Jingle Bells!

 Tis the Season 2024

 

I do love our holiday traditions and I can always count on Lylah to catch the holiday fever just like I do!

This season, we did the favorites, like going to see holiday lights with Lylah and her man friend Colton 😊. Both kids helped to make Xmas cookies this year and Juliette and Brady did some fun cookie decorating at the house.

We even got all four of us to watch a movie together around Jon’s Bday!! (Gladiator Part 1!) and before he took off for his two week trek to Patagonia.

As always, the highlight of the season is going to Grandmama and Grandbob’s to celebrate the season. We enjoyed great weather, golf cart driving, bocce ball, some good movies, great food, a few games and church. Best part of the trip was seeing Gma and Gbob dance together !!!!

My parent’s house is always a place of rest, relaxation, comfort, security, safety and peace for me. I love going there and always feeling “at home”.

And it was nice to see my mom feeling good overall, although she still gets very tired.

Once we got back, Brady lived his best life with a guys trip to Breck (Jace’s parents place) and then a trip to Utah with Juliette after New Year’s.

Lylah had (what seemed to me!) a very fun New Year’s with three other great friends who all have similar interests. They played games, laughed and laughed, ate good food and made vision board. Loved seeing them have fun, get along and just laugh!

For Brady, this New Year’s brought out some things he wants to work on in 2025. I am super proud of him for speaking up, asking for help and addressing his issues.  This is his last semester of high school so I think things are going to move so quickly now!!! I am holding onto every minute I can!

And for Lylah… she enjoyed some relaxation, friend time and a break from school but is diving back into second semester of Sophomore year.

I am thankful for each year I get to spend with both of my amazing kids. They truly make my world a special place!
