Lights & Lego’s
Unfortunately, I had to go back to work today, but the sky on the way there was absolutely insane! It was just barely misting, but it was so. orange.

Yardbirds
Hey, I’m back! I took a much-needed two whole days to rest and reset after all the chaos of Christmas day, and the days leading up to it. Most of Friday and Saturday was spent on the couch, with very little else going on. The girls spent those two days playing in the backyard, just like wildlings back in the 90’s. But then Saturday night, we finally saw Nana & PopPop for the first time in over a month, and did Christmas with them at their house! Oh also, one of Jeff’s twin boys, Gabe, is here with us for a few days!

Christmas Day 2025
Unfortunately, Jeff and I are always procrastinators when it comes to all the Christmas prep. So even though we did quite a bit on Tuesday, we still had a lot to finish up last night, so it was past midnight when we finally checked off all the boxes. But everything looked so great when we finally made it to bed! (And although the boys weren’t with us this year, and we didn’t put anything in their stockings, we still wanted to lay them out with the family!)

Christmas Eve 2025
Since the Governor gave all State workers the day off, Jeff ended up being able to spend the day with us! So we decided to take the girls to see Santa, and then to the Chick-fil-A with the play place, since we’re not usually on that side of town.

A Dancer & A Princess
The girls and I stayed home all day today, on what my dad calls “Christmas Adam” (because Adam came before Eve), and had a great day together. Cereal for breakfast, a little bit of cleaning up for me, lots of playing and costumes for the girls, and a nice long shower for me. We had lunch, and then went outside into the front yard for a long time. They attempted the “airplane” move over and over again, and although they never really nailed it, they had tons of fun trying!

Alexa, Where Are You?
Short, quick post tonight, after a very chill day… The girls and I spent the majority of the day with Grandmommie. Emerson helped her get some of her Christmas presents wrapped, and Addison and I just kind of hung out. I love my mom’s little coffee station, and may have fixed myself up a cup or two throughout the day.

A Very GC Christmas
This morning was such a big day at church for our kiddos, especially Emerson! She did such an amazing job with her solo, and I was so proud of her. She reached over to grab my hand about halfway through the song, and I had to think of anything else going on so that I didn’t start crying while singing. It was just such a sweet moment!

Golden Tree
Made some egg sandwiches for breakfast today, and this little cutie watched my every move, and even helped me out with a few little things. She was just being so, so sweet!

Winter Wonderland
We did it! We finally made it to Christmas break. After a week of parties, gifts for friends, gifts for teachers, gifts for coworkers, food for work parties, “trinkets” for school stockings, two totally different dress-up week schedules for the two different schools, cooking dinner three times, church one night, packing lunches for me and Addie every day, and a partridge in a pear tree… But we’re here, and I’m off the entire week of Christmas, so hopefully we can have a nice, slow, holiday week together next week.

Beginner Kettlebell
When I went in to wake up the girls this morning, I found Emerson had crawled down into Addison’s bed with her at some point in the night. They were so stinking cute sleeping together, with Addie’s hand slung over on her sister’s face.
