In 2024, we faced many challenges and opportunities. We had many small moments that led to big memories. A lot of growth and several growing pains were endured. The greatest gift we gave each other this year was to remain unified during everything that we faced in 2024.
Adelaide, Salem & I had the most magical morning at The Kentucky Castle in Lexington. The castle was decorated in beauty & style for the holidays. In the Grand Ballroom, an intimate setting await with Mr. Santa Claus. Salem went right up to the "Big Guy" and gave him her biggest to date. She chatted him up, showing him Northern Lights {her snow fox elf pet} and letting him know that she wants two MORE puppies for Christmas!
We enjoyed a delicious brunch and great conversation with our table mates. We indulged Mrs. Claus with stories about Christmases past while she picked out the perfect little gifts from her sack to give us. Santa made a special stop at our table to speak to Adelaide. He took the time to talk to her about her wishes for a phone & they even shared a laugh or two together. To see her smile and laugh, it will always be one of my favorite things. We finished brunch with Santa reading 'Twas the Night Before Christmas to a quiet bunch of children who were in the awe of his magic.
What a special way to take a photo with Santa!
