Family Christmas 2024!!

And Christmas season is here!
Which means Bob Thomas (our elf) has arrived!
Picking out our tree at the one and only Lowes! After a day with all the things, we made it to the Garden Center at like 8:30. It was all closed down. Ben "netted" our tree in the "employees only" section. Our kiddos completely embarrassed. And our neighbor Miss Kathy checked us out and made everyone feel better! :)
Drew found our tree this year!


Dear Santa...
