afternoons

An annual get together with old friends was followed by a coffee date with two of my best friends and an afternoon walk downtown. Its so nice to have everyone at home during the holidays!

It was a wonderful Wednesday!

first married christmas

Tyler and I stayed busy this holiday season. 

We had 4 Christmases this year and it was wonderful. We were surrounded by our amazing family and we had such a good time.

Tyler and I agreed, Christmas as an adult doesn't get much better than this...well, until we have kids of course!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

I got to spend last Thursday with this sweet boy.
Getting to spend a whole day with my nephew has been one of the many perks of living back in South Carolina again.
 He's so fun & silly!

PS: He calls me "Ah-ber" which may possibly be the cutest thing EVER!

its the little things

The brownie tradition started in 2006 when I moved to Columbia for college. When I would come home on weekends, Shawn, Ryan, and I would always make brownies. 

And, 6 years later, the tradition continues...

Our Friday night was spent at the Rockefeller Center in New York City seeing the beautiful Christmas decorations.

If this doesn't put you in the Christmas spirit, I don't know what will!

Merry Christmas!
