Today I'm linking up with A Little Dash of Ash for her Instagram Party. This past weekend was full of holiday cheer and multiple celebrations with our friends. It definitely got us in the Christmas spirit!
1. Pretty packages 2. My Friday OOTN 3. Againn's dessert in a jarFriday afternoon our house became gift wrapping central. Within a couple of hours every package was wrapped and either placed under the tree or shipped to family. I can't tell you how good it felt to check all of our shopping and wrapping off of my list. Friday evening I hopped on the metro and met VABeau in DC for his job site's Christmas dinner at Againn. It was a lot of fun to meet his coworkers and their spouses/significant others. I cannot say enough great things about Againn. Their cocktail list was out of this world, the food was delicious, and our service could not be beat. The whole group hit it off so well that we all ended up doing a mini bar crawl after dinner and it ended up being a great evening.
1. Hostess gifts 2. At party #2 Saturday nightI am obsessed with my Erin Condren gift labels. They are so festive and immediately transform a simple bottle of wine into a personal gift. Saturday evening we had two parties on the schedule so I labeled up two bottles of wine and we made our way to Arlington. Our first stop was a farewell party for our friends Kristin and Ryan. They will be moving to Austin in the New Year and it was so nice to see them before they start their exciting journey. We then made our way into DC for a festive Christmas party and ornament exchange at the Tucker home. It was a busy but fun night celebrating with friends.
1. Elise's fabulous brunch spread 2. The gingerbread house creator hard at work 3. The C&C gingerbread houseSunday morning was spent in the best way possible after a weekend full of parties, a homemade brunch with friends. We shared mimosas and delicious food while relaxing/recovering with some of our favorite people. Sunday evening to complete our holiday decor, I decided to decorate our gingerbread house. It started out as "my project" but next thing I know, VABeau had the icing in hand and took charge of the design of our little house. We had so much fun decorating it and I think it turned out pretty well!
How was your final weekend before Christmas?
It looks like a great weekend! Congrats on finishing up all of your Christmas shopping. We spent Saturday celebrating Christmas with my family, and then Sunday was a relaxing Christmas cookie baking day!
