Enjoying the Holidays

Happy day before the night before Christmas!  I can't believe Christmas is two days away...where did this month go?  It's been so busy between family activities, school things, the shop, Christmas parties and gatherings...it's been non-stop!  Like I always say though, busy is good.  I'd rather be busy than not, but you better believe I'm thrilled to be on "vacation" right now.  I love having my kids home and just enjoying time together.  The next two weeks will be great.

I thought I'd post a look today that I wore on Friday.  I got together with a bunch of friends for breakfast to celebrate some of their December birthdays.  I pulled out a few of my favorite Anthro purchases from this year to wear together:

Original Polyvore Set for this look can be found HERE

Belted Cattleya Tunic-Anthropologie
Always Skinny Jeans-Gap
"Siri" Knee-High Boots-Miz Mooz
Candy Cluster Pendant Necklace-Anthropologie
Bead Bracelets-Tiffany
Bardot Earrings-Stella & Dot
Fireworks Ring-Banana Republic

I thought the red was festive and this jacket is seriously one of my favorites.  I need to find more opportunities to wear it I think.  

So are you all ready for Christmas?  I think I almost am.  I have one more batch of caramels to make (this will make six total), cards have been sent and shopping is ALMOST done.  I thought I was done but when I wrapped all my presents the other night I found I'm a little off on the numbers...one kid has a few less than everyone else so I'm off to find a few more this afternoon to make it all even.  Heaven forbid one have more than any other! ;)  We've got some fun plans with friends this year.  We don't live by family so holidays are spent with friends if we stay home.  We're going bowling on Christmas Eve morning and then on Christmas day (in the afternoon) we're headed to the movie theater to see "Frozen" with a group of friends.  It'll be a low-key, fun Christmas which is just how I like it. 

Before I go I wanted to share a link to an amazing video/song I came across the other day...I've been playing it non-stop.  So moving and beautiful:

  4. Love that red top. I am almost ready. But you remind me I need to count presents to make sure things are even. Otherwise, we will not be having a 'Merry' Christmas.
