Happiest Holidays! (+ Taking A Break)

Happy holidays, friends! The past couple of months have admittedly been a blur, filled with a whole lot of extra work hours, house buying stuff (we close the week after next!), and general holiday craziness. Robbie leaves the day after Christmas for the band's New Year's run and I haven't even started wrapping gifts (or packing our house up), which is so ridiculous it's comical. This is actually the first time ever that I was finished shopping an entire week before Christmas, but aside from that, I'm a hot holiday mess. We also have Essley's birthday on the 28th, mine on January 1st, and Emmett's on January 9th. It's a very busy time around here (as I'm sure it is for you as well!), but as long as we stay heathy this year (because last year we sure didn't), I'm fine with that. Busy holiday seasons are the best, honestly.

Essley's excitement level about Christmas day is off the charts. Emmett doesn't quite get it yet, but he knows that Santa is coming. I have always loved the holiday season, but having these two has made my affinity increase exponentially. I cannot wait to see their faces when they wake up on the 25th.

I will be taking my annual break from the blog to spend time with my family and catch up on non-work things, starting today. I'll be stopping in next week for a post, but we won't officially be back until after the New Year. I'm sure I'll still be active on Instagram (because I'm sure I'd, like, combust if I wasn't on social media for an entire, like, 10 days), so in the meantime, you can come hang with me over there.  

However you celebrate (or don't celebrate!), and whatever your plans may be, I wish you the happiest of holidays!

P.S.  If you are doing any very last minute shopping for your little ones, we got our kids several wonderful items from this roundup of kids' holiday gifts that make a difference in the world.
