New Years Eve

My in-laws are usually in town for New Years Eve, so since this year was an exception, we decided to make some new family memories and headed to the movies that afternoon for a matinee.
We were all excited to see Frozen Two...and the kiddos loaded up in bringing their blankets and stuffed animls.
Then we headed to Woodley's Garden Center where they had almost everything 39% off!  So we loaded up on a variety of things.
Then it was off to the new playground at Saluda Shoals...
When we got back home, we got our hands down and dirty with potting new plants.
Beach decided to trim down his coffee plant which he had since it was a baby.
Kids had some fun craft times...
and I got a nap. 
It was a beautiful evening so we took a little walk on the golf course.
and my Sweet brought me a flower.
We made chocolate banana "ice cream" for a yummy treat...
and played some board games.
Party time Netflix countdown...
complete with sparkling juice.
Cheers!
And that's a wrap (before midnight I might add)!
Way to end the decade...we are coming for ya 2020!

Christmas at the Hughes

After we finally got dressed from all the morning/afternoon Christmas fun, we headed over to my parents.  Yummy apps were a great start.
Kid table smiles!
My best attempt at getting all the adults in one shot!
Zoe always loves it when William and Lauren bring their dog as well.
Then the kids had their fun with presents...
Shiloh was instant that what she really wanted for Christmas was a large teddy bear...
Danielle went out on Thanksgiving day and was able to make that magic happen!
Beach didn't make it through the kid's opening presents before a nap was needed.
Then we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus, complete with cupcakes.
The kids put on their PJs and retired to watch a Christmas movie and we had our adult time.  
Sister love!
Beach felt quiet refreshed after his nap...
and coffee.
We draw names for present exchange.
I got Lauren this year, and loaded her down with some of my favorites...
Beach got a fresh new hat!
More Loveland love!
And Dad got a gorgeous picture of him and mom with all the grands!
Well, I say that made for a very full, very filled, amazing day of love and family!  Merry Christmas!
