Hi friends, welcome back! I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and introduce you to our sweet little Violet. I didn’t mean to leave you all hanging. We’ve been enjoying all the newborn snuggles and joy she’s brought us so far. We’re looking forward to all the adventures and holidays ahead with her.
I didn’t make it to any of the major NYC decorations, but I did get our apartment all decorated. Thankfully I decorate early or it wouldn’t have been very holly jolly in here. I told myself I wasn’t going to go all out with everything, but I couldn’t help myself.
Our JOY stocking holders are finally complete 🙂 It was a big decision for me picking out Violet’s stocking!
The nursery is still a work in progress, but I added some cheer in there. I hope she’ll enjoy reading as much as I do.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year! I’ll be taking a little break from the blog but I’ll be back soon 🙂
Congrats! Merry Christmas!
Thank you! Merry Christmas 🎄

Aww….so sweet. Congrats! Yes, I definitely agree with “I’ve Been Traveling.” Often Mom is left out of the photo because she’s always taking them.
Congratulations! Happy New Year!
Awwww, love Violet! Congratulations! Better late than never ❤️❤️

I don’t know how I missed this post Lyssy. Apologies. Hope you, Jon and little Violet are all doing well. No doubt the little one is growing up so fast. Have a great Monday. Allan
