Because of Amiee's job and her holiday work timelines, we had an unusual and REALLY fun Brassart Christmas for 2021: Nana and Poppy rented the cutest refurbished carriage house Air BnB outside of Boone, and we all convened there for our celebration! It had two separate units (upstairs and downstairs), so there was plenty of room for all of us. There were carriage house cats (which thrilled Lily to no end), decorated Christmas trees, and tons of charm to go around.
Trumpkin approved of the in-house felines.
Also? Goats. (But we weren't responsible for any of the animals, PtL)

We divvied up meals/food responsibilities and made good use of the kitchen, which worked our beautifully. No complaints from this crew (ignore Brynna's crazy face here):
We woke up and had a proper (albeit prior to the actual) Christmas morning with special breakfast and present piles. This was, of course, followed by a viewing of White Christmas and exploration of our gifts.

The rest of our time was spent rather idyllically: naps, snacks, reading, hiking around the grounds, playing with the animals, watching movies, making cookies. It was pretty fantastic, really.
Lily's vibe in this picture pretty well sums up how we all felt about our Christmas at the Carriage House. It was so very fun and made for some really special memories.
