merry christmas

December 24, 2015

|for to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace – Isaiah 9:6|

Merry Christmas Eve! The above verse signifies everything that this holiday means to us. Jesus, Son of God, fully man and fully God, come to save the world from the darkness and to offer eternal life to those who will believe. We like to start our Christmas celebration with Christmas Eve service at our church, and then home for a cozy dinner together. If you are looking for a place to celebrate or attend a Christmas Eve Service, we would love for you to join us at The Village Church Plano. If that isn’t close to you, there are many other locations around the DFW area. Christmas Eve Services are at 1:00, 3:00 and 5:00!

Our Christmas is always very laid back. Christmas Eve Service, then home for dinner, games and opening one gift. The next morning we stay in our pajamas all day and enjoy each other’s company while opening gifts. Thanks for reading along the past 2+ years- it has been a blast for us! We hope you enjoy a glimpse back at our past Christmas pajamas!

Cheers,

Only one more day until Christmas Eve! We are pretty much ready, besides finishing wrapping everything. Luckily, the wrapping is one of our favorite parts, so it’s fun to enjoy Christmas music, wrap gifts and enjoy a glass (or two) of bubbly! We have a few people in the family who always try to peek, so literally everything gets wrapped, including each stocking stuffer. Wish us luck, we could be wrapping all evening!

For those of you who like to wait until the last minute, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus are offering free rush delivery by Christmas Eve for all orders that are placed before today at noon Central Time! Also, be sure to check out our gift guides for any ideas: For the Hostess, For Him, For the Jetsetter, Black Friday, For the Homebody, For the Fashionista and Stocking Stuffers!

fringe sweater

December 22, 2015

This time of year has always been crazy, but throw in being nine months pregnant and it’s a whole new level of crazy. It’s been a balancing act trying to work, keeping up with the blog, getting ready for Christmas and preparing for baby! With only three weeks left to go, I am working to make sure we are ready to go in case Baby C decides to come early, while also enjoying my favorite season! We’re just crossing our fingers that Baby C waits until we can cross a few more things off our long list of to-do’s.

The past few weeks I have been living in this fringe sweater. The days have been warmer, so I have been using it as a layering piece over my (few) tops. Many of my clothes no longer fit, so it’s nice to have this adorable fringe sweater to feel a little more fashionable! While I am fortunate to have had no complaints during this pregnancy, I am so ready to be able to dress in normal clothes again!
