I cannot remember the last time we've had a green Christmas. It was really weird. Like I knew it was Christmas, but it didn't really feel like Christmas because there was no snow. So we spent the morning in our pajamas, opening gifts (I got a tripod for my camera! YES!), napping and relaxing. We didn't particularly want to stay home the entire day, so I, of course, suggested we visit the beach for the late afternoon. No one objected - which was a surprise.

We also spent our time away from home exploring downtown Holland + downtown Zeeland. Both have absolutely beautiful decorations for the holiday season. I've promised myself that at one point in my life I will live in Holland. It's full of young life and love and stories of the beautiful lives that the city holds. 

Christmas Eve At Grams

My family and I spent Christmas Eve with Grams + her boyfriend. Exactly like Thanksgiving. Except it was more low key than what Thanksgiving was. We ate off of blue plastic plates and jammed to Christmas music. It was full of laughs and love and joy - exactly what Christmas Eve should be. It was an absolute blast. Thanks again Grams for an awesome Christmas.

Thanksgiving Festivities.

I truly loved the holidays. There's nothing I don't like about them. There's something about gathering around the dinner table catching up and just talking about everything. I spent most of the night unplugged. Which made the time even more special. No one was on their phones, everyone was just very present and it was beautiful and crazy cool. Very holiday-like.

We spent this Thanksgiving at my Grams house. If there's one thing you need to know about her, it's that she sets absolutely beautiful tables. I'm always so excited to see what she has in store for us at the table.

She also has all of her Christmas decorations done. Six Christmas trees. Six. She's a crazy lady. But I love her house during the Christmas season, it's full of lights and love and feathers.

I also took out some time for a outfit post. (Which will be posted soon!)

 Grams had these small little signs that said "Give Thanks" on them that were stuffed in our napkins, which was super crafty and totally up my ally and made me love the whole thing even more.

We also learned a lot about my Grams' boyfriend. He grew up in the south and went to college at Michigan State and went on to become a super successful boxer. His stories are honestly the best thing.

 The whole gang.
