Messy Cookie Making

Life has gotten so busy & our kids are growing up so fast. I’m realizing that I’ve stopped doing so many of the fun simple things that I did with them when they were younger. I need to be better about slowing down to soak in the simple moments. This weekend was full of messy cookie making, fun walks through the neighborhood & lots of nonscheduled time.
Hoping for many more of these simple moments this year. ❤️

Arby's Christmas Glasses

Early in our marriage, Ryan’s mom gave all of her kids a set of cute Christmas glasses. Ryan loved them & I just assumed they were a treasured family heirloom. We carefully packed them for each move we’ve made over the years & have kept them stored in a cabinet in our kitchen. A few years back, I was moving the glasses & noticed that they said “Arby’s” on the bottom. When I asked Ryan, he nonchalantly replied that his mom had gotten them at Arby’s. I laughed knowing how carefully I had protected these coveted Arby’s glasses. 

About a month ago, Maeli asked if she could have a “fancy” Christmas party with her friends using the special Christmas glasses. So we planned a night of dinner, a gift exchange & games for her friends…featuring the Arby’s Christmas glasses. Getting to spend a night with Maeli & her friends was easily one of the highlights of our Christmas season!

Special shoutout to Mary McFarlane and Arby's for inspiring our tween Christmas party this year!
