Remembering when the family would celebrate Christmas with the grandparents. After all the excitement opening presents, I'd often crash on the trip home.

Watching the street lights flash light into the car every few seconds only added to my sleepiness. 😴

The torture parents would put us through as little children, leaving presents under the tree for us to wonder what may be inside. 🎁

Remembering those occasions when my father would light a fire in the fireplace.

The radiant heat throughout the house, the smell of the wood burning, the crackle and pop of the wood, watching the embers glow...all while reading a comic book by the light of the fire 🔥

Good times! 😊

"Zack...it's 11AM! I hope you are up already!"

Happy Saturday Morning! 😁☀️

After a full week of school, sometimes it's nice to be able to sleep in a little on Saturday! 😅
