Celebrating My Incredible Daddy

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for spending a moment of your weekend with us! First, I wanted to encourage you to check out yesterday's post HERE, if you missed it. 

For the Boggs family, yesterday was a holiday. January 16 is the birthdate of the one and only Davy Boggs.

We set aside the day on the blog and in real life to celebrate him! The family text started early in the morning. Memories and pictures poured in until late last night. I hope to share some of those memories later. 

I laughed, I cried, I smiled, but most of all, I was proud to be his daughter!

Mom and I were joined by several of our family members at Longhorn Steakhouse for dinner. 

All of us were missing Davy Boggs! The delicious food and wonderful family time were a soothing balm to our hearts. 

Here are a few pictures from Davy’s 2026 birthday dinner!

Mom and I split his favorite steak, in Dad’s honor. 

I know the picture does not look like it, but Uncle Jay was fully there last night 😂. He cut himself half out of the picture

See you all tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Aunt Jeanna

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for visiting! Our family’s January birthdays continue today. January 14th is the big day for my Aunt Jeanna Morgan.

I am so blessed to have excellent aunts in my life. Jeanna has been right there for most of it.

 Jeanna is an incredible person, and we are blessed to have her in our family! She is loved as a wife, Mom, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, and pastor’s wife! Jeanna excels at each of her positions! She is well

loved by all!

It is safe to say her favorite title now is Nina or Nana. She is a proud grandmother to soon to be 5 grandchildren. 

I can not let today pass without giving my Aunt Jeanna a birthday shoutout. Jeanna we love you so much. Hope you have a fantastic birthday! 

I will close with some more pictures of the birthday girl.

Ezra Is Golden and Celebrating Gran

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for stopping by to visit! I mentioned yesterday that it is a week full of birthday festivities

Ezra Is Golden 

Today’s birthday is golden. Ezra Joseph Daniels is 13 on January 13, 2026. 

Happy 13th birthday to my big little buddy! I cannot believe you are now a teenager! We love you! Can't wait to celebrate with you!

It seems like only yesterday he was three years old and arresting me, trying to take me to jail. Ezra would lock me behind his imaginary jail bars. When I would roll out, he would say, "How did you get through those heavy metal bars and doors?" I tried my best to convince him that I had superpowers with my wheelchair to escape! Ezra would not buy my story! Oh, the precious memories!

Celebrating Gran

We started the week off with Gran’s birthday. Click HERE to read her 2026 birthday blog post.  

Mom and I met up with both sets of my grandparents yesterday. We had a lovely lunch to celebrate Gran’s birthday. 

Lunch was scrumptious. We tried a new US restaurant that came highly recommended! Firebirds was incredible. I will definitely want to visit there again in the future!

The family time was even more valuable! I am thankful for every time I get to spend time with all of my grandparents! I love them also very much, and I would not be the person. I am today without them!

I will leave you with a few pictures from yesterday's meal. I hope you enjoy your virtual lunch! Sorry cannot be the real thing. Just take my word for it, that it was

Bye for now.

Happy Birthday Gran 2026

 Hey Friends,

Today marks the start of a busy week of birthdays in our family. There are birthdays on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Saturday afternoon will be a party for one of the afore-mentioned birthdays. We have lots of celebrating happening this week. 

On January 12, 1949, Betty Jo Howard was born. She grew up in Kentucky. On October 14, 1967, she married her sweetheart, Danny Morgan. 

Today, Betty Jo Morgan is known as a sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. She is one incredible lady!

Happy birthday, Mom Betty, Gran, Granny, Granikin,  Thumbelina or Granberry; she has many titles. We all love you so much!

I am blessed to call her my Gran! She has been a bright spot in my whole life! I am grateful to have the World’s Best Gran! I am so proud of her!

We plan to meet up with them for a birthday lunch today. I am excited to celebrate with her! I will have pics from that outing later. Here are a few more pictures of my Gran. 

Thank you for reading!

Christmas Wreath 2025

 Hey Friends,

First off, I want to wish my cousin Wade Ross Evans a happy birthday! 21 years ago, my world got a little sweeter with your arrival. You still are a sweetheart and make me smile! You will always be my cheetah! 😊

I hope you have a fantastic 21st birthday. We love you so much!

Christmas Wreath 2025

Last night was an event I have been part of for several years now. I really enjoy it each Christmas. It is a private event at Purkey Landscaping’s Plant Barn. 

We make Christmas wreaths. It is so fun to create something beautiful. Kristy, Tammy and Madison make sure we have all the supplies and inspiration. Then we are free to create the wreath that we choose. They are there to guide and assist us along the way. 

This years party attendees were my Aunt Theresa Osborn with ladies from Dodds Church along with family and friends. It was a great evening. We had so much fun! 

I think 2025 may be my favorite wreath so far. This year I went for more of a winter feel. I am hoping it will last a while past Christmas.

Thanks to Purkey Landscaping for hosting fun events! Check them out online HERE.

I will close with some pictures from last night.

See you tomorrow!

Also I included a picture of my bedroom Christmas tree. I love my travel tree. I did not have it done last month when I shared my Christmas decorations. 

A Very Boggs Thanksgiving 2025

 Hey Friends,

Yesterday was our Boggs Thanksgiving. It was a fantastic day to have most of our family together. I love it when we are all able to be there for holidays. 

The Ohio, Alabama and North Carolina contingents of the family were present for Thanksgiving this year. Our afternoon was filled with family, fun, food, and fellowship! We are so grateful for God’s blessings on our family.’

We did miss Jonas, Kylee and Beckham! Their focus is getting little man well! We hope and pray they can be with us for Christmas! They may be a little closer to getting some answers, but still, they need our prayers. I know they are ready to be home as a family!

This year, our Thanksgiving menu was mostly catered by City Barbecue. That is a family favorite restaurant. The food was a big hit yesterday, too. We had smoked turkey, ham and brisket as the meats, and a myriad of sides. We all contributed drinks, a few sides and desserts. All together it was fantabulous Thanksgiving dinner. 

I will close with pictures from the Boggs Thanksgiving 2025. These pictures are a combination of mine, Mom’s, Aunt Theresa’s, Deidre’s and Uncle Tommy’s. 

I hope you enjoy a glimpse into our holiday. 

See you next time.
