Christmas Weekending


Hello & happy Tuesday friends!! Hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekends. Of course it went far too fast, especially since it seems like we wait for this weekend all year, but we still have a short work week & another holiday weekend to look forward to! This Christmas looked a little something like this…

{Family Dinners}


We spent Christmas Eve with Gary’s side of the family & enjoyed some delicious food, a few very intense games of fibbage & a little dessert by candlelight because the power on their block randomly shut off! 


{new pom pom hat from my sister}



Christmas day we switched gears and celebrated the second night of Hannukah & Christmas with my sister and the family! 


{Lived in Outfit}


I shared this outfit on Instagram last night & these over the knee boots (currently 40% off) & suede bag have been on major repeat!! I didn’t think I’d get into OTK boots, mostly because I didn’t think they’d look that great on me, but these are so flattering! The back is a super fun lace up with stretchy material so you’re calves don’t feel like their suffocating and they run true to size! 


{Movie Traditions}



Since we started dating, Gary & I have gone to see a movie during the holiday weekend as I’m sure most of you do as well. This year was no different & I somehow got talked into seeing the Star Wars movie, but that’s fine with me since it means I get my pick of chick flicks for at least the next 2 movies we watch! We go to the theater where we can preselect our seats & lie back like we’re at home and the best part is that the ticket prices are exactly the same! 



Of course there was a lot of playing with new presents & since it feels like gift cards burn holes in my pockets I did a little more shopping to capitalize on those sales!! How was your weekend? Link up below to share it with us! Also, the winner from the Paperless Post Giveaway is Kate – thanks so much to everyone who entered!

    You guys are just so adorable and your pictures are always stunning. I never thought I would love OTK boots so much but mine have definitely seen so much wear this year that I think snagging a black pair on sale is going to be necessary. Happy New Year B!

    It's so great you go to split up your time between both families. Your sis always goes all out with her festive decoration and table settings and the new pom pom hat is adorable. So great to keep up with some of your holiday traditions like going to the movies. How did you like watching with movie in 3D?

    Biana, girl, you are absolutely GORGEOUS! I LOVE that first shot under "Lived in Outfit"!!! I'm glad you had a wonderful Christmas and start to Hanukkah! Your sister seems to always do a marvelous job with the table settings for your holiday gatherings! I love the little candy cane napkin holders, how cute! I also love that beanie you she got you; you two look like twins! I agree, it did go way too fast, but I'm being optimistic in that we do have one holiday weekend left. We're planning to spend it in Brooklyn this year, which I'm really looking forward to! Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you have a wonderful short week!

    KC and I don't really have any movie going traditions around the holidays, but looking back we probably do go at least once during the holidays.. so maybe it's an unintentional tradition lol. we also saw star wars (did you like it?) – KC is a pretty big fan, I am kind of eh, but not against it. I really like Felicty Jones. KC doesn't give me chick flicks in return, very rude. LOVE that picture of you all in the ornament – so cute!
