop to see Nana for Christmas pics. Then home to open that one surprise pj present :)

Christmas Magic

All is merry and bright!!

Love our House

G has it looking so cute! And we got to see some good old fashioned Christmas singing and dancing this weekend! And we gave Lucas and Autumn a little early present to make and enjoy as well…. Here comes Christmas ready or not :)

Christmas Light Night

We ventured to Gainesville for a night of lights and Christmas fun!

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving isn’t just a day on the calendar…

it’s a thousand little moments

that remind us what really matters.

It’s the sound of someone you love

laughing in the kitchen,

the warmth of a hug you didn’t know you needed,

the sight of people gathering in a world

that so often pulls us apart.

It’s the quiet prayer whispered over the meal—

for the ones at the table,

the ones we miss,

and the ones we hope to hold again someday.

It’s babies toddling around the living room,

grandparents telling stories we’ve memorized,

and grown children coming home

to the place that still feels like home.

It’s mismatched plates,

burnt rolls,

too many desserts,

and one room full of people

trying their best in a life that moves too fast.

It’s choosing to be present,

to slow down,

to look around the table and think,

“This. This is what I’m thankful for.”

Because someday these will be

the moments you ache to relive—

the noise,

the chaos,

the love,

the togetherness.

So take it in.

All of it.

The imperfect, beautiful, ordinary magic

of a day built on gratitude.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends.

May your hearts be full and your table even fuller. 🍁🧡

Had to post from our first Thanksgiving together…
