Christmas in July 🎄🌟

Hello Friends

Happy Fri-yay to you...the weekend is here! 💗

It's been a busy week with my Annie and her bf, Kristopher, here. Yesterday we spent the day in a quaint town about an hour &1/2 from us. It's a charming town on Lake Superior. It's got marinas filled with sailboats & fishing boats and cute homes on a hill that have sweet shutters, window boxes of flowers & charming little gardens. My Dad and step Mom rent a place there for some of the summer every year. So we got to catch up with them. And an Uncle that lives about an hour away from there came to meet us all for dinner too. 

We spent the day visiting and catching up, walking around the town, shopping the cute artsy shops, and eating fun food. You can see photos of our adventures at the end of this post.

But earlier in the week when Kris first got here, we did our Christmas in July time. To get in the spirit click below to listen

We listened to music like this all evening. I made a holiday-like meal. And we enjoyed that along with some Christmas sugar cookies. We exchanged some little gifts after dinner and then played fun board games. I loved every minute! :) I think the kids & Matt got a kick out of it too.

                                                

this photo looks like how it felt around here ❤️💚

We enjoyed a meal that consisted of roast chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, mac & cheese, cranberries, vegetable medley, dinner rolls, and sugar cookies with cream cheese icing & holiday sprinkles. 😋

Followed by a few fun little gifts to open:
