ALWAYS REASONS TO CELEBRATE

 

Let's fall in love.....

with a brand new year...

I decided that my "word for 2024" is

CELEBRATE.....

Planning for a celebration means bringing those you love together.....

we have so much to be excited about and look forward to...

We celebrated the birthday of "gotcha day" with Otis

and Greg..two years to the day of adopting one another
in San Jose on New Year's Eve....

There was a New Year's Eve celebration down in
Horseshoe Bay, which has become a tradition for Nick and Catherine....
 

These beautiful girls celebrated being bridesmaids at their

friends wedding over in Arkansas.....

our sweet granddaughter is on the left....

We celebrated our adoption of Little Lucy back in July.....

We find ourselves at the beginning of a brand new year...

the chill of winter leaves us longing to curl up by the fire,

while a hearty meal is roasting in the oven.

I am thinking of a Chicken and Bacon Corn Chowder or perhaps,

Mother's Sunday Roast, followed by Chocolate Cake with

Raspberry Buttercream......

I want to celebrate on Sunday mornings and serve hot biscuits with jam...

Luke the Duke and the Divine Miss M will be visiting in February...
I plan on having a family Chilighetti night...
sipping a Spicy Margarita and enjoying an evening out
in the Stockyards.....

In October, our big event will be celebrating the wedding
of our only granddaughter to the love of her life, Brennan.....

In the months in between, just think of all the possibilities....
Easter and the Spring Season...
lunches on the patio..
followed by Summer and the afternoons
of swimming and naps......
The summer BBQ for the Fourth of July..
I can taste the homemade Cherry Limeades now.....
how refreshing to feel joy and anticipation of the newness of it all.....
