New Years Eve!!

We are headed down to West Palm Beach for New Years, and I can't wait! Are friends Matt and Nadine are throwing an around the world New Years Eve Party, we are doing Italy with Rosa Regale, Peroni, and homemade stromboli, and the hotel had a shopping package deal with the Gardens Mall, yay!





So I put together an outfit I think is cute something between these, a cowl neck black sweater tunic, and leggings, but have no clue which shoes to pick...leopard heels or booties...

Our First Christmas

We had such a wonderful first married Christmas! We spent the day at my parents with family and had such great time relaxing, enjoying yummy food and drink and celebrating the season. We started off the day just the two of us opening presents, sipping hot cocoa, and then enjoying a great breakfast Danny made of bacon and blueberry pancakes, yummy! I have to say this year I was completely spoiled! I guess because this is a special Christmas for us.

Stocking Stuffers: We are very practical when it comes to stocking stuffers...






Its a tradition that every year we get each other new PJs and open them up on Christmas Eve, this year we both got two pairs:


The Clarisonic skincare system:


I don't wear perfume but Vanilla Bean Noel lotion from Bath and Body Works, its so yummy smells like cookies and Dan loves it, I think its why we started dating, so since its only available during Christmas I get it every year from him:


I nice gift basket with a Lenox 1st Christmas ornament(we bought the Lenox cake one too), a Southern Living cookbook, and some caramel apple cider mix:



A 10 year old Tawny Port, my favorite:


Since I am one, Computer Engineer Barbie, I was so excited when this came out:


Two pairs of Banana Republic Yoga/Lounge Pants:


The Cutest Minimergency Kit that has 16 must haves just in case and its only about 2 inches, adorable, I got this for my friend Tara in October for her birthday and Danny went back and got it for me:


Jack Rogers silver thongs:


A custom ordered switch plate for our weirdly configured front door switch plate:


And a key holder to go above it, our living room has a leaf pattern on the cornice:



My Shampoo and Conditioner:


Coby speaker for my IPhone:


Okay so Danny was also spoiled...

Stocking Stuffers: See very practical...






Dan's fancy tooth brush we have replaced 3 times and I am sick of it not working, so I got him this one instead $5 sweet stocking stuffer:



Just a coincedence I got Dan two Pjs also, Dolphins and Marvel Comics:




Good Eats 2 book(he loves this show and cooks from it often):


Henckels 26 slot knife block:


Henckels 10 inch chef knife, scary isnt it!:

And a tool tote filled with little stocking stuffer tools and more candy, also a new Miami Dolphins house key:


And for the Puppies...


New leashes and collars in holiday colors, this brand Yellow Dog Design has the cutest patterns

Dont worry, we spoiled everyone too! I love shopping for and giving gifts!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, I will post all our gorgeous decorations once I get them downloaded. This was such a special first Christmas for us and cant wait to start the New Year!!

Our first Christmas Cards!

Long time no post!

Hey everyone!! Its been so long since I have blogged, I cant believe it. I have been so busy with work and my company blocked blogging. It was only a matter of time, they block everything fun, which is fine I should be working anyways. The last few months have been so busy with work, Junior League, decorating the house, and a New York trip.

I have really enjoyed all the work we have been doing with Junior League, we had our main fundraiser, Festival of Trees, and now we should settle down some. People create gorgeous trees and donate them to us, and we auction them off in a huge festival silent auction, with vendors, entertainment, parties, food and Santa! It was so much fun, our provisional class created a fun girls night out tree, with cute girlie ornaments, martini topper and a ton of girlie gift certificates.





I won an adorable "Not a creature was stirring" tree, with handmade mice ornaments all over it. We also had an super fun preview gala, that we got to dress-up for, and all of the donations go to a great cause Connected By 25, helping foster children have a smooth transition into adulthood, such a great organization!







We had a great Thanksgiving at our house again this year. Dan made his first fried turkey, and it was the best turkey I had ever had!! He also made his roasted turkey so I could still have gravy, everything was very yummy and was a reakky good time with friends and family.



The Puppies, Lily and Olive, are doing great! They have really matured and are not really puppies anymore, I call all dogs puppies though. They are still super sweet and snugly lap dogs, but have calmed down so much, they say that happens around year 2 which they will be in March, cant believe its been that long since we got them, the same week we got engaged. We love them so much, what a great decision to get both sisters!



Danny and I just had a wonderful trip to New York City last week, enjoying the cold weather, and everything decorated for Christmas, its so pretty up there this time of year, going to some great restaurants, and Christmas shopping, we had a wonderful time, and on our last day there we got some snow. And on our first day there we ran into Angelo from Top Chef, one of our favorite shows, he was super nice, talked to us for a while.



















All the windows were so gorgeous I will have to share more on another post, hopefully my posts get going again. Hope everyone has been doing well, and I hope to catch-up on your blogs also.
