So okay. I feel like a reindeer sweater is just one of those things that everyone needs to have in their wardrobe, you know? It’s just the perfect addition to a winter outfit. I love the oversized fit of this one, too, because it pairs perfectly with my leggings, which as we all know is a necessity for any winter sweater, really.

Speaking of winter, we decorated our tree and entire house, and it’s all feeling decidedly Christmasy in here (more pictures to follow!). I couldn’t be more pleased! Christmas decor is my favourite kind, and seeing that tree all decked out just makes me smile. Can we all agree that Christmas lights are just magical?!
We had our 20 week anatomy scan/ ultrasound on monday, and I’m happy to report that everything is great! Baby Reyes was moving around and the tech reported that everything looks perfect! Also, she agreed with me that it is the cutest baby ever. ;) We find out on Saturday if Baby is a boy or a girl and I couldn’t be more excited!! Eeeeek! So the rest of this week is going to be spent gathering last minute details for the Gender Reveal (cake, snacks, cute decorations) and I’m pretty much on cloud nine over here!
What’s your favourite winter sweater?
Have you decorated yet? Do you get a real or fake tree?
Have you thrown or attended a Gender Reveal party? Any tips? :)

Love those boots!! I need a cute sweater, which I plan on getting at the after Christmas sale, because I won’t buy anything anymore unless it is on sale hahaha. Yay!!!!! I’m so excited to find out the gender of your baby!!! I’m hoping it’s a girl, but either one will be super adorable :).
Katie
Girl, the sales right now have been killing it too!! It’s pretty dangerous, that’s for sure! ;) Aww yeah, only a few more days and we’ll know the gender, eeeeek!!! :D

Aww, I’m so glad to hear everything is going along well (and I’m still so impressed with your self-control ;)! That reindeer sweater is super cute and I absolutely LOVE your boots! Cute as always! :)
Katie
Haha thanks! You’re so sweet! And I’ve just been trying to not think about that little envelope sitting in the other room- it ain’t easy!

Helene
ohh i need this sweater! it says it’s one size- so do you think it’s pretty big? you’re tiny so not sure if it would work on me!
I love the Christmas decorations!! so pretty!
Katie
Girl. It’s very big!! It would DEFINITELY look super cute/oversized on you, too! I think you should probably get it so we can be twins.

Chelsea
I absolutely LOVE your outfit! I love all of your outfits, actually. You’re just amazing, Katie! :)
Katie
Aww Chelsea, way to make my entire day!!! :) <333

christmas light are SO, so magical :) i live in chunky, oversized sweaters in the winter. i don’t know if i have a favorite though. so glad everything is going well with baby. i can’t image in the excitement of finally finding out! we do a fake tree. i did a real tree once, and it was devastating. i’m not like a super hippie or anything, but for some reason i got really emotional over cutting down a tree. since then, it’s been fake trees for me haha.
Katie
Aww haha well I guess it helps that we don’t actually cut our own trees? Like, we just go to a lot and pick one out. Then it’s like, well, these poor trees are just sitting here waiting for a home!!! You know? It works. ;)

Carly
Love the sweater! Especially with the boots so cute! So glad your last ultra sound appointment went well & so excited for when you find out the gender! I’ve never attended a party but the ones I’ve seen photos of always look so cute!
Katie
I have been all over Pinterest looking up ideas for the party! I can’t wait for it! :)

Yayy, I’m so excited for you guys to have your gender reveal party! I’m also so excited to find out what you’re having. Is that weird? lol
Christmas decorations look awesome, our house is all decorated too and I insist on having the tree lit up for every waking moment that we’re home to enjoy it.
Katie
Noooo it’s not weird at all!!!! I’m CRAZY excited, so it’s nice to hear that others are too!! :D And I am the SAME WAY with the tree lights!! They go on the minute I wake up and stay on alllll day until we go to bed :)

Oh I so love that sweater!! And I couldn’t agree more, Christmas lights are absolutely magical. I like to turn off all of the other lights and just enjoy the glow of the Christmas lights every night. It’s wonderful!
Can’t wait to find out whether you’re having a boy or a girl! So exciting!!!

We just decorated our tree this week! I insist on real trees :) That smell of real trees is just so comforting. Anyway, whenever I walk into the room and see the tree, I just smile! Christmas lights definitely are magical and Christmas decorations are the best kind of decorations :)
Katie
Girl, I am right there with you- it MUST be a real tree! Nothing beats that yummy smell!! :)

Ah that Reindeer sweater is so cute! Every year I tell myself I’m going to buy a Christmas sweater, and never get around to it. We’re putting up all of our Christmas decorations this weekend and I’m so excited! Can’t wait to find out what your having, but I think its a girl, although I know either way your going to have the most fashionable baby ever! :)
Katie
Girlll you need a Christmas sweater!! They have some super cute ones at Target, too. #justsayin. Also, yes, this baby is going to be my little fashion model ;)

That is a super cute sweater and I LOVE those boots!
Cecilia
You look absolutely adorable and I love that sweater, especially on you! I feel like since it’s a one size fits all type of thing that I would look horrible in it.. since I have birthing hips and all, ha (;

Cute sweater! I’ve been meaning to go to YSJ Trading Co. to look for some cute Christmas sweaters. Have you been?
Yes, my apartment is all decorated and our tree is up! We have a small fake tree. Maybe one day we’ll start getting real, large trees, but for now, we like the cost-efficiency and easy clean-up.
And congrats again on your healthy baby BOY! :D
Katie
I’ve never heard of YSJ trading co! Is it like Crossroads/Buffalo Exchange? If so, I need to go!! LOVE those stores! YAY for being all decorated! It’s the best, isn’t it? And thanks, we’re really really excited!!!
