This year We were really able to focus on Sams birthday for a change on Christmas Day.

We found some perfect decorations in the bedroom closet ( Shannon’s parents own the houses we stayed in - so nice!) so we were festive.

For several months Sam has asked for a  Tomahawk for his birthday. Dad aims to please so he called cousin Norm the butcher to have him cut them special for us. We brought them down from Indiana and Grandpa Darrin and DH grilles them up perfect in charcoal.

He ate an entire steak and he was not disappointed- it hit the spot perfect!

He opened a couple nice gifts money always get a grin and the card was funny 😆

For memory sake, we got Sam a Titlest hat and golf leasons for the spring.

My goodness we are so thankful for this 14 year old. 
He has brought us much joy and a few eye rolls along the way. He is  handsome, smart, athletic and so soft spoken - he has a tender heart. His cousin Quinn might well be his favorite person. We are so thankful to celebrate him.

Florida Christmas 🎄 🌴

This kid keeps us rolling. 
Christmas Eve Grandma gave the kids their presents from her. She made them all PJ pants - they are fuzzy and warm. As you can also tell Joe found some cash tucked in his - silly.

I packed a small gift for each boy and a stocking of items we would consume while we were there to help the packing back home. It was a fun way to wake up!

Their treats were ok the end of a fishing pole and they gave it to Joe no prob but tricked Tyson right after making it hard to get his price! Lol 
It lasted over an hour - good times
