**Please note our office will be closed Dec 24th and Dec 25th and we will reopen on Dec 26th**<\/em><\/p>\n

Hello friends! Can you believe this is my last Seven on Sunday before Christmas! Don’t’ know about you but this month has flown by so incredibly fast, faster than any I remember. I have been spread thin between being in my office, hosting a holiday luncheon, having social obligations, spending my treasured\u00a0 time with Phillip (best part) running around like a elf on steroids to purchase gifts, decorating my home, getting started with our renovation and the long decision making process that goes along with it…you can say I am pooped!<\/p>\n

I tend to compartmentalize my task list. Until Wed it was only about my holiday luncheon. Thursday was the luncheon and Friday and Sat were both designated as gift buying days and my self imposed deadline was Sat afternoon\/Sunday morning. Have relatives coming in tonight so I want to know whats done is done. I ran around like a crazy person but pleased to say I got just about everything done. When I realized I was at my threshold, I went home and ordered a bunch of things on Amazon that I was not finding and never was I so grateful to have Amazon. We got snow on Sat (unexpectedly) and between that and frigid temps moving in, it was really nice to be home until we had to go out that night.Today is a wrap up of a few odds and ends, then I am done….woo hoo!<\/p>\n

Hope this finds you doing well and also near completion with your own holiday prep, its so nice to know what’s done is done and you can sit back and enjoy the magic of the season with hopefully minimal stress. I want game playing, things cooking on the stove, being in my loungey clothes and just being home (oh and football blaring on the TV will be a given)\u00a0 OK, onward to my post today….<\/p>\n

1 THE MOST INSANELY BEAUTIFUL COOKIES!<\/strong> I cannot brag enough about these most beautiful cookies that super talented Cowtown Cookies made for me and my holiday luncheon. They are simply spectacular beyond words. I sent her pictures of my holiday decor an oh boy, did she knock this out of the park. I mean the detailing is just incredible!!! Too pretty to bite into. Thank you Morgan for making my cookie dreams come true. Will be doing a full recap post on my holiday luncheon in about a week…once I come up for air:) Click here to see the unparalleled work of cookie maestro Cowtown Cookies!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

2 SKYLIGHT PHOTO BOX <\/strong>This gift idea (for any occasional) always triggers such emotion in me as when I started to see my mothers decline with Alzheimers, I saw that one thing that brought a smile to her face were pictures of my sister and I and our families (especially when the kids were little) The best purchase I ever made was this Skylight photo box because even with\u00a0 from the miles, we could easily upload new pictures and she always had a revolving carousel of al kinds of wonderful pictures to enjoy.<\/p>\n

When she was not able to really express herself any more ( I get so choked up writing that) I loved sitting next to her and narrating and reminiscing about the backstory of each picture, it brought her a lot of joy even during that most difficult stage. This is truly a phenomenal gift and a few on my gift list are getting it this Christmas. Click here for more info<\/strong><\/em><\/a> ( you can also buy on Amazon)<\/p>\n

4 PHILLIP AT CHRISTMAS TIME! <\/strong>Best Christmas gift ever! Nothing can bring me joy quite like this little munchkin can. I have had a few really stressful days and all I needed was a cuddle with him and it was like an instant much needed tonic. He has truly stolen my heart (and my husband’s). We had such fun dressing him up in his little Santa outfit and he was quite the hit at my holiday luncheon, everyone was waiting their turn to hold him and he loved every minute.We also took him to meet Santa and will treasure these pictures forever! We are really looking forward to his first Christmas!<\/p>\n
