…and to all a good night. 🎄♥️

We’ve been in the throes of “twixmas”, the relaxing, cozy time in between Christmas and new years when we enjoy sleeping in, eating what we want, staying in our cozy clothes, enjoyed the ambiance from the Christmas tree lights, and spending time together.

This is my favorite time of year… it’s always the hardest to go back to our regular schedule, but we wouldn’t change a thing.

Happy ‘twixmas! ♥️♥️

Santa has been visited. ♥️🎅🏼♥️

For most, Santa is a symbol of joy and magic during the holiday season. For us, he represents so much more.

For the past 12 years, we’ve visited this same Santa, year after year. He has become more than just the man in the red suit; he’s a constant in our lives, a part of our story. There was only one year we almost didn’t make it.

Nine years ago, our Paisley was so sick, we didn’t know if she would make it to Christmas. We saw Santa early that year—before Thanksgiving. When he asked our kids what they wanted for Christmas, Mackenzie and Jackson didn’t hesitate. Their answer was simple, pure, and heartbreaking: “We just want a heart for our sister.”

Santa and I both cried that day.

The very next morning, we got the call. Our beloved cardiologist told us the news we had been praying for—there was a heart. Paisley was going to get her miracle.

Every year since, we visit this same Santa, and every year he is a reminder of the miracle we witnessed. He greets Paisley with a smile, marvels at how beautiful and grown she’s become, and calls her what she truly is: an answer to prayer.

And we agree. Because we know.

This Santa is more than Christmas magic to us. He’s a reminder of hope, faith, and the miracles that still happen.
