Christmas Eve is just a week away! What?!? Not sure how that's possible!
I finished wrapping presents today to put under the tree, my boyfriend got the Christmas lights hung on the porch railing and my daughter and I colored in our coloring books this evening.
I have the BEST color book ever. Ugly Christmas Sweaters. Super fun and perfect for the holiday season!
Along with laundry, some light cleaning and a great breakfast this morning, I feel like it was a fabulous Sunday at home with my family! Love days like this!
