A MERRY "KRYSH"MAS


Well, they don't call it the most wonderful time of year for nothing....





{Billy as a little one in the middle}




{the boys with a sweet family friend, Jim, who has dressed up as Santa for their family for many, many years}


{the beginning of an intense cousin ping pong tournament...
guess who won the $100? Me and Billy! Duh.}


Some highlights from this Christmas:

Besides the most important part-being able to spend it with all our families{my parents, my Mom's side, and my in-laws}and just enjoying all of the wonderful company, my favorite parts were playing Gestures with my parents, the cousins ping-pong tournament where me and Billy came out on top winning $100 {did you really doubt us? ;}, watching hours and hours of home videos of Billy and his siblings as babies and a little boy, giving Billy his gifts and setting up his new iPhone that I got him, and having a true white Christmas {the snow has been SO much fun!}. Our families were so generous to us and we are feeling so thankful and blessed...it has been one heck of a Christmas. Some of our favorite gifts were Tory Burch revas {love them!}, new cozy slippers{much needed}, a North Face winter coat, lots of work out / running clothes, perfume, a new drill for Billy, dress shoes, Express/Nike shirts, and ski clothes for our upcoming trip next week. As I speak {type}, we are in a winter storm warning and supposed to get an inch of snow every hour! I can't complain because I'm absolutely loving it and besides, shoveling is a great workout. Especially when I ate everything under the sun these past couple days.

detox to begin.... now.  

*our si.pi.di link-up will resume next week and for the rest of this week I plan to soak up the holiday still and celebrate! Tonight is one of my best friend's birthdays so that is on the agenda for this evening. Looking forward to seeing my girlfriends and sharing our stories from Christmas.


Hope you had a warm and wonderful holiday season and continue to celebrate, too! xo

  13. Where in the world did you get those polka dot pjs?! I'm so jealous that you got a white Christmas. We got one in 2010, but just barely! It started snowing at 7 p.m. on Christmas night and snowed all night! The pictures of you and Rocky in the snow are adorable!
