Happy Monday! Of Christmas week! Eeee, I can’t believe it! I also cannot wait for Christmas Eve day. I still have work this week and a few last minute errands to do so I am so looking forward to waking up Christmas Eve morning and finally being able to relax and look forward to the next few days of celebrating. My favorite part of Christmas might be the Christmas Eve service at our church. It just reminds me what this season is really all about, and at the end of it, we sing Silent Night, and the only lights on are all of our hundreds of candles. It’s magical. I also can’t wait for some QT with the hubby. He started a new schedule for his EMT job and works 24-hour shifts. It’s been a little rough getting used to. I sleep fine with him gone, and he’s actually off more days but it’s a little harder than I thought it would be because not only is he gone the 24 hours, but the next day he needs to sleep and is tired so it’s hard to plan things. I know I’ll get used to it, but just is taking time, and I’ve been a little sad because I miss my hubby!

I shot these photos a few weeks ago with Gemma in the cutest little alley way in Downtown Fullerton. The scenery was the perfect compliment to this dress. Ahhh this dress. Isn’t it amazing?! I love a good maxi dress that just speaks for itself, and you don’t need anything else. I snagged this dress for $7 at the Shop Ruche warehouse sale! Seriously could not believe it. It’s honestly probably usually around $100 (insert hands on face in surprise and bewilderment emoji). I added this lacey bralette that I literally wear almost every day to add interest and so the back wasn’t as open! I tried to find a dress similar but didn’t have too much luck so I just linked one I liked!

Hope you all have the best Christmas week. If you missed my hair tutorial post and are in need of a cute style for your Christmas festivities, check out my previous post!
