There was a crowd of several hundred gathered for the lighting of the Carl and Joanne Foundation South Lyon Christmas Tree. This 84 foot tall beauty was lit shortly after 7:30 this evening to cheers and applause. Thank you to all that helped make this happen. #southlyonmi #Christmas2025 #Christmas

Yesterday I brought Amélie and Ryker to The Painted Croc Pottery for some holiday gifts. Always a fun time for the kids! 🎨🫟 It was Ryker’s first time doing some finger painting. Then grabbed a pizza at Toarmina’s. Tasty 🍕! #southlyonmi #southlyonmichigan #southlyon #smallbusiness #Christmas🎄⛄️🎁

Many thanks to Jodea Bella Home for their great selection of items! A couple weeks ago I snagged this pair of figurines for my Sis. I couldn’t post about them until after her Bday. They were a hit! Looking forward to find other treasures! #shoplocal #shopdowntown #antiquefinds #southlyon ❤️🎁🐈

It was the perfect weather to head down to McHattie Park and let the kids enjoy all the different playground equipment the park has to offer! The girls had a blast spending a good couple hours bouncing around the park. #playground #park #southlyonmichigan #southlyonmi #southlyon #community

The #LittleFreeLibrary at McHattie Park is getting a roof upgrade today! It may be closed for use this afternoon, but these new shingles will breath some new life into this great destination. Thanks so much to the #volunteers working on it today! #community #southlyon #southlyonmi #southlyonmichigan

Today we celebrate Ugliest Dog Day that celebrates the pups out there with a face only a dog parent could love. But when it comes to man's best friend, is there really any dog that can't be deemed adorable? We honor the facially challenged. ❤️ #uglydog #UglyDogDay #uglydogday2025 #puglove #puglife

The girls demanded to goto “the place with hot chocolate.” After pastries, the girls demanded icecream. I guess they are gonna be on a sugar rush for a bit. 😬
