All Wrapped Up

Gift Wrapping Under the Big Christmas Tree is such an 

important detail of the Christmas Decor. Every year I do my best

to Wrap all the Presents with a Consistent Color Theme or Pattern

to give the Tree a Welcoming Warm Christmas Cheer Feel!

Here are a few of my Favorites that inspire me from Pinterest!

My Favorite Details are Monogramming with Letters on Gifts!

Using Craft Paper with Fab Ribbon! And of course Black and White Paper with 

a Bright Green or Red Bow! This year...I got crazy...not really...but

I found some great Wrapping Paper at Homegoods! I have a Black and Gold Theme...

of course with a splash of Leopard. Isn't Leopard a neutral. So.....I am really a terrible

wrapper honestly...but if you buy pretty supplies, you usually can't go wrong!

And the Presentation with Gifts is a very important detail.

And if you are like my Sweet Beckham the wrapping paper is the best part!!

My Sweet Hubs says this is his favorite Combo of Wrapping Paper under our Tree!

He is a man after my own heart! He loves all the Pretty Details too!

The bad news is....I still have a lot of Wrapping to do!

Not as easy as it was last year....My 11 Month Old...ya...she keeps me busy!!!

Time to Wrap it Up!

Enjoy your Holiday Wrapping!!!

3 Days till Christmas!!!

Happy Hour

Happy Friday Friends!

Thankful for Friday!

Last day of School for our Christmas Break!

So happy....so exciting!

I have some very excited little boys...

Ready for some Christmas Cheer!

I have you know that I take Happy Hour very seriously!

You gotta love the candid picture of these empty wine bottles!

And even better... love the line up!

These are some fantastic wines that well..we tried with 

some great friends to expand our horizons!

And of course try new wines! And love them!

These are all some must try wines...

but today...I am telling you about a delicious wine called 

Earthquake from the Michael and David Winery.

This Winery Produces some of my all time favorites!

We drank the Earthquake Petite Syrah.

I love how the name of the Wine fits the Wine!

This Wine is Over the Top and Earth Shattering!

This Wine is Major Concentration and with Full Body Tannins!

A glass of Earthquake Petite Syrah gives you a beautiful nose of Violet 

with some Rich Summer Blackberries

Just go for it! Earthquake Petite Syrah can be found at most Wine Shops for around $26 a Bottle.

Tested and Approved!

You deserve an Over the Top Wine for your Special Happy Hour!

Jump in and Enjoy!

Cheers!!

Happy Hour

Happy Friday Friends!

December is cruising by like super fast!

When I was kid it crawled... just counting down to Christmas Morning!

As a parent you are rocking with a list a mile long...needing every hour you can get!

But don't worry...Santa will do it all!

This time of the year is full of celebrations and parties!

Celebrations mean Sparkling!!

I'm sharing with you one the best Sparkling's!

It's Jacob's Creek Chardonnay Pinot Noir Brut Cuvee.

I am a bit biased to this Sparkling...I traveled across the World to 

Australia and was introduced to this Sparkling by the Winemaker himself!

I had an amazing White Table Cloth Dinner right on the Vineyard underneath the Stars of

Barossa Valley. The Weather was Sunny and Hot during the day and Cool and Crisp in the evening.....perfect weather conditions for the Jacob's Creek Winery!

It was an experience of a lifetime! Just an amazing opportunity!

I fell in love with this crisp and delicious Sparkling Wine!

As well as other Wines from the Winery.

But this Sparkling is just a great everyday toasting wine! Great for 

a Holiday Party...great when you need to buy more than one bottle! 

Jacob's Creek Chardonnay Pinot Noir Brut Cuvee is refreshing with Lemon Citrus Fruit 

in harmony with those Creamy Nutty Flavors that give it that smooth finish.

Serve it Chilled and Drink it on it's own or pair it with some soft cheeses.

Sparkling Wine is just like a Champagne Taste Profile....but it can only be considered 

an actual Champagne if it's from Champagne, France.

This Sparkling is a great Value under $10 and can be found at most Wine Stores and Grocery Stores. 

Happy Weekend All! Enjoy your Happy Hour!

Cheers to some fun Holiday Celebrations!!!

The Nutcrackers

One of the most important details of Christmas for my family

is the Christmas Traditions! The Traditions can be big or small.

It just has a lot of meaning. And of course as the

years have gone by the Traditions have grown with a lot more personality!

Let me introduce you to a Pepin Christmas Tradition!

The Nutcrackers!

My Sweet Hubs and I bought one of our 1st Nutcrackers when 

are oldest son Brooks had his 1st Christmas over 8 years ago!

Not just any Nutcracker....a Nutcracker nearly 4 feet tall!

A few years later....he was named....The Nut!

Several years later....Nut has many Friends!

When we travel...sometimes a Nutcracker comes home with us...

and if we go to a Charity Auction....we hope for Special Nutcrackers!

All sizes with all different Personalities!

Most of them are named!

And if they are lucky they even play with the boys!

We greet them every December...and say our goodbyes every January!

Some are more special than others...some are even more expensive

than others...but the Nutcrackers add that Special Detail for our

Christmas Traditions every year!

We may decorate our home with more Pizzazz one year to another...

but one thing is always consistent...The Nutcrackers!

Gunner! Yes my Boys named them all!

We have 3 Large Nutcrackers! That I am pretty 

sure the boys consider their Special Christmas Friends 

every year! They always use their social graces ...and introduce

the Nutcrackers to their friends! And always include these special Nutcrackers

in their very own Battles!

The Collection and the Tradition grows and is very alive

every year! We have a Special Mardi Gras Nutcracker...and even

our Sweet Pink Girl Nutcracker for Baby Beckham!

Our Elf on the Shelf "Jack" has worked on some beautiful Nutcrackers 

in Santa's Workshop every year...and brings one better than the other for the last few years!

The Nutcrackers play sports!

We have a Golfer, a Football Player, and one of the newest additions...

Our Skier from Vail!!!

The Collection is personal and special and that's what makes 

it one of our favorite Christmas Traditions! They all have a story!

And one day...they will all leave and go with my Sweet 3 Bee's to their homes...

and give them a piece of their childhood Christmas Traditions!

My eyes are always open and looking for that next 

special Nutcracker to add to our Christmas Tradition!

This is one of the most beautiful Christmas Details in our home!

Just love The Nutcrackers and the Special Memories 

they bring to us every year!

Enjoy your Christmas Traditions!

The Countdown to Christmas is On!!!

15 Days!!!
