Christmas Highlights 2024

~ vincyzachariah

Closing out Christmas 2024 this week and just had to share a few pictures of moments from this season I never want to forget!

This was the first year Ava participated in the Elf on the Shelf shenanigans and it was so much fun watching her create little adventures for Aaliyah!
I did help create some of the magic occasionally 😂look at that smile! 🥹
Everyone’s off of their normal schedule thanks to the holidays so Levi woke up extra early one morning and got to join me for my quiet time by the fireplace! I guess it was a little too quiet for him to stay awake! 🥰
The sunrise from these windows always makes me so happy! The pretty tree next to it is just icing on the cake imo, I’m so grateful!☺️
We finally decorated our tree the night before Christmas and I think a tradition is born! Afterwards, we all wrote down our highs from the past year and our goals going into the new year and shared with each other. Aaliyah’s was to get better at piano and Ava’s was to learn guitar.
Before we went to bed we made sure to set out cookies and milk for Santa! the way Aaliyah is carefully monitoring Ava’s pour makes me giggle!
And of course we watched yet another Christmas movie at the girls’ “movie theatre” 😂the credit card machine got me!
This Christmas was filled with lots of performances! This picture is from the girls’ first Christmas dance recital!
Ava was Mary in the church play! Aaliyah ended up being sick so she skipped the play and stayed home to snuggle with Jacob.

School let out for Christmas break so we made a stop at the library to make sure we were fully stocked for the break! This is a dance session before we go into the library, obviously!

But only after we had pan fried pancakes and smash burgers from Oliver’s🤤
Christmas Day 2024
My Christmas cutie! 🥰
We hosted lunch the day after Christmas for Jacob’s side!
This year I noticed Ava loved to wear her lightbulb earrings and all her Christmas gear! I’ll take it while it lasts!
We spent lots of time outdoors on walks…and backwards strolls…
His first forced smile 😂
Just can’t get enough of him!
This season is so tough but I am so grateful for this little guy!
We’ve spent the last few days sick lounging on the couch. Today I walked into the living room and saw them both reading peacefully and had to document how grown they appeared!
She caught me taking a picture! 😂
All in all, this Christmas season was so wonderful in so many ways and I am so grateful! Jacob and I always say we are living out our prayers and that couldn’t be more truer than in this current season of life we’re in! It doesn’t mean it’s not tough – in fact, many days are a struggle for us but it’s definitely worth it. We are so thankful for this beautiful life we get to share. Praying for a wonderful New Year filled with more love, joy, and adventures!

Xx,

Vincy 🎄
