Festive Weekending

Another fun and festive weekend has come and gone, and we are less than 2 weeks away from Christmas which is just craziness to me!

I started off Friday with a creme brûlée coffee from Dunkin before heading out that afternoon for a second round of coffee in a beautiful red cup and happy hour at one of my favorite local spots. After a yummy mimosa and buffalo chicken eggrolls, we walked around to the cute little shops and took in the Christmas lights.









Saturday was the Christmas parade downtown, and baby girl was mesmerized by all the pretty lights. The highlight of the parade was seeing the Budweiser Clydesdales. Such beautiful horses!

Sunday, I went down the street to my fav neighbor's for our annual gift wrapping party. We enjoyed brunch complete with mimosas while wrapping the last of our Christmas gifts for family and friends. Girl time with lovely ladies is always good for the soul.

  26. So maybe I need to host a Christmas wrapping party with my girlfriends to help ease the pain with wrapping gifts! It's totally not my favorite thing at Christmas time. The rest of your weekend sounds like such a blast, and the Christmas parade looked like such a blast!

  32. Are you sure you just had a baby...because you look AMAZING! Go girl! I love that outfit and booties. The Clydesdale's are so beautiful and I'm glad Serena experienced all the lights. A wrapping Mimosa party sounds like a fabulous idea-may have to do that next year! Hope your week is great girlfriend :)

  33. So fun and I adore your sweater dress! Love that baby girl enjoyed all the lights and wish she could come brunching wish us! But I know that's not really doable. Hopefully you guys can come over for Christmas dinner with the fam cause I've already gone shopping for baby fashionista and would love your company!!

  43. Your approach have to also prevent each physical and mental overtraining; doing too much too soon can deliver disastrous effects, together with the ripping or tearing of the muscle groups, straining of the ligaments, dislocation of the joints, and even the breaking of the bones. http://musclegainfast.com/ef13-muscle-supplement/
