New Year's Eve!!!

 Last day of 2023!!!

I have been walking up to the cafe in the morning to get a cup of coffeee, the coffee in the room is just not good and there are these beautiful flowers all over the resort.

We spent the entire day at the pool just haning out.

The water in the pool was so cold!!

It took a bit to get in but once you did it felt great.

Everyone got ready for dinner and the kids took a million pictures before hand.

The sunet that evening was beautiful!

After dinner the resort was hosting a New Year's Party

After midnight the place cleaned out a bunch and the girls made their way to the stage and tried to take over the DJ stand.  They were successful for a bit till they got kindly asked to get down! 

Elevator selfie on the way back to our rooms.

2023 you were full of high highs and low lows!

Grateful for the memories, lessons, and experiences you brought.

The view from our room!

I have never heard such loud and powerful waves in my life but it is so pretty

Dinner time

We did the hibachi grill for dinner

After dinner we went to the bar on the top of one of the buildings and had a few drinks before calling it an early night.

A little bit of this and that...

Someone is obsessed with microphones right now and is quite the vibe!

YAY!  FINALLY got started on the lake house!!!

Ran some errands with this cutie

The girls convinced me to watch a movie with them and it was AWFUL!

So bad that Taylor fell asleep in the middle of it and Kendall and I had our mouths open and had no words by the end of it.  Honestly can't even remember the name of it, that bad!

Vacation prep!

Cafeteria workers or getting a spray tan?!?!? 

CHRISTMAS

Taylor saws this Christmas tree napkin folding on TikTok and sent me so we made them.

 I didn't have any red ribbon but I still think they turned out cute and honestly pretty simple to do.

I made Brown Butter Christmas Crack cookies which were insanely good! 

Christmas Eve service

Sat with the Buchanan's and had to take our annual kids pic

My favorite part of the service! 

After church we picked up Vaqueros for dinner and went to Mimi & Poppy's.

Kendall convinced Poppy to let her squeeze cool in his mouth!

Then it was home and the elf left the girls a present

Matching PJ's of course!!

Christmas morning Santa brought Ryan some new Jordan's 

Kendall sent me this recipe from TikTok that is suppose to look like a Christmas tree but I was not so successful but it still tasted yummy.

Gotta love Taylor's wrapping creativity! 

The aftermath!!!

The Jones' came over late afternoon for dinner and fun.

Snowman veggie app

They broke out the speaker and microphone and proceeded to sing and dance for the next few hours!

Naturally Ryan had to get in on it!

I had some cheesy Christmas games for them to play.

It was a great days filled with friends and family celebrating!
