life lately...

Hi! I've been a bad blogger, I know. But here's a fun recap of what I've been up to the last couple of weeks...

 

My sister Celia got me this gorgeous cocktail ring for my bday.

Saw my lovely hubby play a solo Christmas show. 

He still continues to amaze me with his talent. 

 

Our dear friend Devin got us tickets to see Elf The Musical as a wedding gift.
It was so so cute and really put me in the holiday spirit. It also happened to be at the Detroit Opera House which is such a beautiful space. 

It was a great date night. 

 I had my girlfriends over for dinner and they graciously agreed to help me make a cake from scratch in celebration of Bob's birthday. I haven't baked a cake since home ec class in the 7th grade. It turned out super yummy. Thank god for Martha Stewart's easy to follow recipes! Thanks gals for your help!

 

I hosted a holiday bauble bash for the Pink Lady, aka, my Mom at the Rust Belt Market. We had wine, snacks and tried on so.much.jewelry.

Thanks, Man Repeller for coining the term we all knew but couldn't quite define.

Bob, Dad and our friends Jeff (Bass) and Stephen (drums) played a fantastic Christmas concert on Friday evening. It's such a treat to play with these very talented guys.The Christmas shows have been plentiful this year and we of course have been sneaking holiday songs into our regular sets. Although Bob has been home sick, I'm really excited to celebrate our first Christmas as a married couple together this year. I hope he can recover quickly so we can celebrate this season together. I have about a week off of work and I can't wait to get some good family time in. I also need to catch up on my shows (HOMELAND!). Be back in the next couple of days with a Christmas post!

Merry Christmas to you and your families.
