Capping off a big year!

My annual END of the year post is HERE! I mean...my goodness this year has flown!

WOW, 2024 was a good one! BIG birthdays happened in the Law home, I mean 13 and 16! BIG changes happened too! We had all the things...made all the memories and can count 2024 as a year that we are thankful for!

Here's to 2025 and I pray that my little family and I continue to have faith in Him that no matter what the new year brings, that we make it through and count our blessings.

Let's look back!

January!

Since Lex has been on Varsity, they just have not been able to take County! Now......they have gone on to win Regionals and even STATE!.............but this year!..............they took it! HUGE win and game over Oxford! Finally!

Also in January....

1st runner up Miss Golden Eagle! OH, its lovely to watch her up on that stage!

February!

Lex had her first official DD Semi! She had a blast with her DD friends!

March!

Another year...but SO proud with it being her Sophomore year...Academic Honors awards!

When the weather is perfection....and we have our first ride as a family together! My MOST favorite thing to do!

April!

Alot happened in April!

WAKE up CALL that now Lily is able to DRIVE all by herself now! NO longer in her Daddy's lap!

Tyler and his friends enjoyed The Master's for the 1st time! He is hooked!

First official date to Elite Night!

Quinn and Lex

FOR the first time...Lily tried a new sport!

TRACK star!

Last for April but certainly NOT least! Lily got BRACES!

May!

I mean....first time running track....makes it to STATE..............and conquers 3rd place! I mean UNREAL!

Alexis and her very first actual paying JOB!

June!

THIS girl shined at her Junior year cheer camp....with FOR SURE making All-American again too!

Lily went to her very first Church camp for a week with her best friend, Lauren! They had a blast!

It was also the first time she has been away for a whole week!

Alexis was selected for the very 1st 'Lucky Duck' honor award for cheer! It was voted on by the coaches for someone who defines kindness and leadership! SO proud!

July!

Another big month!

LEX turned 16! I know...say what!?!

This crew had the best time on a 'girls' night out' with shopping, dinner and spending the night at Ross Bridge!

Then I hosted a big birthday dinner for the birthday girl full of friends and family!

I mean...16...and a car!

We always love visiting with this crew, so a SUPER highlight for July!

August!

School back in the groove................and we have a first TIME highschooler! BOY was she SO excited!

Lex kicked off her Junior year football season!

September!

Lily decided to do ANOTHER something NEW! Cross Country!

First time going to the beach in September and with this crew! It was AWESOME!

Next up.....

WE have a new TEEN!

Yep, Lily turned 13!

I took this crew to have a fun day in Bham with dinner, shopping, and THIS!

And had a fun 'surprise' dinner with friends and family to kick off her 13th!

October!

Lily's first high school Homecoming dance! So gorgeous!

Tyler competed in his first Strong One competition and got 2nd place!

I mean...KILLING the Cross Country thing! The team came in 2nd at County and she got All-County team!

November!

Sectional CHAMPIONS! I am just amazed that this is her first year running and she is killing it! Because of her run time, that sealed the team to have top 5 to WIN!

I mean....KEEPS on going for STATE with Alexis! I mean 5A STATE Runner up! WHOO HOO!

December!

Making memories with family and looking forward to all the end of the year fun that is coming with Christmas and New Years with family and friends!

Our girl's day!

 I mean...two little girls..........have my heart and I just loved that we got to spend the day with them!

Alexis was able to shadow and see what all Maggie's appointments looked like, today, since she is thinking of going that route as her career. I loved that she got the opportunity to do it and spend time and see how much Maggie is progressing!

Meanwhile, Lily and I got to take Reese on a 'fun day!' She picked what we did and we enjoyed getting our nails done (well, Lily and Reese did...ole Momma, yeah, I didnt) :) shopping and then lunch back with everyone once appointments were over! We also go to see Meg and Chase's new home too!

It was a great B'ham day!

Getting ready to have a fun day!

Partners for the day!

And these two partners too!

This girl pointed immediately to what she wanted and didnt change her mind once from ALL those choices!

Reese was in awe! It was only her 2nd time to get her nails done and she just smiled and smiled! 

I mean SO proud and excited!

Two nails done girls!

We love Meg's new house!

Meanwhile this was Alexis with Maggie! Getting to understand what the Speech therapist/feeding specialist does with Maggie to help her learn to chew and eat better! So awesome! 

We had lunch with Mal and LaLa before heading home! It was a great day!

Call him cat man!

 I mean....

he didnt want the cats.................

for SURE doesnt help with ANYTHING concerning them....................

like doesnt even feed them or is concerned about it...unless he happens to hear Aubie meowing (like he specifically does when he wants attention...and food) then he yells for Lily to come do it.

BUT.............

I mean...

LOOK at this!

Just pitiful.............that they both love him like they do! :)

Our Christmas light tradition!

 Always love this night! We are in our comfy clothes and we go get a treat at Dugger Mountain, blast Elvis (specifically White Christmas so we can hear Tyler sing it) and ride around looking at Christmas lights!

Well, that is just what we did Wednesday night! ONLY problem is......we left to get to Dugger before they closed only to see their sign that they closed early. So...no Dugger. Then we decided to go to our favorite Mexican restaurant, since we were there, and THEY were CLOSED too.............

so....we ended up at another Mexican place...(which didnt disappoint) and then went through the McDonalds drive thru for treats...and then we headed to the 'Christmas house' and then drove around looking at lights!

Though the tradition changed a little this year, we still had a great time and memories were made!

Our annual car ride picture! :)

Always a great show and a favorite at Christmas to see!

Cheer Christmas fun!

 It worked out that on the same night as Lily's friend Dirty Santa dinner, Alexis had her cheer Christmas party. 

Reese ended up spending the night with us...and Alexis ended up spending the night with some of her cheer friends after, so they both carried on the fun!

Today as I type this, both girls.........(and Reese is still here) have not made a peep because yeah, no sleep was had (which I will never understand) but they are now exhausted. :) Made for a very relaxing and quiet day today for me! :) 

Love seeing these girls having fun!

Dirty Santa-Lily style!

 Lily has been waiting for this day....for a couple of weeks now!

Last night, it finally came!

A good bit of her friends were not able to come due to allll the busy things with everyone but the ones that did, they had a great time!

Mrs. Sara and I enjoyed dinner and chatting while watching the girls do Dirty Santa and have fun eating and chatting with each other!

It was a great evening!

Such a sweet group of girls!.................that are in full teen mode and still 'silly' too...! :)

A merry work day!

 We are FINISHED with work and on Christmas break................once today ends! ha!

We had a great Christmas lunch, hosted by the President, and it was great to see all the JSU staff and enjoy a fun day with everyone!

Most of our crew ready to EAT! ha!

ALWAYS love my Leah!

To add more to our day!

 I mean......we for SURE thought our day couldnt have more in it.......Misty calls and we do a late night food run and then hit the Oxford Festival of Lights!

Perfect way to end a great Christmas filled day!

We gave these two their birthday gifts............since they are now the big 9! I mean WOW at 9 already!

And ended the busy day with this....my favorite part of the lights!
