Emily's Red Christmas

Hope you all had a lovely holiday with family and friends.  I spent the week in Chicago which had an unbelievably warm December -- even though I was looking forward to the snowy Midwest!  It seems our Christmas this year was filled with jolly red...how fun!

Along with a good old-fashioned red Radio Flyer, our holiday officially began with Henry's newest friend, Dennis:

Kids' Stuffed Animals: Kids Plush Striped Bunny - Red Stripe Bunny - Kids Childrens Bedding Boutique

My favorite presents just happened to be red too:
Classic red TOMS


The Essential New York Times Cookbook: Classic Recipes for a New Century

The Color Study II Mini Locket - Vintage - Gold

My cousin got married on the 23rd and the wedding was filled with red dresses, ornaments and cranberry cocktails.  Out of the hundreds of baked goods, the most successful treat turned out to be the cherry almond breads, speckled with maraschinos.  I even got a bright red manicure using OPI's "I'm not really a waitress." 

Did your holiday turn out to be green...or gold, perhaps?  What were YOUR favorite gifts?
