52-Week Blog Challenge --- Week 5 - My Favorite Holiday
I definitely don't think I can pick the one holiday that is my absolute favorite...
I love Valentines Day with all of the Valentine creations - Valentine boxes for the boys + Valentine treats for their classmates + red roses + chocolate.
I love Mother's Day/Father's Day because of all of the handmade crafts that the boys make for RA and I.
I love birthdays...any excuse to plan a themed party is definitely fun to me!
I love Halloween/Thanksgiving because of the cooler fall temperatures, costumes, and cooking for family.
I love Christmas because of the fun of Christmas events - breakfast with Santa, holiday parties, yummy holiday snacks + fun crafts, picking out gifts for everyone/seeing excitement on their faces on Christmas morning, decorating the house with all of the Christmas decor, oh my goodness - so much fun!
Any excuse to celebrate is exciting and totally worth it for me. The planning process is fun and somewhat cathartic as I get to be my version of creative + do something that makes other people smile. :-)

Gorgeous sunset in GA on Monday!
Tuesday, January 29 - Post-Dinner Activities
A warm fire, a sweet puppy, and an episode of The Andy Griffith Show makes for a great Tuesday evening in the Hawk house.
I love surprises. And new products. So, enter FabFitFun - a box full of surprises four times a year!
We pretty much have the same routine every night, so it makes sense that these two got comfortable for their post-dinner episode of The Andy Griffith Show. We instituted a no screen time during the week rule at the beginning of the school year, but we make one exception and that's to watch one episode of TAGS every night together as a family.
Warm fire, warm blanket, and a glass of wine to round out a LONG week...
It was warm enough to fire up the fire pit and eat dinner outside. The boys played well past dark while RA and I sat by the fire and chatted.
Sunday morning LEGO creations. The Hawk boys love LEGOS and will spend hours building + creating storylines that go along with what they've built. I absolutely love seeing their imaginations at work.
Moving into the first full week of February with the excitement that the next two weeks are half weeks due to Mid-Winter Break. Gearing up for some fun adventures mid-month! We hope you and yours have a great week!
