VanLue Holidays

This year, we were in Orlando for Thanksgiving and Peachtree City, GA for Christmas. Josh was VERY into Christmas this year and asked non-stop when it would be time for Christmas. This was also Lylah's first holiday season and it was so fun creating memories with her.

We spent Thanksgiving with my mom, dad, sisters and grandma this year at my parent's house. It was a low-key, non-stress day of good food and lots of laughs.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Love my little family


In early December we made our way out to Disney for our annual trip to see the gingerbread houses. I love this tradition! You can explore most Disney hotels for free, but we usually try to have a reservation to eat somewhere as our way "in". Josh especially loved getting to ride the monorail and boats to all the different locations...and LOVES riding elevators :) My little engineer boy!

The week before we left for GA, we had "Christmas" with my family. We had everyone over to our place for pizza and presents and had such a great time! I love when our family spends time together.
