Happy, happy Friday!
Since this is the last weekend before Christmas Eve, my calendar is packed—and I assume yours is, too! Tonight, I’m hitting up spin class and then one of the gals I met at class is having a little holiday happy hour for our spin friends at her house. It’ll be nice to get to know everyone “off the bike” a little bit more.
Then, on Saturday, one of my BFFs is having her annual holiday open house, which always turns out to be one of my favorite events of the season. She has the best food (+ wine, of course!) and Christmas music playing, and I always leave in such a festive mood. On Sunday, my college besties and I are heading to the Newseum to check out the Creating Camelot exhibit. We’ve really been making an effort to take in all the culture DC has to offer this year, and I’m excited this is how we’re closing out the year—I am a big fan of the Kennedys!
Whatever you’re up to this weekend, I hope you have a fun and festive time! x
