Christmastime At the Gaylord...

 

 

 

Tuesday night Sarah and I drove into D.C. to visit the Gaylord hotel and see it all decked out for the holidays. This hotel is gorgeous in and of itself but seeing it all lit up and filled with Christmas decorations just made it that much more stunning. We saw the lighting of the tree and then walked around to look at all the lights. We finished our evening with dinner and great conversation at Cadillac Ranch. It was a great way to start off the week before Christmas!

Christmas 1964...

I came upon this picture of my mom the other day. It's from Christmas 1964. Of course I love old photos, but old Christmas photos are the best. Perhaps its all the tinsel that makes this one so magical.

Favorite Christmas Movies...

With only 12 days left until Christmas, that means I need to cram in watching my favorite Christmas movies as much as possible! We watch a lot of different Christmas stuff each year, but these are forever my favorites.

Wrapped...

I have most of my presents wrapped! We always try and have a different theme each year and this time it's gold and red. My favorite paper is this gold glitter-dot paper that we picked up at Target! It works perfectly with the pom pom trim from Anthropologie. Can you believe that Christmas is 12 days away?!
