A WEEK IN OUR LIFE BEFORE CHRISTMAS! *IT'S GETTING HECTIC*

🎄Christmas Magic at the Biltmore, Dollywood, and New Family Traditions!
We had an absolute blast kicking off the holiday season with so many unforgettable moments! Our visit to the Biltmore Estate was breathtaking, especially during Christmas. The views were stunning, the Christmas tree was magical, and the cozy fireplaces burning inside made it even more special.
Next up, Dollywood blew us away yet again! No matter how many times we visit, it never ceases to amaze us, especially during the holidays. From the thrilling rides to the dazzling Christmas lights, it’s always an experience to remember.
We were so grateful to have our sweet friends, Taylor and Sophia, in town to share in all the fun! Their company made everything so much more meaningful, and we can’t wait for the next time we get to hang out together.
One of the most special memories this season was starting a new family tradition: taking the kids shopping to pick out Christmas gifts for each other. It was pure joy seeing Zade’s excitement to choose something for Layla and watching Layla’s face light up when getting something for Zade. This is definitely a tradition we hope to keep forever!
As Christmas approaches, we’re so excited to spend this magical time with our kids and can’t wait to bring you all along for the journey. Thank you so much for your love and support. We truly appreciate each and every one of you. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas filled with love, joy, and magic! 🎅🎁✨

[@savinggrace1110]

I can’t believe all of you were just a quick drive away!!! You all need to come to Bristol Motor speedway. Children’s hospital gets donations I think. It’s lights you drive speedway then in the center is the North Pole with rides fire pits to make snores and Santa and much more. Also go to Natural Tunnel near Gate City VA which isn’t far from speedway either and ride chair lift down to train track and it’s unbelievable. Look them up for sure. Then come over here to downtown Jonesborough where I live 😂❤ merry Christmas guys

[@SJD36]

This year we decided to do the 12 days of Christmas. We drew names in our household and each day for the 12 days each person gives secretly to their person. It can be small and simple like preparing a cup of hot cocoa that waits for them at the table, a small gift or doing their chore for the day. We are really enjoying this! Getting the kids involved is great like you were saying Carlin and that's cool you guys are having yours start practicing giving so young!

[@Becky_Jo_]

What a great idea!!

[@sharonperkins7251]

Curious,what days do count as the 12 days of Christmas? I've heard different things.

[@SJD36]

@@sharonperkins7251 we personally are doing the day of and 11 days prior to Christmas. Not sure if that's accurate, but to us it's more about getting in the spirit of giving.

[@Notable2Nikki]

We got our kids the little book about Cedric the dog and stuffies of him when we visited Biltmore. So cute!

[@jillwalls9330]

Zade is so good at throwing a ball. He’s got a good arm. And that big boy coat he wore makes him look like a teenager. So adorable. 😊

[@jaymie-lee]

They are both so sweet and precious, but he is hard to understand. Maybe it's because he's still a toddler 😊

You guys cheer me up. Every time. You are such a blast. LOL @ Zade's red nose. Merry Christmas! Love you right back!

[@kathleenpiscitello8650]

Hello Stew Crew!! 🎄 I was so excited to see that you are at the Biltmore Estate for Christmastime! We have tickets for December 28th for the house tour and I’m beyond excited to come back to tour the Big house. We had season tickets in 2017 and we went to the house every single chance we could, and that was a lot!! It’s decorated up so gorgeously at Christmastime. 🎄 Seeing you there makes me so anxious to go! I can’t wait! My only wish is that I would have been able to meet your family while we are there. ❤ We’re driving down from Ohio and afterward are heading to Florida. Sunshine and warmth for us for a while! You guys keep living your BEST life! Your kids are the sweetest and cutest children of all! I love them both so much! ❤️☀️🌴 Merry Christmas! ❤ Kathleen ❤️ Westfield Center, Ohio
