a simply, pretty christmas

how is everyone feeling today? still in a food coma, or reinvigorated by the cyber monday deals? hope that your thanksgiving was relaxing and sweet. we had a great time eating with B's football team. let me tell you, if you think a hungry preggo can't compete with huge d-linemen at dinner, well ... you're right. they beat me by a mile. vegetarians really can't hang at the turkey day table with anyone. and also, those boys just don't mess around. fun fact: they made twenty-two turkeys for the football team and coaches. yowsa.

i'm excited to turn the page and focus on  c h r i s t m a s ! my hope this year is to keep it simple and keep it sweet and to treasure the little things ... riding around to look at snowy lights, watching Love Actually three thousand times, jamming to mariah carey's and otis redding's christmas albums, making our holiday cards, drinking hot cocoa and decorating ... and of course: going home to see our families for one last visit before this little bebe comes. so won't you join me in getting merry and bright and refusing to be stressed? 

couldn't resist posting this one ... 100% my favorite couple in Love Actually
