Ree Drummondis giving her daughter’s boyfriend a warm welcome.
In her latestblog post, thePioneer Womanstar detailed the family’s trip to Colorado for the new year. While she wrote about their many adventures in the mountains, her most fun tidbit was introducing daughter Paige’s new boyfriend, David Andersen.
“Okay. I buried the lede. This is David. He’s Paige’s ‘friend.’ Not her friend, mind you,” she joked in the caption of a photo of the pair. “Her ‘friend.’ I won’t go into detail because that’s Paige’s place to do…but the smile on her face might give you some idea of how Paige feels about her new friend. I mean ‘friend.’ I mean, I’m going to stop writing this caption now!”
Ree also shared that she was able to spend quality time with Paige, 24, and David while in Vail.

“David was only able to stay for the first three days, so on his last day, I went out to breakfast with him and Paige,” she wrote, adding details about their meal. “You’ll notice my plate was even more full than during my solo breakfast two days earlier. If you eat early in the day, the calories don’t count!!”
“So so so sweet. ❤️,” Ree wrote.

In a series of silly Instagram Stories, she said she made her family biscuits and gravy to ring in the milestone. “Happy birthday to me!!😂🤓,” she joked in a caption over a picture of foster son Jamar holding up his packed plate.
She also took some “me” time to celebrate her birthday. In one photo, Ree sipped on an espresso martini. “This is my b’day portrait,” she captioned the Story.

The Drummond’s trip to Vail might be thestart of a new tradition, Ree revealed in late December.
“In the past, we’ve thrown a big party atP-Town Pizza, but this year we’ll be in Vail, CO,” she wrote in a blog post. “We’ve never gone for New Year’s Eve, so we’re excited.”
No matter where the family is, Ree always prepares a special dish on New Year’s Day.
“I’m not all that superstitious, but I make hoppin' John on January 1," she said, because “black-eyed peas are supposed to bring good fortune.”
