As I write this post I have a belly full of leftovers and New Years resolutions to eat healthier and exercise more…pretty standard post-feast mindset, am I right? We had a great week, Christian even got off of work around 10:30am on Christmas Eve so we were able to spend both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day together! This was such an unexpected treat and I was so grateful to have that time with him, making our own little traditions and memories.
The Christmas decorations have already been taken down and stored away for next year and we are back to work and reality, but that break sure was nice! Now we have NYE to look forward to, and I’ll probably be wearing this outfit. How was your Christmas and what are you planning for NYE? Thank you so much for reading!! I hope y’all had a very special Christmas with the ones you love – XO –
Love the pictures! They are all so pretty – and how cute is your reindeer dog?!

Is that not hilarious!? Thanks so much for stopping by – love your blog name! XO –
Bailey is just too sweet!! So happy you and Christian were able to spend the holiday together…you go girl for getting your decorations put away already…ours stay up until at least the 2nd haha!
Thank you so much! Leaving decorations up until the 2nd is NOTHING! I know people who leave them up until Valentine’s Day! That’s a bit of a stretch, ha. Happy New Year to you!! XO –
Your outfit in the first picture is perfection. Love it!

Thank you so much! It was the easiest way to dress for the NY Christmas heat wave – so crazy! Hope you had a Merry Christmas – XO –
I just discovered your blog, and I am glad I did. Is that the dog beach in Huntington? I live right near there.

Ok, so I am deep in the throes of trying to choose a China pattern and I’m having such a hard time! Too many choices? What if it goes out of stock? What if I hate it in a year? Ha. Just wondering which one you went with!! Happy, happy New Year!
