Life University Night of Lights & What I Wore

If you live in the Atlanta metro area, you defiantly need to check our Life University's Christmas lights! They are very affordable, not to many people, very kid friendly and so much fun! We have been going a few years now and its always a holiday treat!

We started out with a visit to the petting zoo! Turns out it was the same company they did the girls Peppa Pig party 2 years ago!

Check out how cute these goats are, I need a farm!

Petting the animals with Daddy

Nicole loves these little birds!

Some cute little elves!

Nicole loves walking thru all the tree lights, so magical!

Family selfie!

Christmas wonder XOXO

Watching the ponies go by

Thumbs Up on getting to ride the pony!

Daddy surprised the girls with these light up swords...AWESOME!!

After every visit we swing by Del Taco for some dinner, yum!

Christmas lights can be exhausting

Or maybe having a 5 and 2 year old is

This outfit is an oldie but a goodie!

I can't even remember where I got it but its a sleeveless blouse that I just paired with a black cardigan and printed skirt, love this color combo!

If you follow me on Instastories this is the shirt I talked about from Outlander, my new favorite series. In English, the shirt translates to I Am Ready!!

The motto of the Fraser Clan :-)

Lilly P on top of Lilly P for the win!!

My cold weather outfit for cheering on the Dawgs! This dress is from Old Navy.

Rudolph on repeat!

I got this cute tee last year at Target, I think they have the best seasonal tees and just paired it with some dress pants and a navy blazer!

I have an entire section of Christmas cloths I love wearing to work and special dinners! I wore this new Shein.com top to our Carbonates dinner at Atlanta Seafood Company, its super nice and so good! I paired it with this red pencil skirt.

Pearls and Plaid for a Comfy and Cozy look!

Love this new dress from Shein.com, I first saw it from Jennifer at Dimples and Tangles, she has an awesome Instagram feel and blog, check her out!

This dress also came from Old Navy, I love it cause it has an elastic waist! I paired it with my Walmart navy tights and Amazon navy vest to keep warm!

I am hearing reports of snow in GA tomorrow, we shall see!

Elf On The Shelf Breakfast, Christmas Bath Decor and Christmas Cookies

Early December always brings one special visitor to our breakfast table....Elfie!!!

Elfie comes down every December to keep a close eye on everyone's behavior during the day and reports back to Santa at night, especially Daddy's behavior!

Its always fun making this breakfast, lots of pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs and snowflake donuts!

These Elf on the Shelf plates and cups were a small investment from Pottery Barn a few years ago but I am so glad I did! We enjoy them every year!!

I also picked up these advent calendars from Trader Joe's, a buck each!!

Ready to eat some yummy breakfast with Elfie!

Daddy reading about Elfie's journey from the North Pole

After all that yummy food, a nap was in order under the tree

I also added a little Christmas cheer in our restroom with some tree garland and a little deer candle holder

I got these cute little signs and green candle holder from Walmart last year

While Coco was snoozing Taylor and I made some yummy Rudolph sugar cookies!

Like me, Taylor loves to sit by any Christmas tree, so sweet!!

I am leaving work early today for our first parent teacher conference, I am nervous but excited to see what Mrs. Megan tells us!

Home Alone Movie Night

December kicks of Christmas Movie Nights for us!! There are so many great classics out there, I think we had the Freeform channel on all weekend with all the family movies going. Taylor has really starting liking Home Alone, especially all the scenes of Marv and Harry trying to break into Kevin's house, she thinks it hilarious and so do we!

Of course I had to pull out our Bulldog tree to show our spirit!



"Ahh, a lovely cheese pizza just for me"-Kevin

Go easy on the Pepsi Fuller!!

"Keep the change your filthy animal!"

Feeding Daddy some Christmas cookies

"This is it, don't get scared now!"-Kevin

Rudolph the red nosed cupcake!

Home Alone has been one of my families favorite movies for years, I hope I can pass that down to my girls!!!

GO DAWGS!! Picking out our Christmas Tree, & Christmas Den

First things first!!

Can I tell you how excited The Bulldog Nation is with their win Saturday night!!

It was so awesome and so much fun!

The Dawgs get a chance in the playoffs now and we are so proud of them! They looked great against an Auburn team that only weeks before manhandled us. But they came back and got their sweet revenge.....GO DAWGS!!!

After our visit with Santa we took our sleight to pick out a Xmas tree from Pike's!

This was our first time picking out a tree from Pike's and we were very impressed. Their selection was huge and tons of flocked trees which are all the rage lately!

The girls loves running thru all the trees, I was just praying they did not knock them over!

The girls watching the guys tie the tree up!

Here is our decorated family tree!! We love it and get excited to see it everyday twinkling around the house!

And here is our Christmas mantle! Nothing really new this year but still love it!

The stockings all came from Pottery Barn and of course Pricilla and Richie Bear from Aunt Sarah and cute Snoopy from my Granny!

Snuggle up!

I added some candy canes over the couch window along with a cozy Walmart red snowflake throw blanket. The Merry Christmas pillow case came from Ebay.

This orange chair usually sits where the tree is, but I moved it over here for now. I think that little pillow came from Lakeside Collection a few years ago.

This Santa is a Kee Family treasure! He dances to Jingle Bell Rock and my girls love it. He first belonged to my Grandmother and my Mom let me borrow it for our house for the girls!

Another view of our den

I picked up this cute little sign from the Target Dollar Spot for the TV box and added some red bows on the candles.

We spend a lot of time in our den, I love the times when I can sit on the couch and look at all my pretty twinkle lights!

Pretty much me the entire month of December :-)



Family Santa Visit 2017

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Happy Friday!!

And Happy December!

I hope the final month of 2017 is your best one yet!!

I wanted to share with you our visit with Santa at North Point Mall today!

We have been visiting Santa at North Point Mall ever since Taylor was first born, we always have a memorable experience. Do you see someone familiar peaking thru the trees?!

I was so happy to see North Point changed it up this year. Every year I dread the Santa line because they put it right next to the escalator, my girls want to ride it! So I stress out waiting in line while they try to escape to ride!

This year they put all kinds of being toys for the kids to play with while they waited...genius!!

And a really cool Lego race track!!

A cute little Christmas!

And then...

Don't leave me Mommy!!

NOT Merry and Bright

Things calmed down once Mommy and Daddy came back into the picture

And here is our 2017 Santa Family picture!!

After grabbing some Chick Fil A, pizza and gyro at the food court we treated the girls to a ride on the merry go round!

Cheers!!

Daddy's girls

She loved this merry go round!!

Our Santa visit was a  fun adventure, a great family tradition!!

Check out Taylor's cute Bulldog pullover Savannah gave her. Our Bulldogs have one of their biggest games tomorrow afternoon. I know they can do this...REVENGE!!!

GO DAWGS!!
