Christmas in Instagrams

We had a great three-day Christmas weekend. I'm sad it's over! We had the house lit up all festive, Christmas music playing, yummy candles burning...it was so special to me.
Recognize the fabric garland from this DIY Tutorial?
She crawled right under my chin and I just about died it was so sweet.
We went out to dinner with friends on Christmas Eve.
Then the boys got extra creative with some cookie decorating.
Christmas morning we got brunch at a little restaurant in Laguna Beach.
We went there last Christmas as well, so might as well make a tradition out of it!
At night we made a nice Christmas dinner.
Rack of lamb, couscous, and stuffed artichokes.
It was a cozy, homey weekend. Just what was needed!
