Holly Jolly Apartment, Thanksgiving, and Birthday!

Hello! It's been a great week, full of food and celebration...

Happy birthday to me!
Emily made me this awesome garland! 
Birthday/Thanksgiving Bingo!
My birthday cake of Dixie Salad -- the best pomegranates in the world with apples and fresh whipped cream.

It was such a fun, happy day! Feasting and presents. Doesn't get any better than that. Sean and I spent the rest of the break with my family, Emily, Taylor, and Daphne, mostly. It was HARD to leave.

I came home and decorated my apartment...

Winter-y wreath!
Garland (thanks, Em!) and shimmering star lights.
A little cheer for my bedroom!
My mom got me knew flannel sheets and a super cozy blanket for my bed.
Heaven.
Sean's and my stockings!
My tiny tree! Click to make it big...
All lit up!
It's the most wonderful time of the year! I have Pandora playing my favorite Christmas mix (based on the Christmas Waltz by the Carpenters) and have already started Christmas shopping. So happy it's almost December!
