Fun With My Son

We took one of Gavin's best friends to see the boat parade down in Newport. It was a little chilly, so the hot chocolate they served on the boat was PERFECT.

Christmas Around the House.

This year’s theme for my dining room was a little old world. I had plenty of glitz and lights in the family room so I decided to keep the dining room a bit simple.





















Below is a quick shot of my dish pattern before I added the rest of the setting. I wished I’d taken the table after it was completed. I thought I had but shoot… it’s not here. We also lit advent candles and the four middle cousins each read a verse, very sweet.










A little snowfall outside… hee hee… I think it was 74’ on Christmas.







On to the family room

Angry bird’s bad piggy for my kiddo. BBQ for my man. 


 These three are from dear friends.



Mantel.






Here’s hoping that you’ve had a wonderful holiday season and are as excited for a new year as I am.

Christmas.... Vargas style!

We always try to include some fun little theme to make the gift exchange more memorable.  This year, the crazy Santa hat and mustache photo booth were king although we all know who the real King of Christmas is.... Can I get an AMEN?



















What up....butter cup?














Yes, everyone wore the hat....
Some better than others. :-D

































And to all..... A good night!
