Christmas 2013

Well, it’s back to reality after a long, great trip home for the holidays. There was family time, presents, vegging out, and LOTS. OF. FOOD. Here are a few shots that I snapped over the break: 
The J. Crew bag I got my Mom for Christmas-I love it! Hopefully she liked it too 🙂
Couldn’t resist making stars out of the lights on my parents’ Christmas tree-a technique I learned in photography class!
We have a little family tradition of making a turkey dinner around Christmas. Here’s my Mom’s well-loved stuffing recipe. Best stuffing ever!
There was sweet potato pie, cranberries, Brussels sprouts….
Stuffing in the making. 
Delicious turkey, cooked to perfection. 
My Dad made make-ahead gravy from The NY Times….so incredible. Highly recommend!
And THIS for dessert. Homemade birthday cake (for me!)…heaven. Recipe coming to the blog soon! (See, I wasn’t kidding about a lot of food!)
Beautiful peel-y tree. 
Like an English garden…so lovely. 
Little deer. 
Pretty chandelier. 
Paris rooftop print from Etsy. 
Society Social Lolita Rattan Club Chair…comfy and gorgeous!

Hope you all had a great holiday, and hopefully some time off work!
