March went by faster than I expected it to. We had a birthday and Easter to celebrate as well as a lot of good views. The colors of spring are beginning so show themselves, and I'm loving it!

March Spring and Things

Casey's Burn Jacket
It was still wet, but Casey wanted to burn. This was a different kind of burn with a sad parting of sorts. Casey has had a "burn" jacket for several years. Anything that wears out he retires as his "work/burn" wardrobe. This particular jacket is 36 years old. It has quite the history. He bought it while we were dating. It has more holes in it than fires he's started, but today he decided it was time. Time to say goodbye. If you know Casey you know he doesn't do this often. His favorite saying is, "Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without" and that he does! Stitching up tears, pathing up holes, and wearing our shoes wayyyy past their prime. Ry said we should've been playing Taps. Honestly, all the kids should've been here to witness this event. It's a jacket we've all teased him about over the years. Should've had it framed and put into "Casey's things" museum/box, but I guess burning it seemed more appropriate😅🔥

Christmas 2023
Everyone was here for Christmas. We had a lot of fun decorating cookies, bowling, and viewed the Christmas lights at Botanical garden. It was pretty cold/wet this year, so there wasn't a lot of outside play that happened. We didn't even get a fire in this year(bummer). But Santa came and we all had some good family time together💓🎅🎄
We rode a bus to get into the gardens where the Christmas lights were displayed. We all managed to get the back to ourselves coming and going...Just how we like it😀
