We have a jam-packed weekend ahead of us ... a concert tonight, some holiday fun Saturday afternoon, a mamas + babies night Saturday, and meeting Ho-Ho on Sunday!
(When we were little, we referred to Santa as "Ho-Ho" and now I've got Ian saying it to Camille. Love it. Makes my heart happy.)

Kid's holiday clothes are too much fun. I am enjoying this season more than a person should just for the fact that I can dress C up in fun clothes!

For my girlie night on Saturday, I think a new cocktail recipe is in order -- any suggestions? I would like something not too sweet, maybe something that involves rosemary, and I also have some cranberries on hand if that helps. Hit me up with some fun ideas!
On my Christmas list to Ian I'd like a "Baby's First Christmas" ornament for our tree. Which gets your vote? I think I know which one I love.
As I sit here sipping (gulping) my coffee ... I need this mug in my life. On sale now for $14.99. Santa -- take notes!
TGIF y'all, and hope you will join in on Five on Friday this week! Cheers to the weekend, and I hope you find yourself under the mistletoe with the one you love.
Such fun Christmas cheer! I love those trees, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI do love Kid's Christmas apparel. My husband knows I'm a sucker for cute Christmas pajamas and outfits :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the link-up!
I love ornament 1! So classy and pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love the third ornament! So pretty :) Have a happy weekend!!
ReplyDeleteahhh i want those bloomers! so cute.. and loving the last christmas ornament :) have fun this weekend with ho-ho :) xo jillian - cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteThis Holiday 5 post was so fun to read. I'm blaming you for me clicking on the ornament link. I will be purchasing the first one today!!

aaahh, i like ornament #2 - thanks for the reminder, I've thought about baby's 1st christmas ornaments but I haven't had my eye out for one :/ i saw there was a cute pink carriage one there too
ReplyDeleteI love that tee and bloomers...too cute!! I love the 3rd ornament, but any would be so special!! I always love unpacking MY OWN first ornament and am so glad my mom saved it! :) Have fun this weekend!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a super fun weekend full of holiday cheer!:) I am loving both the first and second ornaments. The first is such a classic - one that will never go out of style. But the second one is just plain fun, and I love the whimsical painting on it. It definitely looks more girly to me than boyish, so I think it'd be perfect for Camille:)
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of ornament #1. Also, not quite a cocktail.. but mulled wine served with orange segments and cinnamon sticks is always fun and very festive if you have access to a crockpot.
ReplyDeleteI would recommend getting which ever ornament you love best that will not break! There is too much room for accidents as the children grow older.
ReplyDeleteugh, I'm the biggest slow poke with my shopping this year- I've only shopped for Lawter (who of course has no idea what's going on hah). For our family's annual holiday party we always do some sort of vanilla vodka/ginger ale/cranberry juice cocktail- great for a crowd! (rosemary would be great in it too!)
ReplyDeleteGet out of here with those cute bloomers - so stinking adorable!! I love choice #3 for the ornament - very pretty!! I love that mug - off to maybe buy it!! hope you have a great weekend!! xo, Biana BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteLove the ornament!
ReplyDeleteThose bloomers are precious! All the little Christmas dresses I see around are way too stinkin' cute! Love all the ornaments but I think I like the last one the best. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteThose bloomers... my word!!!! And isn't Christmas (and holidays in general) so much more fun w/ a mini in tow? Excited for y'all!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm going to be reading all the comments for good Christmas cocktails --- love hearing recommendations first hand!
Happy Friday, mama! XO.
The bloomers are so adorable! This Christmas is going to be so much fun! I love both choice 1 and 2 ornaments :)
ReplyDeleteI love all the ornaments -- but choice 1 looks like the least likely to ever get broken. I vote for that one.
ReplyDeleteFor a fun holiday drink that involves Rosemary - I had a great drink last year for a Girls Night. Wet Rosemary and roll it in sugar. Put the sugar Rosemary directly in your glass of Prosecco or Champagne- add Cranberries or Pomegranate seeds for color!
ReplyDeleteI'm about 80 percent done with shopping! PTL. I loooove ornament 3.
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying cranberry ginger ale and bourbon lately! I freeze some fresh cranberries as a festive way to help keep it cold, too. Love ornament number one. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteOrnament one is my favorite. Very classy and will match your tree every year for many years to come!
ReplyDeleteYou know I got you with cranberry and rosemary cocktails :)

I love the first ornament!
ReplyDeleteWe are in the same boat, I have so much more shopping to do! Yikes! And my vote is for the middle ornament. Classic.
ReplyDeleteThe first ornament without a doubt!
ReplyDeleteChoice 1!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness those bloomers and blooming gorgeous! I think that settles the debate, I need a new baby by the time Christmas rolls around again next year!!!! xx
ReplyDeleteI love those Christmas trees - the pastel colors are so different!
