one last December recap ✨ I promised myself I wo one last December recap ✨ I promised myself I would soak up every second of this holiday magic with these boys (after a crazy fall) and I am so happy I was able to. In the midst of all the school parties and programs and the Santa pictures, there were reindeer pancakes and hand painted ornaments and memories I will truly cherish forever. And a rebel playoff game will not surprisingly go down as one of my favorite experiences (I think ever?! Soooo special). 🤍
