Christmastime Fun

We have really made the most of celebrating Christmas this entire month!

The first Friday in December my high school girlfriends got together for dinner and an ornament exchange.  I had spent the day shopping with Amanda and our little's, it was the best way to start getting ready for Christmas.  

Courtney came into town that weekend to visit with us and we had a busy Saturday.  We went to the Breakfast with Santa at the Clubhouse, and then got family pictures taken.  Saturday night we went to see Christmas lights at the Way of Lights at the Our Lady of the Snows Shrine.  Always something I look  forward to every year, and Gia LOVED IT!

Sunday we went to brunch with our family and did a little more shopping.  It was such a fun weekend.

The next weekend we had our monthly dinner club/ ugly sweater party.  It was so fun, and I loved getting to dress in festive, funny outfits.

Saturday night was my work Christmas party.  We had so much fun at dinner at Chophouse and then went out after.  Dan and I stayed out way later than normal for us, and had a lot of fun at wigglers until it was closing time.  Sunday we paid for it, but that's usually how it goes.

Sunday my mom, Kellie, and I made a huge batch of Christmas Candy.  Monday Gia and I went over to my Mom's to help her put up her Christmas tree and start decorating.  We had the best time!  I love all the details of Christmas Prep, traditions are so fun!  

Lyndsey is the sweetest and prepped some extra Christmas crafts for Gia to make.  She loved and so did we!  

 One of my sweet clients got Gia this adorable outfit.  She wore it to the Ladie's Aid Christmas Lunch with my Grandma.
