merry merry christmas!

it’s been the most wonderful christmas. i finished up my shopping yesterday and prepped the house for a family party. we celebrated God’s incredible gift of Jesus with a candlelight service that was breathtaking and lively at the same time. {the snow machines, photobooth, hot chocolate & gingerbread cookies were over the top.} after we headed home to greet our guests! trader joes appetizers, puppy chow, my mother-in-law maggie’s lemon bars, champagne, my grandparents, and tons of candles along with a total of 12 people, one bunny and one puppy happily piled in our townhouse made it the christmas eve party of a lifetime. completely unforgettable. today gil and i slept in {finally} and stayed in our pj’s all day. we watched our favorite movies {christmas vacation, meet me in st. louis and the newest harry potter} opened gifts to each other and ate pillsbury orange rolls. {i’m still so excited over my new silverwear and julia child cookbook.} we napped and then napped some more. and lastly had dinner at my parents house. it was perfect. we are oh so blessed.

hoping you all had a wonderful christmas too.
