Out The Door in 5,4,3....

The weather finally dropped below 50 degrees around here.... So it's another "Wear Your Knits To Work" Day!



That stripey turtleneck? From Target, best buy EVER.

Christmasing

We are in full Holiday Spirit mood around here. If you don't know, I freaking love the Holidays. I love the cold days, Christmas Carols, the smell of pine trees in my house every morning, lighting up the fireplace, gathering with friends for spiked eggnog and champagne cocktails. As always to celebrate the start of the season, I host a holiday brunch for 12 of my girlfriends.

"Brunch" is actually a little misleading. It's actually cocktails, brunch, run out of champagne and move onto wine, dance party in living room, husbands and boyfriends arrive, decide on a dinner spot, take party across town, come home and pass out at 1:30am. That about sums it up.

The decorating is also finished:

Please excuse Katy's backside in this photo
I'm not knitting gifts for anyone this year because this season snuck up on me and I have no time. I might make something for my cousin or niece, but nothing I couldn't finish in a couple days.

FA LA LA!

Oh Yeah, Thanksgiving

I was going to write about our adventure with the Christmas tree last night but then I realized, oh yeah, might want to actually talk about Thanksgiving first. After many hours of cooking, cleaning, and grilling a ridiculous amount of lamb on a BBQ, we had a very, very successful Thanksgiving.

We had to squeeze to fit, but it just made it more cozy that way.

Like their parents, Katy and Viva were exhausted by the end of the night.


The moment Viva discovered Katy was on the bed, and was not happy about it.
