So if you know me you know that I am super into Christmas. I love every part of it. Seeing family, decorating, seeing friends, giving/receiving presents, all the opportunities for DIY projects. This time of year is great, and while I already shared some of the stuff that I did this season, I thought I'd go ahead and share a few of the highlights of this Christmas season.

We broke out the Christmas decorations, and things got out of hand very quickly. |
