VC, RNR, LGCS, and MORE!

Every year a group of best friends come to Thomasville for Victorian Christmas! It's so fun! Sometimes they spend the night and we do a big breakfast the next morning. This year however, was sooo busy...so we did salad, Moonspin, and desert before heading downtown. 

Every year we get a fried Oreo and take a picture eating them! I think this was year 5 of the tradition! 

Saturday morning I was up bright and early for the Red Nose Run! Holli and I were in the middle of Plantation land at a water station for the half. Brrrrr....

My parents came to visit Saturday afternoon and they kept MC while Matt and I went to our Life Group Christmas Social. We took MC to see Santa downtown. Still not a fan!

We ate dinner at Old Mexico, had a super fun Christmas light scavenger hunt, and then went back to a house for desert!

I realized that Molly Caroline wore the exact same dress to the Christmas musical last year! So amazing how she has changed so much!

I love breaks!

I just love being home with all of my heart! It's a cozy, rainy Monday...and our Christmas lights are twinkling! Molly Caroline and I are going to lunch with Matt and picking up a few last minute things that we ordered this afternoon!

What we're working on...

I've wrapped some gifts!

Matt started putting together toys!

I finally got my act together and finished felt ornaments. 

What I'm loving...

I love this cozy spot! 

That MC gets excited when she sees her elf. 

Snuggles and playtime in pjs.

Some of my favorite things!

Christmas Lights! In our cute downtown, all over the Pines at flowers, and covering the palm trees at VSU! 

We took Molly Caroline to the front lawn last night and she loved it! Her reaction to the fountain was "oh"! It was special being on campus where Matt and I first met! 

Bourbon and Bowties and Statement necklaces like Betsy Pittiard and The Heart Knot!!

Swapping clothes!! It's just so fun recording packages like this!

Pom Pom anything!! The ribbon I used for our tree topper this year has Pom poms on it. 

Amazon Prime! I use it year round. But it's definitely made Christmas shopping so much easier this year! I came home to 5 big boxes yesterday! Let the wrapping being!

And of course Christmas outfits!

New Ornament Tradition

Every year since I've been married I get my mom and I matching ornaments. She does the same! I love the little collection we've built up. 

My mom also got Molly Caroline two new animal cracker ornaments. They are adorable and she walks up to the tree and touches them all the time! 

Picking out her ornament!!

I am going to make a handprint ornament with MC every year (until she's grown up :() I cherish these already!

Molly Caroline has been a pom Pom ornament  making machine for everyone! I think I will let her make an ornament every year too. 

I can't wait until she understands the meaning behind every ornament!

Christmas in the Classroom and our Elf at home

We've been busy making ornaments, gifts for the parents, artwork, and reindeer food bags. It feels good to be done! Everything is now wrapped! 

Matt is loving moving out elf around our house. We don't do it consistently, MC touches it, and it doesn't have a name. Maybe next year...

2 more days until our break!! So ready to be finished!
