Athya, Lola, and Durie wish you all peace, love, and joy in the new year. Nollaig Chridheil!

Baby Durie is all tucked in this Christmas Eve, ready for Santa

Athya gathered his friends for a game of snowman bingo

About to have an elf revolt here. I’m making savory but they want the Buddy Elf variety.

Santa won’t come if you don’t believe

Stocking up on their favorite food group

What is it the Head Elf asked. Athya doesn’t know but he’s gonna hug him and love him and call him Jem.

Santa asked Athya and the reindeer to test out the sleigh before the big night next week

Athya’s hamming it up for y’all

Lola and Athya spent yesterday relaxing after a busy day partying on Saturday

A new friend! Athya’s gonna hug him and love him and call him George.

It’s party day! Athya and Lola helped make the cookies!

Durie got a lesson on traditions this morning

Good luck unwrapping this package on Saturday family ... Athya used a lot of tape! Oh, did I mention you have to wear oven mitts?

Lola is patiently waiting to see what treasure is behind the day 11 door on the L’OCCITANE advent calendar

No those are not rocks. Turns out Athya was helping prepare party games!

What in the world is that elf up to now?

Santa is always watching ...

Lola and Athya took a minute to admire Ashley’s stocking before she took it home last weekend

The UPS man came a knockin’ last night and look who came walking through the door, all the way from Georgia

Family, friends, puzzles and Hallmark movies. What more do you need?

Athya helped hang this ornament my sister made to honor our daddy on this first Christmas since we lost him

Feeding time for baby Durie

Uh oh, it’s already started. Athya found my secret stash of candy cane kisses.

Lola and Athya welcomed baby Durie overnight!
