Merry Christmas from Ryan and me! This year we sent out Christmas cards to our close friends and family for the first time. It was so fun to make them and they turned out great! We used a template on Minted and I tweaked it a bunch to work for us. We were inspired to do a card like this by our friends Tiffani and Thomas who write at Tastebud Travels. We always loved receiving their Christmas cards because it really gives a glimpse into their year as a couple!
My family and I just got back from a vacation to Punta Cana last night. I have to admit, it didn’t really feel like the Christmas season when we were enjoying the island weather (not that I’m complaining!) but it feels like it more now that we’re home! I was excited to participate in another Blogger Secret Santa, hosted by my friend Abigail of Living the Gray Life! Check out her post from today to see the other bloggers that participated!
My secret Santa this year was the same one I had two years ago… Gabby! She did an amazing job with my gift… some peppermint chocolates and a cozy Nike sweatshirt that I can’t wait to wear to spin and my grad classes on Fridays!
Follow Gabby on her social media! She is in the process of rebranding and I cannot wait to see what she does next!
