Christmas Gifts for Him: Thomas Pink, Hermes & Raybans Ya'll

1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6

Christmas time is in full swing here in Houston, Texas even though it is going to be 60+ degrees (I don't hate that). Work is finally starting to slow down with everyone just about hitting their pre-holiday-need-a-break-burnout phase. The Notorious B-Rad-G and I are spending our first Christmas in Houston in our new house. No traveling for us. We will miss our families, but are so burned out on airports that a week of relaxing and -dare I say it- boredom sounds like a dream. We also got a PUPPY that will need lots of baby dog TLC (not to mention be let out every hour). That makes the Griffin house animals to humans count 2:1. 

We are pumped to wake up Christmas day and open presents, make a big breakfast and drink mimosas... I can't believe that is literally one week away. This year has flown by! Here's a sweet pic of our new girl, Patsy Cline (who needs to have kids when you can keep adopting animals? No, but really...):

Yes, those are my Merrells in the background. What? They are warm and comfortable.

Want one of these sweet puppies? We adopted ours via the LAB Rescue Network. A great non-profit based in Connecticut. 

Buying gifts for Brad is not too difficult and I know he is reading this so I will not go into what I got him exactly, but let's just say it is awesome and will totally surprise him. My family's love language is gifts so I have had to communicate with Brad my almost ridiculous expectations about what Christmas morn will bring. The list above is what  we  I asked my family to get for Brad. It is basically a compilation of things he needs and other things he needs. For example, this man cannot keep a pair of sunglasses around to save his life. Here's to hoping he makes it through January with this latest pair.

Quick shout out to my girl, Kate Doherty (KKG 2004), who is chasing the dream and going after her music career. Check out her EP with her band Stickers. Great voice. So ethereal.
