POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

In December 2015, a newly married @aq_mccool and I boarded a flight to Paris, France for our honeymoon. We were young and in love, without a care in the world. It was bitter cold and we were up several flights of stairs in a boutique hotel, but it was perfect.

Fast forward (almost) ten years, and an opportunity presented itself to go back WITH the loves of our lives, our babies. I could hardly believe it.

I remember thinking on our honeymoon, “This is it. This is the peak.” Since that day I have experienced many more peaks AND valleys with this man by my side. But, watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle at 11pm last night with my three is a moment I never want to forget.

Closing out 2024 thankful. 🧡

2025 will be the year of more for my little family. More Jesus, more time together, more focusing on our little life in the walls of our cozy home. More time away from the news and social media. More time IN His Word. More prayer and worship music filling our home. More answered prayers. More joy and laughter. More silliness. More embracing messes. More home cooked meals. More cuddles in mommy and daddy’s bed. More being content and grateful for what we have. More serving others. More sending cards and letters in the mail. More forgiving and growing together. More time at my happy place (@facknoxville) with my church family. More miracles.

In His presence there is FULLNESS of joy! -Psalm 16:11

2025, we are ready! 🧡

2023 was a year of ups and downs- heartbreaking endings and beautiful beginnings- far away travels and cozying up at home. The Lord kept my little family and made His grace fresh and new each morning. My (sorta joking) life motto is “us four and no more.” I’ve got my besties, and that’s all I need. Far away or close at home.

2024 is bringing with it many exciting things, and we are ready for it! ♥️ by @kelli.danielle

Last bit of memories. ♥️✨

We chose the Wish specifically because of the Arendelle and Marvel dinners + the Little Mermaid and Aladdin shows. A match made in heaven for our two! ❄️🧜🏼‍♀️🕸️🧞‍♂️

Eleanor was in heaven this week with crafts and drawing classes lasting until midnight each night. Their eyes were full of magic and wonder the entire time and I don’t think we’ve ever smiled so much.

Back to reality- but thats okay because I’m takin them with me! ☺️ by @kelli.danielle

Wishes do come true! 🚢✨

Hands DOWN the best week EVER with my sweet little family. Our first cruise and it was magical and perfect in every way. Warm cookies and milk (or a pot of coffee🤪) to your room within 10 minutes 24/7. There is something to do for everyone literally every minute until midnight. I know we didn’t even scratch the surface of what we could have done- but goodness, we enjoyed every single second.

Thank you to @travelsmadeeasy for helping with every detail! ♥️ by @kelli.danielle

Part 1 of the greatest family vacation EVER. 🎃🧡✨

A few weeks before we were to head out for our cruise, we realized we could either fly and get there in a quick 45 minutes, or save the money from the flights and instead use it to make my dreams come true. Obviously we opted for the 11 hour drive. 🤪 We loaded up after work last Friday and made the long journey into the night to be at MNNSHP and it was quite literally the greatest ever. We were greeted with pumpkins everywhere, so much candy trick or treating, not so scary parades, light shows, fireworks, characters in costumes, and short lines. We rode Tiana + Snow White’s Mine train twice (!!!) We are at PEAK family vacation age. They are so fun and I’m desperate to hold onto this season of life. Thank you Jesus for my three. ♥️

Also, there’s a hint to our family Halloween costume in these pics if anyone wants to take a guess. ☺️ by @kelli.danielle

Calloway had his first show and tell today, so naturally we got a little practice session in before school. He chose to bring the genie lamp his daddy brought him home from Egypt. 🐫🧞🤎 by @kelli.danielle

So very thankful the Lord allowed me to give them the gift of each other. Built in best friends. Wild and gentle. Silly and sweet. Loving and kind. A little bit of sugar and spice sprinkled into both… a boy and his sissy. 🧡 by @kelli.danielle

We are feeling so very thankful for the opportunity of another incredible year at our favorite place. 💙🧡 Eleanor is in second grade with over a dozen of her besties (some she’s been with since k2 🥹) and Calloway has nine friends in his K4 class that he is so excited to play on the “big playground” with.

I pray every morning for them to keep their kind spirits and for Jesus to protect their hearts. I know the Lord will help them grow into who He wants them to be with the help of their amazing teachers... and I will NEVER be able to thank Jesus enough for the gift of being just right down the hall with their daddy.

Thankful. 🤍 by @kelli.danielle

Cal wanted everyone to know he has your bedtime story covered for the evening. 🕷️🕸️♥️

Bucket list moments. ✔️

We first surprised the babies, then surprised everyone else. I’m one of the absolute worst secret keepers when it comes to happy surprises, so thankfully we planned this spontaneous trip just two days before heading out. Shoutout to my AMAZING husband for always doing all the things to make his family feel loved.

Here’s to one more trip filled with Louisiana hugs before school starts back. ♥️ by @kelli.danielle

We first connected with Adam and Karissa King from @dearyoungmarriedcouple when we joined them for their podcast in September of 2020 on the topic of prioritizing our marriage with an infant- definitely in a fake it til’ ya make it stage of life as first time parents with our little Eleanor… cue much more listening than talking in that episode.

It was quite a full circle moment having them with us to share their heart and passion with the people who mean the most to us (@facknoxville) last night for their marriage toolbox tour! We’ve gleaned so much wisdom from these two from a distance over the years, and being with them in person was the cherry on top! 🧡 by @kelli.danielle
