Hi Friends! I can't believe this is the last Hello Monday of 2024! I would be lying, though, if I said I wanted to hold onto this year any longer-ha! Looking forward to a happy, healthy and prosperous 2025! How about YOU?
Sarah and I are so grateful for all of our readers and bloggers who joined this linkup this year! We are excited to continue Hello Monday in 2025! Be on the lookout for our new logo soon!
In the meantime, we are chatting about our weekends and hope you will join us.
I am going to recap our Christmas Week..so here we go...
Monday Night
Cass and Steve hosted us for our annual dinner and gift exchange- it was such a cozy night and so good for the soul and to brighten our spirits :)
Christmas Eve
I started my day by meeting Lea for a tea and our gift exchange. Then once the snow stopped, our little fam headed to the rail trail (even with Remi) for a nice walk
Then it was home to get ready and make the lobster risotto.
Next up was mass...for most of us anyway and then home for our Christmas Eve Dinner- seafood and Mimi's "Christmas Eve Pasta" and presents from Mimi and Papa of course!
Christmas Day
We start the day with Santa's presents then the fam presents- it is always pure chaos and fun
Then we enjoyed breakfast and relaxed a bit together. The resting doesn't last, however, as we get ready to head to my parents for Christmas Dinner.
The days following Christmas
We worked...took down all of the Christmas decor...headed to Suzy's lake house for an overnight and enjoyed lots of hockey games courtesy of Eva...we also snuck in some walks at the rail trail and consumed healthy teas of course
The boys wrapped up the weekend by enjoying their Christmas gift- dinner in the North End of Boston and then a Celtics game!
Back to work today...excited to get some things in place for 2025!

You've had so much fun and activity! And, you have had a bit of snow to add to the festive spirit! You look like a snow bunny on your walk - so pretty! Your hair looks amazing in the photo with Diana. I just ordered the L'Ange le duo grande. Hoping for success! ha!
Your lobster risotto looks so good! And looks like lots of family fun. I love all the Christmas chaos and then the quieter week after. I still have all my decorations up but will probably take them down later this week. I always look forward to getting somewhat organized for the. new year. Wishing you a bright and happy 2025!
What a fun filled week of family and friends that are like family! I enjoyed reading about how your family celebrates Christmas. Happy Monday, friend!
