Holiday Picture Post

Happy holidays to you all! It's been a busy week home and I finally have a chance to catch up on some blogging. Thought I'd share some of my Christmas photos and can't wait to see all of yours!


Outfit Details: Shirt-Walmart | Skirt-ModCloth | Shoes-Nine West

Brothers.










Me and dad. He loved the Christmas sweater I got him!

One of two times during the year that anyone eats in the dining room.

Not a holiday unless my mom has her giant pot out


Stuffed shrimp and potatoes

Beef tenderloin

Mushrooms and onions for the tenderloin

Ravioli from Arthur Avenue (Little Italy)

I spy burnt durkey onions. It's okay mom, all is forgiven. <3

My parents and my 92 year old fireball great aunt Teddy

92 years old and gets around faster than a lot of people I know.

Time for dessert

Expresso panne cotta


Homemade struffoli, and various homemade Christmas cookies. 

Pear Tarte

Grandma's famous chocolate cake

Besides a few glitches (like the burnt broccoli/cauliflower casserole and tipsy grandmas), Christmas in Connecticut was a success.
How did your holidays go? Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, another holiday, or no holiday at all, I hope your days have been the best they could be.

  5. Sounds like a successful Christmas! You look so much like your mom :). I love how cozy your home looks. The dining room table was so beautifully set up, not to mention all the delicious looking food and dessert! Your dad's sweater is hilarious, and your outfit was perfect for the occasion! I hope you had a wonderful start to the new year <3.
