Merry Christmas from my family to yours! Where ever you are have a wonderful day tomorrow. Here's our santa photo for the year! Missing 3 big boys though! But here's our classic "get me away from that guy pose"! This one was the best out of all of them 😂 I will never let them live this moment down! Glad I straightened my hair!🤦‍♀️ #family #christmas #together #kids #holidays #photooftheday #photoofaphoto #santa #babies #babiesofinstagram #lovethem #lovethismoment #thegreatfamilyescape

As much as I love my kids, I do enjoy getting away without them! Sometimes it is the best thing you can do to recharge your mind, body and soul! 🙏

Take the time to relax and enjoy some me time! Alone or with your partner - Sound good? Damn Straight! 😁
