December Faves

And so another month, holiday season and year has ended. As much as I hate typing that sentence it’s nice to get a fresh start in January. But before I switch into complete 2016 mode it’s time to recap all of the great things about December…

Each December my sister and I take turns spreading a little extra holiday cheer with our own Elf on the Shelf-inspired character named Erma.

Our elf can be obnoxious {and sometimes makes a huge mess}, but she does leave nice gifts.

She makes the holiday season a little brighter and a lot funnier!

{You can see more of Erma’s past shenanigan’s here.}

Holiday parties top my list of favorite things during the month of December.

Especially, Ugly Christmas Sweater-themed parties 😉

I got to spend some time with two of the cutest babies around…

Words cannot describe how adorable these two are!!

We celebrated Christmas…

And New Year’s Eve…

{Around the World style like I shared in this post.}

But my fave thing about the month of December would have to be the addition of this sweetie pie to our family…

Meet Cleo {short for Cleopatra}, my new niece!

She is extremely cute, likes sticks, loves to cuddle, is a little ornery, and has stolen our hearts. It’s safe to say I’m completely obsessed with her.
