Christmas 2024

Festivities began with Benny's band concert. We also had a work Xmas party and the Masuds annual Ugly Sweater party.

Christmas Eve Tradition...

candlelight service with our friends.

Christmas morning at home.

Addy painted this beautiful picture of our favorite cat for Josh.

Then to Mimi's house we go for more fun.

Addy spent many hours making this blanket for Joyce.

Josh and Aaron especially loved putting together the new family computer we got for Christmas.

Aaron's 1st solo drive to his friend Cam's house.

Jackson got in early decision to Clemson University!!!

Since the kids had so much time off school, we decided to go to the beach! It was our 1st time exploring the panhandle in Seaside Beach near Destin, Florida!!

The boys LOVED playing spikeball!

Glad they're not too old to build sand castles.

We finally used the Melting Pot gift cerificate we got from the Neville's last year. It was so much fun!!

We biked some pretty trails nearby.

Benny kept things exciting by going through even the deep puddles.

Blessed with a beautiful day.

There was even a pickleball court in the neighborhood.

Our rental included a golf cart to get around.

Addy and I enjoyed exploring the area on bike.

The kids had gyros for the 1st time, then we went to the beach for sunset. I'm officially the shortest.

Always worth it.

We even came back for the fireworks!

After the show, we ran into our friends from Chicago!! I LOVED having these amazing gals as friends before and during the first 8 years of motherhood. We lived through so many 1sts together. I miss them.
