December was such a busy month with so much excitement, but I can't believe it's all over! I kicked off my holiday stay-cation on Christmas Eve-Eve with one last Bar Method workout before Christmas, wrapping of the last few presents, and one more batch of creme de menthe cookies.
There was also a late night FedEx delivery from my aunt with a framed picture of my grandparents when they were waiving goodbye at their wedding to leave for their honeymoon. Before opening anything else later that weekend I already knew this was hands down my favorite gift. I miss them beyond words!
It felt amazing to sleep in on Christmas Eve and get ready to visit with my fav neighbors before going to my in-laws for dinner, skyping with my sister and brother in-law in CT, and an extra competitive game night during dessert.
Christmas Day, I came down the stairs to see the cutest little minion peaking out of my stocking on the fireplace. Then it was time for brunch and mimosas while opening gifts and skyping with my parents and brother in CT.

On Saturday, I met up with Pamela at our favorite Mexican place for some margaritas before having a beer flight and playing some corn hole at the new brewery across the parking lot. How cute are those paddle boards that they serve the flights in?
Then it was time to go enjoy a fun game night at Emily and K's which included quality time with the adorable Miss Lola. I never pass up an opportunity to love on a bulldog pupper! Emily also sent us home with some Christmas treats including the new CAH expansion pack, a festive votive holder, and a super pretty scarf which was so sweet of her.
