NYE 2025

Breezed right over NYE and on to snow days in January. I'm so out of order. But I'm also so very close to catching up on this blog! I'm afraid to make another list after the one that had me at 60 posts behind. Eek! Anyway, we're here to talk about New Year's Eve! And we celebrated with the Lars again, our favorite!

DIY Broach Momento

This was really fun and special to make. We added some bookshelves to our living room back in January and I've been working on styling just the way I like. I ran across this broach that my mom gave me after my mamaw passed. I remember wondering what I would do with it. When I found it, somehow the perfect idea popped in my head.

Snow Days 2026

I feel like the last few years that we've pretty consistently received a large snow event each winter. It's actually a whole lot more fun now that we live on a street where the kids can play and we can happy hour with friends we call neighbors. We also have friends and family who know how to drive so we feel a little less stranded. Now don't talk to me if we lose power, I'll be singing a different tune.

Kate Does the Orthodontist

She is so excited for her expander and then braces.. I never knew a kid could be this excited! We found out at a dentist appt a few months back that Kate has a tooth coming in but not enough room for it. So they sent us to the orthodontist and then thing I know, Kate has an expander and we're turning that guy every single night.

Rice Christmas Tree

I love this one so much! I don't usually post about work but I was so darn proud of this Christmas tree we made for the annual food drive. This year we took up money collections for people who didn't want to shop and we raised enough to buy a whole pallet full of big 50lb rice bags from Sam's Club. Which, if you didn't know, is Arkansas rice! And then we made it into a lovely Christmas tree with lights and little rice gifts beneath. Cutest little guy ever!! XOXO

 

Capitol Lighting 2025

One of our favorite things!! The holiday lighting at the capitol. We missed last year but went to Brian's office this year and we able to watch from the side view. It wasn't AS good but we had plenty of good company and delish hot cocoa from daddy's office. The girls always love it! We snapped this picture of them behind Justice Wood's desk to send her :)
