I hope you all had a nice Christmas! It was 75 degrees here in Oklahoma, which made the whole day seem a little bonkers, but I loved being with my family...especially the kids!
Bryce came home from college, and even though he's bigger, stronger, and older, it was so nice to know that he hasn't lost his weirdness. 😊
This kid makes me laugh, and he has his whole life! On a side note, I think Bryce looks more like Woody Harrelson than ever. I first started noticing the resemblance during his junior or senior year of high school, but I kept catching glimpses of it on Christmas Day and now I can't unsee it!
(I happen to be a big Woody Harrelson fan, though...so my eyes might be a little biased.) Anyway, I posted my thoughts about the Woody resemblance on Instagram, and while a lot of folks agreed with me, there were several who said Anthony Michael Hall was the first person they thought of. I agree with this, too, but Bryce looked more like the 80's actor when Bryce was a little younger.
So what do you think??
There was actually another curveball thrown in. There were at least two commenters on the Instagram post who said, "I see Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren) from Rocky IV!" and now I can't unsee that.
The whole celebrity doppelgänger thing is so fun. Do you have one?

Ree doesn’t like to play favorites but the Agatha print has a special place in her heart.
Restaurant and Hotel Owner
Together with her husband Ladd, Ree has opened several bustling businesses in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, including The Pioneer Woman Mercantile—a bakery, restaurant, and general store that draws visitors from across the country (many come for the biscuits alone!), P-Town Pizza, Charlie’s Ice Cream Shop, and The Boarding House, a charming hotel with eight different rooms decorated by Ree and Ladd.
Media Personality
Ree appears regularly on national TV shows like Today, Good Morning America and more—all while managing to keep flour off her shirt.
Wife, Mom and…Grandma!
Ree’s kids (daughters Alex and Paige and sons Bryce and Todd) are all grown up, and as of December 2024, Ree is the proud grandma of the cutest baby ever, Sofia Scott, born to Alex and her husband Mauricio. Ree still cooks for Ladd (and the kids when they’re home), and she also looks after a few mischievous ranch dogs.
