Merry Christmas Eve! I hope you had a fun holiday weekend, we sure did! We had a holiday dinner Friday night, went to a friend’s house to watch the boat parade again Saturday night and snuck in one last visit with Santa yesterday. This time we brought Jeff along too and didn’t torture Crosby by making her sit on Santa’s lap…. we still got the Santa photos though.

We went to a really cute story time/sing along at Pelican Hill Resort. They’ve had this going all month and we finally got in on the last day. It starts out with Santa singing and reading stories to the kids and then they can take pictures with him after. A good way to get warmed up! Crosby was definitely interested in the story and singing part and I’m sure next year she’ll be even more into it.

I wore this cute dress from BB Dakota I’ve had for a couple months now. It’s under $100 and perfect for a fun winter event. It’s not maternity, but is bump friendly if you size up. I went up one size and it was a little tight at this point. Maybe go up two sizes if you’re further along in your pregnancy. I’m just happy I got a chance to wear it this year before I’m too big. It was perfect with my OTK boots.

I think Crosby might have stolen the show in her SGT. Pepper’s jacket, dress and high tops. I’ve never seen anything cuter. Check out her face in the first Santa photo… pure terror as she practically rips Jeff’s shirt off of him.

Hope you have a very Merry Christmas! Thank you so much for reading, following and supporting me!

Just a little casual and practical Sunday morning outfit. Kidding, obviously, but how fabulous is this romper? I think it would be so cute for a holiday party with OTK boots or even tights. Love making rompers a little more winter-y with tweaks like these.

I can’t believe it’s Christmas week and I can’t believe I’m six and a half months pregnant. Soon it will be 2017 and a little after that I’ll have a baby! Every year flies by faster than the last but I’m trying to slow down a little and enjoy the holiday season. Sometimes it’s fun to get a little dressed up and go check out holiday decorations. My favorite new little area near our house, Lido Marina Village, is so cute right now. They have Christmas trees and lights and wreaths all over. I want to set up camp there and never leave.

With less than two weeks to go until Christmas I’m sure some of you are already thinking ahead to New Years Eve. I won’t be doing much celebrating this year, (maybe from my couch with some sparkling cider) but I know a lot of you will be heading out-of-town. Las Vegas is always a popular spot to ring in the new year and I think Aria Resort and Casino would be the perfect place to stay if you’re thinking about heading out there. The location is pretty great, it’s very central on the strip with a tram that takes you down to The Bellagio or up to The Monte Carlo. The resort and casino are so nice and clean I never felt like I was getting a lot of second-hand smoke like most casinos on the strip. And there are SO MANY great restaurants right on site. I wish we’d had more time to try them all.

Just a quick post to share five easy outfits to re-create this Thanksgiving if you’re stumped by what to wear. Most of the looks are pretty casual and easy –  you might already have similar pieces in your closet already.

And just like that, it’s November! I’m fully embracing the little bit of fall we get here and have been wearing my over-the-knee boots every chance I get. I’ve been loving wearing them with dresses, the colors in this one go so well with the dark gray boots. But do you want to know the best part about this dress? It’s just over $20! How crazy is that?! The print and colors are perfect for this time of year.
