Christmas Recap

31 days ago I was in Atlanta {Alpharetta to be exact} celebrating Christmas with my family.  

Leading up to the trip I was over the moon excited.  After a 4.5 hour red eye flight we arrived and it was wonderful.

Merry Christmas Eve Friends!
I hope you are having a wonderful evening filled with lots of joy and laughter. 

Tonight we will be celebrating with my parents & sisters at my in-laws.

Everyone I cherish together...I could not be more blessed.  

A Tropical Christmas

Sometimes I think it would be fun to spend Christmas in the islands where snow and cold are replaced by sun and sand.  

I would love to rent a huge house, spend the day lounging in bathing suits, sipping margaritas, creating new and different holiday memories.  

Until this dream can come true these pictures will have to do...

The holidays can start now!

This week is going to be a whirlwind filled with lots of family gatherings, food, wine, laughs and political debates {M loves ruffling a few feathers with his parents}!

The itinerary has been sent.  

Everyone is on board.  

Let the festivities begin!

The Most Perfect Day to be a Friend

Today is the most perfect day for me to be a friend to these two women.  

They are both going through major life changes at this very moment and I couldn't be happier.

Congratulations Allie and Brock (her hubby) on becoming homeowners!  I can't wait to see your beautiful castle next week with my very own room;)  I know you both have so many wonderful ideas due to the many hours your have spent watching HGTV.  Your home will be the talk of the neighborhood because it will be styled to perfection.

Corey, Devin & Decker, I love you all to pieces.  I pray your labor is as smooth as possible.  Tonight after work you know I will be there with a bottle of champagne to celebrate.  I can't wait to spend time with your little man.  You are totally going to make me want to have babies;) {just kidding}

Christmas List

Dear Santa-

I have been very good this year.  I have done my best to be a good wife, friend, daughter and employee.  On Christmas morning I would love if a couple of the following items were under our tree.  Don't worry, I will leave extra cookies.

What I am Loving...Christmas Edition

I'm LOVING our Christmas Itinerary is complete for our trip home to Atlanta.  Yes, I put together a schedule for our families. I always receive backlash from them but it is for their own good.  This is our vacation too and I don't want to spend it on a guilt trip because we didn't plan accordingly.  As you can tell I get very amped up about this;)

I'm LOVING my bestie is expecting her bundle of joy anytime now.  She just hit 36 weeks and is ready to meet her new little man.  I am pretty much convinced he will be the most beautiful baby considering how beautiful his parents are.

I'm LOVING our tree is setup and I am starting my wrapping tonight.  Our tree looks so bare without any presents underneath it.

I'm LOVING how my company embraces the holidays.  All of our buildings are decorated to the nines and our holiday party is quickly approaching, which is always awesome.

I'm LOVING Christmas music 24/7.  I started screaming with excitement on my way home from work when I noticed they were playing it on the radio.  Yes, I was one of those people who started listening before Thanksgiving.

Wrapping Inspiration

Shopping for Christmas presents is one of my favorite things.  I love finding the perfect gift for my family and friends.  This year we started in June. Yep!  Crazy, yes, but I blame Nordstrom and their yearly sale.  We have just three people left on our list and hope to finish them up this weekend.

Wrapping presents is also one of my favorite things.  This year I turned to pinterest for some inspiration.  Here are a couple of ideas I am toying with this year...

Christmas Cards

Growing up one of my favorite things was coming home and checking the mail.  I loved the Christmastime because that meant lots of holiday cards.  I can remember looking at and re-reading our friends and family's cards curled up in my favorite chair.  

Now that it is my turn to send out Christmas cards I want to make sure they are perfect.  Last year we used Shutterfly for our cards and they turned out perfectly!  We will be using them again this year for sure.  

Here are the few I have picked out so far...

And solely because I am OBSESSED with Chevron...

How can I pick just one? 

Do you love Christmas/Holiday cards as much as I do?  Have you used Shutterfly before?
