Beach Trip to see the Johnson's

My sis and Eric's family were at the beach this week so the kids and I drove over to Lincoln City for the day to hang out with them. 

The beach is truly our happy place!

Matthew loved hanging with Uncle Eric.. and Stella of course!

Abby doing what she does best...haha! Love her!

Evelyn and her beloved Aunt Michelle...

Love these people so much!!

Silly kids..

Helping with a mega puzzle..

We wish we could have stayed longer but so enjoyed our time with the Johnson family!!

Peacock Lane

We got out to Peacock Lane tonight and had a lovely time together looking at the pretty lights. 

This one would have been perfect if I would have gotten everyone in the shot...sigh...

Thankful for family time with these guys!! 

Christmas Day 2019

Merry Christmas!! 

We had a lovely day celebrating Jesus' birthday!

Here are a few snipits of our day...

Matthew in his new chair for his room. It came with a football pillow. Of course. 

Calendars for both... huge hits!

Evelyn got bluetooth speakers with a strobe light attachement... she was super excited!

Stockings are their favs... :) 

We surprised them with a "family gift" of a Disney Plus subscription. They are SO excited.. and I am, too!! :) 

This one never naps... but he's been sick and still trying to catch up. A nap before his cousins came over was what he needed!

We love our time with these guys!!

The next morning was spent in the basement, with Matthew working on his new lego sets and Evelyn having a dance party with her new bluetooth speaker that has disco lights with it!

It was a very Merry Christmas, indeed!

Christmas Eve 2019

Our Christmas Eve was cozy and lovely. Not to crazy but super fun, too. We headed to church early as we were helping with the candle lighting during the service. 

                                  All dressed up and looking fine!                                   

Love these sweet friends of Ev's!

After church we headed to mom and Doug's to celebrate with my side of the family.

Grandpa Doug's dip is a huge hit.. every time!

Cole and Matthew

Ev and Regan

Cousins!

Lots of good fun had by all. Thankful for my family, especially for my mom who always is the best hostess!!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Mom and Pa's Christmas Concert

Doug's folks were part of a multi-church Christmas Choir this year, and we got to go to Salem tonight to see them perform. It was a lovely concert!

Aren't the the cutest? Thankful for them and so fun to see them embracing retirement with gusto!!
