2025… We hardly knew ya?

We made it to the end of the year… and honestly, we’re sitting here like—did we really do all that?! Because this year felt like a nonstop highlight reel, and we’re so grateful we got to live it (and share it) as a family.

First, Alaska absolutely stole our hearts. The views were unreal, but the wildlife was the kind of “you’ll never forget this” stuff—bears, whales, and eagles… all in one trip! There were moments where we just stood there in total silence because it was so breathtaking that our brains needed a second to catch up.

Then there was our biggest “okay, we might be a little obsessed” moment: six Disney cruises in one year. SIX. Which is totally cheating to lump them together as one top moment, but also… we’re doing it anyway. 😂 Disney was hands-down our #1 cruise line this year, and we got to experience the best of both worlds—sailing on the two newest ships and the two oldest ships, soaking in the classic Disney charm and the jaw-dropping wow-factor of the newest builds. Every sailing brought something different, and somehow Disney magic still hits like it’s the first time—every time.

And then Japan… a literal dream. Walking through the bamboo forest felt like stepping into another world, and visiting Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea was next-level amazing. The detail, the atmosphere, the way everything feels so immersive—it was Disney in a way we’ve never experienced before, and we’re still not over it.

But here’s the part that matters most: none of this would feel the same without you. To our nearly 2,900 subscribers, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
