ready for santa.

These sweet babes are ready for Santa!

 

Christmas morning!

After opening gifts from Santa we headed to Shug and Pops' house for lunch and to open even more gifts with our cousins. I'd say that we all had an incredibly blessed Christmas.

...and to all a GOODNIGHT.

ate, drank, and were merry.

No big Christmas party for the Thames this year, so we improvised.

Last night, the Robersons graciously hosted a festive, more intimate gathering instead.

We ate the most delicious four course meal prepared by a private chef, drank, and were merry!

It was a top notch night with top notch friends.

different this year.

The Homewood Christmas Parade looked a little...okay, a lot different this year. But, it's a tradition that we are here for, always. Even if it means sitting in dead stop traffic for an hour to see five floats.

We are thankful for sweet friends who make everything more fun!

We love you, Homewood!

best night with my best friends.

I have really been missing my best girlfriends lately, so I reached out to see if we could come up with a date to get together over Christmas. Luckily, we found a date that worked for everyone and before we knew it, they were in Birmingham!

We started the afternoon off catching up over charcuterie and cocktails. Then, we headed to Queen's Park for a Christmas cocktail before dinner at OvenBird. We topped the night off back at home, fireside, drinking wine and talking about all the things.

 There's always a blurry pic or two in the mix with these three. So much laughter, so much love. Having them in town for the night was just what my heart needed.

Best night with my best friends!
