Merry Christmas, from our little family to yours! 

most recent favorites

With holiday parties approaching, and all other Christmas events.. everyone is in search of new and fabulous outfits. Some of my favorites right now are classic pieces that you will not regret having in your closet.

Heres is two things on my WISHLIST: ahem (edwin)

CELINE! I am dying to have this bag in all black. DYING! I love the open wings that you can have in or out to versatile the look. GIVE ME!

Kendra Scott rings have been on my wishlist for a while. They are so cute and fun and I loved the layered look of the gold and stone!

Here is whats in my closet:

FUR! fur has been hot and out for years... but adding that pop of color is just what it needs! i love my fur pieces!

on the rave PIKO TOPS! I have about 4 of these and love the way they fit. They are great for layering and look awesome with fun leggings and boots!

I love to pair the next two items together.. Gives that edgy feel and still warm enough with some tights and booties. 

Leather is my favorite. I am obsessed. My skirt is very similar to this one with the pleats. 

What are you wearing this holiday season?

Last Friday was 80 degrees. Today... the low is like 40. ugh. Welcome to South Carolina. 

This past weekend, I finally got to put up the Christmas Decorations. Edwin was playing in a softball tournament for Toys for Tots (so cute). So I was stuck to put everything up by myself. I always make someone else put the lights on the tree. well... this time there was no one else. I did EVERYTHING. 

I must say, with my cup of coffee, some Christmas tunes I was rocking it out. 

love my little crazy elf shoes as the tree topper. :)

Sunday, we road tripped it up to Spartanburg to visit the most loved baby in the world. (and cutest)This was the first time Edwin was getting to meet him. He was so excited and of course being such a baby hog. Eli has already gained some weight and is getting more precious by the day. The next time we see him it will be Christmas and that he will be like 3 weeks old! Time is already flying. 

waiting on a MAN

Well.. more like a baby :)

So as some of you may know.. ELI was born yesterday. I am slightly obsessed with him already.

Just to sum it up for all of you-

Candace has been contracting for the past like eh..two months or so. Thanksgiving when we were all together.. they seemed to be pretty close to each other but she just kept on doing her thing. We are all such busy bees and they didnt seem to phase her. Monday mid-morning at work mom called and told me she was going in to be checked and she would let me know what was going on.

Needless to say a little back and forth, back and forth. ELI WAS COMING. They were going to break her water and have a baybay. :) Luckily by this time I was off work and mom, courtney and I RUSHED to the hospital. um... no need to rush.

We got there- and she was already about 5 CM dilated and things were moving right along. until he stopped and made us wait..and wait. Court and I napped for an hour and as SOON as we were getting some deep sleep mom was FREAKING and yelled 'it was time'.

To be able to witness my nephews birth.. was the most special time in my life so far. Josh delivered Eli, so she could have three more people in the delivery room. We were so blessed to be able to love on Candace and Eli as soon as he was born.

Eli Eugene Prince- You are the most perfect baby I have ever laid eyes on. I am so glad I got to see you enter this world and I will never forget it. You are going to grow up to be the smartest, sweetest and most LOVED baby. I cant wait to see you laugh, become a toddler, go to preschool, highschool proms and many more memories. we sure do love you baby e.

Before and After- Excuse the hot mess appearance. It was a long night. 

 

Candace asked for one thing.. CHAMPS toast ha. (only in our family)

Mama and Baby.

Seconds after being born. LOVE!

Goodbye, November

The fact today is DECEMBER 2nd, is blowing my mind. I feel like we just started November. eh.

Alot happened this week, including.. (2 day work week), Thanksgiving with two amazing families and of course Carolina Football.

Thanksgiving was so perfect. We headed down to the farm for lunch early on Thursday. Of course, ate WAY too much there and spent time with Edwin's precious family. love them so much. After lunch, we too high tailed it to Spartanburg to my sisters house (yes, the pregnant one... SHE out of all people wanted to host thanksgiving this year) ha. side note ( ELI WILL BE HERE ANY DAY NOW.) Edwin and I could barley eat dinner we were still so stuffed from lunch. we pushed through! haha. Friday, we got up early and had breakfast and did some lovely black friday shopping. I wasn't looking for anything special this year so I picked up some random things.. here and there.

here is our two families: (missing a few) but sure do love them.

Saturday, was the rivalry game of the year - Carolina v. Clemson. Needless to say, I wasn't too worried. 

Sunday, we headed BACK to the farm to take our Christmas pictures ( kind of late) whoops. here is a (sneak sneak peak) of one: they turned out great cant wait to show you the Christmas cards! 

needless to say... we were non stop on the go! we planned on decorating for thanksgiving in the mix of all that.. but clearly that didn't happen so this weekend I am making a list- cleaning, decorating and more decorating.  LOVE this time of year.
