sandy toes

Merry Christmas y'all (I'm in the South, I'm allowed to say that now). I hope Santa brought you everything you wished for and more! My family didn't do a gift exchange this year as we are on vacation together instead, so let me live vicariously through you - what was your favorite present this year?

We've been doing more of the same down here - lounging, playing board games, tanning when the sun is out, going on bike rides and walking along the beach.

Why did no one tell me sooner how versatile a mustard cardigan is?! I have seriously worn it every day we've been here.

I made Chris ride the girly bike. The boy bike matched my outfit better....

We even did a little swimming and boogie boarding. The water was ....chilly.

Various locations around the world that are special to our family, and how far away/what direction they are.

Fireworks and monopoly rounded out our Christmas Eve. The weather the rest of the week is looking promising, so hopefully I will return to Wisconsin with just a little bit of color.



linking up with wiww and because shanna said so.

My fisherman sweater makes a lot more sense on the ocean.

From blizzard to bikinis. I'm on vacation with my family for the next week so posting will be a bit slow. I'll be snapping lots of pictures on instagram if you want to follow along :)
