It's 5pm Somewhere ...

Holy moly is tomorrow December 1st already? Normally I would be kicking my shopping into high gear right about now, but guess what party people? I'm almost completely done with my shopping this year! I held true to my declaration of starting to shop right after Halloween and somehow it worked. And let me tell you it feels great. What about you? Almost done? Just getting started?

Last night my friend Shawna and I went to the cutest holiday social at Urbanic in Venice. It was such a great way to kick off the holiday season. The shop was completely adorable as always and we had such a great time. 

Holiday Kick-Off ...

Last night a couple of friends and I ventured up to Venice for the Cocoa and Cupcakes holiday event at Urbanic. It was such a great way to kick off the holiday season. Everything was so festive and cozy we kept saying how we just wanted to live there. And of course all of the paper goods were so fun and inspiring. I think I lapped the store 10 times and discovered something new each time. Lots of holiday goodness in every nook and cranny.

Outside they were serving the most delicious hot cocoa and marshmallows along with amazing cupcakes from Frosted Cupcakery–yes, I had more than one. And in the backyard area tables were set up for holiday arts and crafts. People were really getting busy crafting. Even the dudes!

I know it's only day two of the official Christmas season but have your holiday festivities already begun? I feel like there were quite a few store holiday events last night. The kids and I are excited to get our Christmas tree tonight! And they are beyond excited that they actually get to eat a piece of chocolate every single day until Christmas from their advent calendars. It's the cutest. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Group hug:)
