a magical eve.

so i've decided there's no need for more sad quotes.

i mean, it's christmas!

maybe i'll resume in the new year

when i'm feeling reflective.

{thanks for hanging with me.}

in other news,

here's what's happening around these parts:

a lovely christmas brunch at the bro & sister-in-law's abode
(picture from this has been removed due to sibling dislike/disapproval;
instead, here are some pictures of our pup from a recent walk.
we pretty much geek out over how adorable she is
every 15 minutes. no one can object to this cuteness!)

{yes, she owns a holiday sweater. ridiculous.}

just watched family videos & cried over how cute 
the littlest sister, boo, was.

where does the time go?!

trying to stay awake now for midnight mass.

we are old.

merriest of christmases to you & yours!
