🐹 Merry Christmas!! 🎅🎅

Good morning, Bellingham, and Merry Christmas! We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone in our Hamster Wheel family. Your enthusiasm, encouragement, and scoops have made this little newsletter a pleasure to write, and we are truly thankful for all of you this holiday season.
We are also excited to see where The Hamster Wheel takes us in 2025. With new ideas and adventures on the horizon, we look forward to continuing to bring you the content you love and to growing our community together.
To wrap things up with a smile, enjoy a family photo that took us nearly 90 attempts to capture! 👇️ Sometimes, the best moments come after a few extra tries. 😆

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful Christmas!
~ Val & Evan
