Hey friends! Today’s Henry’s last day of school before the holiday break and I just came back from his sweet class party where they did a book exchange and ate donuts and latkes. Also, I just finished up my last shoot of the year today (feels SO good!) and also did an instagram live where we shared some gifts we’re giving the kids. It was fun! I think I like the live video format so stay tuned for more of that. It’s crazy to think vacation is already here! I have a few posts I’m getting ready for next week and then we’re taking a long winter’s nap until after the New Year. We’re headed to a couple holiday parties this weekend and then up to Tahoe for a few days to ski, have snowball fights, and make Christmas cookies. Hope you’re up to something fun, here are links to explore:
