Kicking off the New Year

2025 was off to a great start, because I got to kick off the new year with one of my all-time favorite activities: visiting the monthly Canton Trades Days with my mom and brother Ben! It was a relatively sparse market, but we still enjoyed the beautiful weather and exploring all the booths for some post-Christmas deals. There were some funny displays at some of the booths with Trump wax figures and all kinds of pro-Trump merchandise. I made sure to snap some photos because I thought they were hilarious. I really enjoyed the quality time with my mom and Ben, and I also got to hang out with Tux and enjoy some puppy cuddles with this mischievous little stinker, ha! MeMe and Grandaddy's lives had officially been turned upside down with their new addition, and they wouldn't have it any other way!

Also in the new year, my brother Jeb was officially promoted to Fire Chief of his Haslet Tx fire station. This was quite the honor and a long time coming. I loved these photos shared of Jeb with his team and family. So proud of this brother of mine!

And it wouldn't be a new year without the continuation of January traditions. For Kaitlynn, that meant nonstop cheer practices to prepare for the thick of the upcoming competition season. And for Jeff, well it was all about those Texans, who made a back-to-back run in the playoffs, which meant tailgating with ribeye steaks hot off the grill! Go Texans!
