Annual Christmas shopping with Bop! We have added hot chocolate at Summer Moon into the rotation!
Noni & Bop took the boys to the mall to look at cologne & then took them to eat at Craven Wings.
UT game, thanks to our neighbors.
We also took Graham, Hunter & Nelson-fun night.
Biggest fans at their games!
Love when our middle school worlds collide!
Just waiting in the loooooong car line with this kid in the morning.
Every now & then I try with the Elf.
Just a Bines.
So deserving.
1st day of the Elf-calendars, shirts, Moose mugs from National Lampoons & Jingle Jangle.
Someone made this book for me and it is so cute.
4th year of Cruze Farm & the big tree with the cousins! It was cold and chaotic, but always fun.
Truly so grateful for these cousins and that we figure out how to make all of the things work, even with crazy schedules.
Cookie decorating.
Max made a giant "meatsicle."
Elf cookies the night we watched Elf.
Lot of togetherness over the break.
On our way to Nicole's for Christmas Eve. We had lunch and opened presents & hung out and it was really fun, as always, Moose loves being able to tag along. Teddy did a sing along on his little keyboard, which was hilarious. Non had fun games for everyone and Bop did a puzzle. Noni bought us all robes/pj pants, which my family loves. I brought Teddy a little volcano.
Christmas Eve at GG's-gag gifts, shrimp boil and so much fun. The "Curtis Fruitcake coasters" were my favorite part.
Christmas Morning-A was SO surprised about his Apple AirPods Max headphones & Max loved his new F7 helmet. Anderson was excited about more clothes and Max was about fishing gear! The sleeper gift was the chicken leg socks. Brandon got a new watch & some clothes and I got clothes & a new purse and various other things. It was a really great morning.
Christmas morning at GG's! Full of MORE thoughtful gifts, delicious breakfast and family time. GG got a personalized football jersey, the boys got a ton of clothes & fishing gear (for Max) and gift cards.
Making waffles and gingerbread houses.
Noni & Bop got a TV and were so surprised/excited. Brandon got to put it together.
Annual Christmas night fondue!
Lot of lounging, cooking, playing Fortnite, hanging with friends over the break.
Dinner with Noni/Bop & Teddy.
They really spent a lot of time together.
We went to Dollywood on the WORST day ever. They brought friends (Brendan Kutz & Hunter Jenkins.) It was so packed that all of the lots were full. It was crazy.
Even though we split up, they managed to end right next to each other in line for The Eagle.
Max made the most of it!
We did manage to get pretzels.
Dinner in the car on the way home since the wait was so long everywhere.
I wrapped 100 staff shirts to give GMS crew on our first day back.
NYE with John Long & Matthew Rogers. Brandon had to work.
Happy 2025!
