What a magical Thanksgiving it was! This year, the gathering took place at Anna and Parish’s house, and it felt extra special because we had so much fun preparing for it. Everything just seemed to fall into place with cleaning, yard work, crafting, and friends and family being available to celebrate together. Although the weather…

Thanksgiving 2024
This year, we celebrated with brunch. Parish and I had the opportunity to visit Smithfield over the summer. We stopped by the Smithfield shop and bought two Smithfield Country Hams.

Hebb Family Thanksgiving 2022

Christmas 2021
Amidst the noise and happenings, snapshots, a single moment with depths of love and familiarity. I can only imagine that the overwhelming expression of moments are a gift from God. A God pause. This season I saw little hands helping and the innocence of children who love without questioninging. Extended family and friends gathered to…

It’s amazing how you organize a house on quarantine and the shift to hosting gatherings! We did it! We all pulled together and cleaned, shifted, and organized. What a beautiful day to celebrate family. The last…
