Good {Tie}-dings I Bring!

Love, love, love, LOVE this idea! What a great gift for your papa, hubby, boyf or bro! And of course, leave it to Martha to discovering it. She has this posted as a great Father's Day gift, but you could surely use it for Christmas as well! Use your handsome male's old neck- or bow- ties as a garnish {OR} use it as a great way to give a new one! I always like to see my man properly dressed. So hot.

Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree!

Last night George & I hosted his Wells Fargo company holiday party. Of course, in the 2 week time frame, he hired PREP to design and coordinate the project. It's been a super busy couple of weeks, but it turned out great! When I get our photos back I'll post them up, but here's a teeny tiny sneak peek:

And you thought you would get away without seeing Mr. & Mrs. Mekhail at their finest?

We hope everyone enjoys their very busy holiday season full of festivites!

Oh Tannenbaum!

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Moving on from one holiday to the next...it's my favorite time of year! It's also a Mekhail Family tradition to go to Snowflake Lane in downtown Bellevue the day after Thanksgiving. It's such a fun show and parade of Christmas characters and drummers for the kids to enjoy. AND since it's opening night, it's the only night Santa arrives on his sleigh! Kingston had the time of his life and thoroughly enjoyed his Snowflake Lane treat as he licked his Candy Cane lollipop so fervantly. Next on our list...Christmas tree!

Happy Thanks-For-Giving! {4}
