How it started and how it ended!

 I mean talk about drastic! ha!

How December started.............(which was amazing and so fabulous!)

To how the month of December ended................. (I would say, the month of December...just cant be beat!)

Ringing in the new year!

 We had the best trip, as usual, with some of our favorite people!

We hit the beach and enjoyed it all the way down to the sunset!

LOVE this picture!

What it is all about!

We cooked in and played games the rest of the night. SO fun!

I mean...Pictionary never disappoints!

I mean...never!

The next day was the coldest so we enjoyed a fun breakfast and hanging around the house while the kids played, etc before going to the Shard Shop. We have done this one time before and it is awesome. All of theirs turned out SO good!

Alexis did a butterfly! Im telling you...gorgeous with the final product!

Lily did a starfish and same. So pretty! We headed back and went to a fun dinner at Louis Louis to finish out our fun day!

The next day!...............a mid day treat before picking up their art and then some shopping before heading back and having a fun NEW YEARS eve!

Always fun to have New Years with this crew!

We rang in the new year strong and enjoyed our trip!

We got up New Years day and headed home....to tons of laundry! ha!

The kids always love to play and do scavenger hunts. It is always so fun to watch them and how they are paired. If you can see, Alexis was with Calhoun and then Lily was with Camille. Madelyn and Cassell were the other team. They love making videos and doing this together! I love how they are all like brothers and sisters. Their bond is so great. We love them all and had a great trip!

Rounding out our 2025 year with the beach!

 We always love taking off to warm weather...ocean waves and all the things after Christmas so thats exactly what we did!

The weather was perfection while we visited Aunt Pam and surprised and had lunch with LaLa but then turned pretty cold the rest of our trip with the Messers and Rays, but it wasnt too terrible enough for us to not enjoy our time!

We got down to visit Aunt Pam and then enjoyed this sunset/view while we relaxed and let Charly catch his ball! We enjoyed a yummy dinner and spending time with them on our 1st afternoon!

We got up and headed to the beach before heading to Fort Pickins! The Marine layer was thick at first but the weather was beautiful and it cleared quickly!

I have never been to a fort before so it was really neat to see it all!

To walk around and know that this all was active in the 1800's was just wild!

We did a hike to see the Eagles nest and ended with THIS view! Ahhh!!!

And then after our full day, this was the view of another fun dinner! We love Navarre, Pensacola, Gulf Breeze!

We got up on Monday and headed to shopping and then brunch with LaLa! So fun! After alllll the shopping we headed to the Messers to finish out our fun trip!
