Tattoo? Done.

I closed my eyes for the whole 5 minutes and focused on my lollipop. The pain was very tolerable. And I really love that it’s in my handwriting!

And if you look at it upside down, it’s looks like our little family:

This was Tayler’s: Yaweh Love of Mine This Life is Yours

Christmas dinner party? Done.

Not a lot of pictures to share, but I was rather proud of my cranberry sangria, succulent centerpieces and mitten party favors (Kristin‘s idea).  I simply ran out of time to do everything I wanted to do… and have LOTS of cranberries to prove it. Makes me a little sad because I had all of these cutesy ideas! But, overall, it was a lovely evening with our friends and I couldn’t be more blessed to have them in my life.

And our gift exchange game brought me a new bowl for my Wednesday night pasta cravings:

In other news we decided to put up our tree. I’ve also been busy putting together Christmas baskets for our families this holiday. Think Easter, but for Christmas.

Lastly, I’m been overwhelmingly in love with my husband lately. I don’t know what I’d do without his “Good morning love” emails, to-do lists and reassuring words when I start doubting the world (or my tattoo). I love him even more for fancying up our cocktails. I think he’s officially trained!!! ;)

Thank you God for great friends, an extremely loving husband and pumpkin pie.
