This year has been a fun one, last year was easy to top!
If you’ve known me for a while, you know that I have had some debacles in the past regarding Christmas cards, so this year we are once again staying digital, and making them more of a year in review card then a Christmas card.

We began the year with another Wisconsin winter and a trip to what used to be our hometown of Phoenix.



Spring sprang, and it was lovely as the weather got better and better. I finally got my masters degree in May, and we moved out of the home we were renting in mid June to go to Greece for another summer. With no Olympics, and no big wedding, there was less time spent in Europe, this summer, but a lot more time to explore Greece and some islands, which was incredible!





At the end of summer, Tommy stayed in Europe to follow the Greek national team to the bronze medal while Charlo and I returned back to the states for Charlo to start school and for us to find a new place to live.

He has been thriving at school, and I finally released a book I was working on on and off for more than 10 years (mostly off, haha). It feels great to have both that and my masters officially off my mental to-do list, freeing space for more fun things to come!
Halloween was a blast as usual, and Charlo and I enjoyed spending Thanksgiving with both sides of my family while Tommy was in New York City. We hosted Christmas morning at our place, and will be spending New Year’s Eve at the Bucks 🦌 game. We are so excited for everything 2026 has in store, and hope your 2025 was great and that your 2026 is even better!



Cheers,
Mandie & the Brices
