Hey, my friend, yes to enjoying the holidays! I love Christmas and I was ready early. :) So, I'm at the enjoying it all phase. Have a wonderful Christmas and congrats on your gift -- Number 30 is mind-blowingly amazing! New baby smell on it's way!
Oh, gosh, I donāt know about Christmas plans and cover ideas, but oh my goodness I could listen to funny farm animal stories all day! More of those tales for next Christmas goes on my wishlist! That was awesome š Thank you š
What a heartwarming Morning Coffee. Thank you! This Christmas season has been one of the best ever for me. . . We gave all of our kids an early Christmas present last Friday, which was also our oldest sonās birthday. We bought them tickets for the North Pole Limited, so all six kids (ours and our in-law kids) and all four grandsons ā with one more grandson on the way. Twelve of us piled into the tiny seats of a train car built in the early 1800s for a 90 minute journey to the North Pole to pick up the Clauses, the grandkids all sugared up with hot cocoa and chocolate chip cookies, each handed a set of large reindeer bells. What an absolute joy! Really really glad we did that. I loved hearing about your traditions. It has been a very good year, hasnāt it? Merry Christmas!
You have such a big heart!!! I know your 2025 will be creative and filled with everything you want! You got this!!!
ANN!!
...I hope you're having a fantastic holiday season?!
I'm so excited for 2025...and the treats that will be included.

This looks so incredible...and something I'd love to do for our kids and grandkids.
Hmmm. That's roughly $1800 just for my family tickets...then GETTING there....
Ah well, I'm gonna have to live through you for now (grin).
That sounds like the most magical holiday adventure I've heard yet!
Thank you for sharing =)
Not that extravagant, haha! This is the one in Campo, CA https://www.psrm.org/npl/
They drove there themselves, too.
But I guess it would be for a family your size!
