What's Hap-"Pinning" Wednesday {#22}

I'm back! It was 5 days that flew by super fast, but I'm back in VA and settled (for the most part). Can you believe that the last day of 2015 is tomorrow?? Insane!

Since I was gone at the start of the week, I figured I'd recap the highlights of our Christmas weekend for our last What's Hap-"Pinning" of 2015!

My Christmas Highlights consisted of:

~getting this sweet gift in the mail from my bloggy soulmate, and link up co-host, Jessi to start my day!

~an easy drive up to PA on Christmas Eve, and a quick turn-around to head to mass that afternoon

~This gorgeous sunset after church

~Christmas Eve dinner at MG's aunt and uncle's house where we got to see his cousins and all of the kids, while eating yummy foods!

~Puppy snuggles when we got back home

~Up early on Christmas morning to head over to my SIL's house with eager children waiting

~A ton of presents and a flurry of wrapping paper as they tore through their presents

~Exchanging gifts with MG--he did really well, finding me this Lucky Brand cardi I'd wanted, black riding boots, a swimsuit from VS for an upcoming tropical trip next year, and an adult coloring book which I'd asked for

~Relaxing during the afternoon (and some coloring) 

~Dinner at my SIL's with our extended family and my other SIL and her kids--the food was SO good! We had filet, crab cakes, asparagus, carrot soufflé, cheesy potatoes, green beans, etc. My BIL is an amazing cook!

~Exchanging gifts with the siblings and then getting this surprise gift from my in-laws for me, and my two SIL's (we each got a different MK purse)

~A low key Saturday, with coffee and puppy snuggles in the morning, outlets to make some exchanges, watching old home videos of MG as a kid, and then getting to meet my SIL's best friends at a local steakhouse, and then seeing Star Wars in IMAX 3D...it was really good!

~Early Sunday morning and then driving into Brooklyn to see MG's best friend and fiance in their amazing apartment that overlooks the Brooklyn bridge; got to walk around their neighborhood even tho the weather was kinda foggy

~Dinner out with our other friends who were in the city as well

~This view of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Empire State Building on our walk back from dinner, and some selfies

~Up til 2am drinking, talking, laughing, catching up and hanging out

~A beautiful view in the morning to wake up to (this is actually part of the view from their living room) and an easy drive back to PA

~a restful day with my in-laws, and dinner then driving back to VA yesterday

Phew! No wonder I've been exhausted since we got back, and sleeping every chance I get, much like Cooper who took an immediate nap as soon as we got home yesterday

I hope your holiday weekend was fantastic, and filled with wonderful family and friends!

Now it's your turn to link up with Jessi and I today--remember, you can share about anything, it doesn't have to be Pinterest-related!
