Day of fun! I decided to take last Friday off from work to get ready for Christmas. I'm not usually a fan of last minute but it's been so busy lately so I went to Target and bought most of my gifts for the fam, co-workers, gift exchanges, etc. All I have to say, is thank goodness for Pinterest - I got so many creative gift ideas from there this year! Here are just a few...

| Made this for my mom - she loves tea after dinner! |

| Added this to the basket below for Ryan's parents |

Made this for Ry's parents in NY
"I wish we could be there to make you dinner but this is our little way to treat you to a delish meal! Enjoy!" |
After all the fun holiday shopping was finished, Friday night Ry and I explored DC for the evening! We enjoyed Grillfish for dinner - I had the Rockfish with sweet onion sauce and Ry enjoyed Swordfish. We shared the mussels in a creamy wine sauce, which was out-of-this world amazing (Disclaimer: not ToneItUp approved - ooops!).
Then we walked towards the White House, snapped some gorgeous photos -
Made our way to see the National Christmas Tree. This is a tradition I usually do with my dad on Christmas Eve - we would enjoy dinner at his DC house and then venture off to Macy's for last minute Christmas shopping and then to see the tree. I wanted to keep this tradition alive. So in his memory, Ry and I went to see the tree.

| Delaware Tree - for my newly married BFF who now lives in DE! |
 |

As you can see, I'm ready for Christmas! But I'm even more ready for the New Year. I have always loved New Year's Eve and this year we are celebrating in Ocean City with the entire family - lots to celebrate! Are you ready for the holiday? Or better yet, can you believe it's almost 2012!?
