Happiest Season of All

This season of the year, and season of our lives, is filled with such joy and happiness. 

Buoyed by our community of family and friends (new and old), and drawing deeply from our well of resilience and optimism, we’ve enjoyed a year filled with great adventures and memorable moments.

Mary added a couple more metaphoric stamps to her passport this year with trips to Mexico and Denmark. And after one long weekend in the Pacific Northwest, has declared that when she is 4 she is moving to Seattle to grow up there (parents not invited). A couple trips to Michigan, including accompanying Bridget on a work trip, means at age 3 she has a great start to Delta Million Miler Status. Plus, we all experienced our first (and definitely not last) hot air balloon ride!

Our motto of "ABC: Always Be Celebrating" was alive and well in 2025. 

With love,

Ben, Bridget, & Mary
