Since we’re visiting family for the holidays, my husband and I opened our gifts to one another a few days early. We turned on the twinkling lights, played some Christmas music, and opened up a bottle of wine while we enjoyed opening our stockings and gifts. My big present from Whitney was a KitchenAid Stand Mixer, which I have been wanting for so long and for which I am so thankful! That night I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies with it, and we turned on a Christmas movie. We’ve just about concluded our first year together in Los Angeles, and it was such a nice little evening to top it off. Santa even visited a little early, so Kipling could open her gift. 😉

A Kong Frisbee!

She was so excited to go outside and play with it!

My new mixer! Isn’t it pretty? 🙂

Happy to have a new video game.

We got to celebrate the past couple of days with Whitney’s family, and today we head to celebrate with mine. Three Christmases…the celebration continues! 🙂

I hope you had a very merry Christmas.
