This holiday season has been a whirlwind adventure that seemed to go by in the blink of an eye.  All of the hours spent shopping, wrapping & meal prepping and it’s over just like that.  For me, the best part of the holidays is getting to spend time with family and friends.  I love reuniting with cousins I don’t get to see that often, getting to share stories over glasses of wine, and laughing until our stomachs hurt.

Little man is 3 1/2 so Christmas was extra special this year.  The weeks leading up to it we baked cookies and made candy, drove through Christmas light shows, met Santa a few times, rode a horse drawn carriage while singing Christmas carols and enjoyed the mischievous happenings of our Elf on the Shelf Playdoh.  Thanks to Pinterest I had so many great ideas for Elf on the Shelf this year!

Seeing little man’s face on Christmas morning was the best of all.  Though he said he NEEDED every toy on every Disney commercial he saw, he only asked Santa for 2 things; a Transformer that was made out of 4 robots and an Optimus Prime Transformer that turned into a rescue trailer.  His eyes lit up with excitement when he saw those exact Transformers waiting under the tree for him…my heart was so full!

I hope everyone’s holiday season was full of love, laugher & lots and lots of wine!
