happy holidays

Happy Holidays! How do you get into the holiday spirit?  Shopping?  Decorating?  Baking?  Dreaming?  There is one thing that does it for me every year.  Christmas cards!  I love Christmas cards.  This is something I have adored since I was a kid.  Running out to the mailbox everyday to see what arrived.  Of course, I enjoy the entire process of selected, approving, receiving our own Christmas cards.  And when I received these this year, I was more than thrilled!  I tried a new company, Minted.  And I could not be happier.  Beautiful.  I think they are a perfect reflection of our family.  

Unfortunately, I can not send them out to everyone.  I truly wish I could....  So please enjoy here!

And I had to include a shot of my Christmas tree.  This year I did a real Christmas tree again.  First one since the kiddos were born.  

And my stockings, from Hable Construction via Garnet Hill.  Every year I try to do one purchase to add to the Christmas collection.  This was last years contribution.

Last, but not least..... loving our poinsettia that our sweet neighbors, Camille & Edith, give us every year.  Fingers crossed I won't kill it before Christmas Day.  Love to you all & Merry Christmas!
