Christmas 2025

We had a great Christmas this year. The kids slept in until 7, I think I woke up before them, that was definitely a first LOL

I forgot to buy Radley his big bone this year. We had to settle on his frozen treat. It did not work as well as the bone 

had to have a mimosa 

Gabe and Michelle hosted this year

Vincint loves his meat 

playing the dice game 

We also celebrated Gabe's 40th and Dominics 4th birthday 

 after we got home, we watched Stranger Things together 

Christmas Eve

This Christmas Eve felt so different. We started this renovation at the holidays since we all have some time off but its been more work than we had anticipated! I know it will all be worth it but it's been a lot. We woke up and got right to painting 

It poured rain all day and we discovered a leak in Holden's window 

I didn't have time to do all my usual baking, but the girls made some easy treats 

They opened their Christmas Eve boxes 

our annual Christmas eve picture. We had to get Radley in there. We did not think he would make it to the holidays, and we are so happy he is still with us 

The kids made some gingerbread houses 

before dinner we had a nice facetime with gramma and poppa. I forgot to take pictures this year. We got the very sad news that Shane's dad Harry had a massive heart attack and passed away. So hard to be this far away but glad we could have a little facetime visit.

we made our snowman pizzas for dinner

the kids wanted to open uncle Mike and auntie DJ's gift 

the kids set up their Santa sacks 

they still like to have a sleepover on Christmas Eve 

proofing some croissants for the morning 

 Santa was here
