As the evening grew nearer, we headed to the Wave Pointe Marina & Resort to share a sunset sail with our friends aboard Captain Bill Wons sailboat. We enjoyed sipping Island Orchard Cider’s best selection, Pear.

“It was 1988, we were just kindergartners at Jefferson Elementary School! We know this is true because Drew’s mom found pictures of us playing in class together; that was the beginning of our friendship!

Did you hear that my dream is to one day own a tree farm? Going to the tree farm every year is easily our favorite family activity of the year. I was talking to a cousin last week and we both agreed the experience we had as children playing in the frozen creek, riding the hayride out to the fields, playing hide n’ seek between trees around the property (the secret to winning is building a team and having walkie talkies guys), excited to come across Grandma who had a bag full of fresh baked cookies (peanut butter with a hershey’s chocolate in the center or buckeye’s are my favorite, just in case you’re in the baking mood, wink) and gold fish crackers in individual bags for all 18 grandkids.

The last few years we’ve created a new holiday tradition by visiting the historic town of Cedarburg, Wisconsin south of us about 1.5 hours. We adore this tradition for many reasons but our two most loved reasons are visiting Santa in his workshop and selecting a few new handmade ornaments from Germany for our tree at home. This has become a special weekend for us every December.

Starting at the beginning of the year as a family we started watching the whole Harry Potter series and collecting or in my case re-collecting the books. As a thirteen year old girl when “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” was released I remember it was the first time I became excited to read since having my parents read to me as a small child.

You quickly come to realize within minutes of being with them that their love is one you usually only come by in movies. The glance Cam gives Brooke when she’s not looking, the way he picks her up and swings her around, in his sweeping motion of taking her off her feet to kiss her.

“I will never forget our fifth date, when we met each other’s parents and Phillip took me to his family dairy farm for the first time. He showed me all around the farm and let me fulfill my dream of hand milking a cow! “Still convinced she just kept going on dates with me to get closer to the cows lol,” says Phillip.

Somehow we were blessed with a snow free weekend and we took advantage of it by heading to none other than Door County, do you even expect anywhere else at this point? We drove up Saturday and headed straight to Frontier Wildness Campground to set up our tent because the weather forecasters were saying rain […]

Cole was looking forward to sharing all his favorite places with his Grandma and taking her to Lambeau to do the Lambeau Leap and show her the new Titletown Park along with trucking her along to every Door County spot we hang out at regularly.
