Holiday Magic
For most people, the holiday season means a time to relax. But for Ordway, it’s a busy and sometimes hectic holiday.
Last week, the actress had a jam-packed schedule. After flying to L.A. to film scenes for Y&R, Ordway then hopped on a plane back to Tennessee to watch her daughters in a Christmas parade. She got to spend some time with her family before returning to work.
While balancing work, family, and other commitments is hard, Ordway is finding the beauty in the chaos. On a recent Instagram story, the star expressed her gratitude for the “crazy” holiday season.
“Planes, parades, and a whole lot of gratitude✈️🎄,” Ordway wrote. “Heading back to Nashville to watch my girls in a Christmas parade, then heading right back to LA on Monday to film with my favorite crew. Feeling incredibly thankful for every bit of this season❤️.”
Ordway then ended her post by writing, “The season gets crazy and busy fast…but the magic is still there. Feeling it and feeling so grateful.”
Holidays With The Gastons
Ordway made it to Nashville in time to see her daughters, Olivia and Sophie, in the parade. The girls and their cheer squad were part of not one, but two parades that day. Ordway was a proud mom as she waved to her daughters as they walked down the street.
The Christmas parades are just one way Ordway and her family are celebrating the holidays. The actress, her husband Justin Gaston, and their kids got a head start on Christmas decorating back in November.
Aside from decorating, the family has been enjoying some of their other favorite holiday pastimes. One of their traditions is to wear matching pajamas and watch their favorite Christmas movies. And there will be plenty more activities for the family as Christmas quickly approaches.
Although the upcoming weeks might be more hectic, the actress is soaking up every moment. With so much to be thankful for, it’s going to be a magical and beautiful holiday season for Ordway.
