So if you could read my thoughts about a month ago, you probably would have seen that the things I wanted the most for Christmas was an engagement ring, anything for the kitchen and clothes for Monty.

Yep. Clothes for Monty was pretty much number one on the list because that’s just kind of like the cool girl that I am. And sure enough… He got a sweet sweater today from Grandma Judy which he’s so stylishly modeling in the picture above.

Equally, I got so many new toys for my kitchen from Santa I don’t even know where to start with everything or where to put it but I CAN’T WAIT to use it!!

And while I didn’t get an engagement ring, I know it will be coming eventually and my boyfriend gave me a beautiful Irish Silver claddagh with my aquamarine birthstone set into it.

I’m super lucky and so thankful to be able to enjoy the holidays bountifully.

Next year, its my hope to spread some of the Christmas cheer by donating money or toys for those less fortunate. Every child deserves to have gifts to open on Christmas morning and every family deserves to be able to provide that. I can only hope I’m in a place where I can offer to help in any way I can.
