**Christmas 2023 Recap** {1.10.2024}
Today is a long post, but I’m sharing all about our Christmas events and gatherings. I had to work all the way until Friday, December 22nd. It was a teacher workday and thankfully, we were able to leave right around lunchtime. There was a cute, little Christmas German Market setup in our town. So, we met up with Whitley’s family and had a great time. It was so much fun and lots of things for the kids to do too! Santa was there also! It was a great hit! Unfortunately, a lot of sickness hit some of our family this year, and we didn’t get to celebrate together. We were…

**Santa Christmas Pictures** {12.20.2023}
Today, I’m sharing pictures from our sweet Santa session(s). Ha! If you remember, when we went to our original time, Joey wasn’t able to make it because he was stuck at work. Booo! So, we reserved two sessions. Good grief! Settle in guys… these are some of my favorite things. And then these are from when Joey made it to the second session with all of us. I feel like I look very tired in these. Probably because I am. Hahaha! Merry Christmas from the Hughes family! I will see you all back here on Friday! It will be my last post of 2023. xo Thank you to Amazon and…

**Friday Favorites** {12.15.2023}
Happy Friday friends!! Did ya’ll have a fun-filled week? Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. Monday, we got home from school and Addison wanted to play outside. I told her she had to bundle up. She comes outside like this. lol Monday night consisted of Gingerbread construction. It’s a favorite time around here. I think more candy was consumed that put on the house. Tuesday, Addison was looking extra ‘Joy’ful, so I snapped a picture once we got to school. We didn’t have basketball on Tuesday, but we did have dance. So, we quickly left dance, headed home to change,…

**Christmas Books** {12.14.2023}
Today’s post is all about some Christmas reading! Now is the time to cozy up by the fire, under a blanket, sip hot cocoa and read a good book. There are some books I have already read or am currently reading. Most of them right now have an extra coupon you can clip, so they’re a great deal! I’m currently reading The Christmas Fix. It’s a fun, little read by one of my favorite authors, Lucy Score. She’ll save Christmas just to spite him… There’s only one thing standing in the way of Cat King saving Merry, Connecticut’s Christmas festival: Grumpy town manager Noah Yates. Single dad Noah takes his responsibilities…

**Friday Favorites** {12.8.2023}
Happy Friday!! How’s everyone doing today? Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. We have had an eventful week but nothing too exciting to document. Mom came to get some things one evening, so Addison wanted to show her the slime she got from Elfie. All the Elf festivities have been favorites. A beautiful cotton candy sky was a favorite. Joey’s Dad and Christy picked up Addison on Wednesday to take her to dinner and shopping. She had a little game with Buddy the Elf of using him as a punching bag. I got a new monitor this week, and I…
