Hey, It's Christmas! - Vol. 3

Because if this hasn't been a part of your Christmas Playlist for the past few years... it's time. 

*merry christmas y'all

p.s. I'm particularly enjoying 12, 14, & 15 this year

Highlights

How can it possibly already be January and only two days before our break from law school is over? December sure went by in a flash for us Mayos. I love giving people the run down:

First, law exams (yuck). Second, a weekend trip to NYC for Jonathan’s Mom’s birthday. One day after that - Charlottesville, VA for a three day OLAS retreat. Five days after that - a 12 hour drive home to Athens, GA for Christmas. Next, straight down to Savannah for a second Christmas and New Years with the Mayo fam. Then, our 12 hour drive back to DC for a week of work and rest. Now, a brand new semester begins on Monday.

That, in a nutshell, was our entire December holiday craziness. Because it would be ENTIRELY too much to ever write about - here are a few photo highlights:

Yes, those are chickens and yes, you DO want to hear that story sometime.

Here’s to a new year appreciating what matters most. Happy New Year loves!

We told ourselves that regardless of how crazy it gets this week (ahem… impending law school finals… cough, cough), WE’RE GETTING A CHRISTMAS TREE. So yesterday, we did! There’s just nothing like walking to the outdoor market and carrying your Christmas tree home. Mark that one on the list of things we love about Capitol Hill. We’re not going to be home a ton over the Christmas holiday and we just couldn’t quite justify getting a regular sized tree this year, but we also couldn’t justify not getting one at all :)

Merry Christmas

Little Mary: George Bailey, I’ll love you ‘til the day I die.

Merry Christmas from Capitol Hill

Mom’s been in town. She’s been spoiling us. Jonathan’s been in hell. He just finished. Now it’s time for Christmas. Happiness.
