Christmas is Here!

What a fun filled, festive weekend!!

Friday after work Neil and I met my cousins Jim, Syd and their two boys for drinks at Gibson's in the Gold coast. It was a very fun night! The gold coast looked so festive and we laughed and caught up (mostly about the wedding) over some cocktails (the boys had Ginger Ale)! I love seeing Cameron and Brandon and it's been so fun to see them grow up over the years, they are two sweet, fun and funny little boys!

After drinks Neil went to dinner with his friend Nick and I headed home because there were cookies to be made for Saturday morning!

Saturday we headed to Christmas off Campus. Each year, the University of Dayton alumni association hosts this and it's a blase to see everyone and help out for the morning. Pattie Brosnan always does an amazing job and each year gets better and better!

After COC Neil and I went to lunch with Mary Kate, her sister Bridget and Miss Abby. It was such a great lunch and great to chat and catch up. It was snowing outside and the perfect winter day!

                                             How cute is this baby?! I LOVE the Christmas outfit!

Saturday night my sister Megan hosted a wine tasting party and it was SO.MUCH.FUN!! John, our wine expert was a lot of fun and brought about 12 bottles over for us all to taste. Every wine we tasted was delicious and it was so fun to catch up with Megan's friends. One of the couples there just got back from South Africa as well, so we chatted about that ALL NIGHT LONG! Megan is an amazing host and everything was perfect!

Shockingly, after a night of wine tasting Neil and I were pretty useless on Sunday and we just lounged and watched Christmas movies (and 16 and Pregnant. What else puts you in the Holiday spirit?!)

Oh, we got boots for Clark this weekend because the salt always gets in his paws and hurts him. They were the definition of a failure. Sadly I did not record a video, but watching him walk in those boots was classic.



Also, last week Neil and I went through our guest book and I found this pic: 





Might be one of my fave's from the whole day!
