The Best Way to Spread Christmas Cheer

Is Singing Loud for All to Hear!
{{ohh, Elf}}

Highlights from my [last] weekend:

Navs Christmas Party

Celebrating Laura and Ben's marriage with a bridal shower.
It was a success! it was fun. there were great pictures taken.
i'm pretty sure Laura enjoyed it! which is all that matters.
and then a lovely dinner in Cambridge with some pizza, yummy hot chocolate, and a stroll through the city with great friends.
being there made me miss home so much. and the ocean. it just feels like home.
i really hope that living somewhere near Boston/Revere next year is as great as i'm hoping it will be.

and best of all, because i was not expecting it in the slightest--
walking down the street and looking up to see ANTHROPOLOGIE right before my eyes, sign lit up n all.
i almost died of excitement. i screamed. i pointed. i smiled so huge. i grabbed and squeezed Jenn. i excitedly asked to go in! and then i didn't shut up talking about it for almost the rest of the night.
goodness is it just so beautiful inside! i plan on going back over Christmas break and browsing for a while and hitting up the Border Cafe as well. (ahh such good food and soda! they ahve the best soda. so perfectly bubbly!) and it's so easy to find! get right off the T in Harvard Square.

4th annual ELF NIGHT!
Tara cooked us such a delicious stew, it was amazing.
Me, Jenn, Kait, Tara, Chels and Kate sat around to a cozy dinner.
and then we did the typical Elf Night traditions which included:
hot chocolate, marshmallows, smores poptarts, fudge, gum drops, sugar, sugar & more sugar.

we got cozy on couches and watched and laughed together.
it was lovely, as usual.
what a sweet tradition is has been to look forward to each year.
it truly is so special.

and now we have been quoting the movie ever since. well even before then actually. it's just so dang funny!

i'll leave with this:

"SANTAAAA!!!!!! I KNOW HIMMM!!!!!!!!"

  1. haha. I wish I could have been there to see your first Anthropologie experience. I didn't go in, but the one in NYC has some incredibly Christmas window displays!
