St. Patrick’s in Savannah

theprepinpink / / Comments

My favorite time of the year has to be Spring, because not only is it St’ Patrick’s Day but it’s our annual trip to Savannah! I have a lot of history here, as my mom grew up here and I went to college in this special city. I couldn’t wait to catch up with my cousins and see my sisters, and go out with my girls.

We rented a historic home downtown to fit all of our family and friends for the weekend. Once we settled in, we were off to stroll the streets. Walking down Broughton, our crew grabbed some to-gosas and made our first stop at Palm Avenue, the Lilly Pulitzer Store. I  worked here for years and had to stop by and see my bestie and shop the latest Spring looks. What a fun afternoon spree shopping with the ladies while the boys bar hopped.

Saturday was when the party really started. It was a beautiful day to watch the parade. Ive always loved watching the floats fly by and blowing kisses to the soldiers as they make their sweep down the street. the parade was over we were off to tailgate in the Savannah Square, to see and be seen. Once the sun went down we hit the town. We hit our favorite hot spots, sipped our favorite freezies, and danced the night away. I can’t think of a better time to kick off Spring than St. Patty’s in Savannah!

Angel Family Christmas

My favorite time of year is the one most full of cheer, and I couldn’t wait for Christmas to be here. I made the best of being in the Outer Banks one last time before I finally headed home for the holidays.

There’s nothing like Christmas to bring the family together. I was more than ready to hit the road home to Rock Hill, SC. We started Christmas Eve early with the Candlelight Service at church, and ended it with our annual drive through our neighborhood to look at lights.

Waking up the morning of is always more memorable than the last. The kitchen was covered in Christmas brunch and the living room was lined with gifts. We were more than ready to pour some mimosas and get into the presents.

I couldn’t wait to join my family around the tree and trade gifts. I must say santa sure got it right with these gifts. Although, its not just what’s under the tree that matters most, but who’s around it.

Once the sun went down, these little elves were ready to hit the town. What better way to celebrate than at an ugly Christmas sweater party? Follow along to see what these girls get into in the New Year…

Thankful for Family

The Angel family all started here, in Rock Hill South Carolina. Over the years, my sisters have moved and traveled up and down the coast. I am so thankful that over the holidays, no matter how busy we become, we always find our way back home.

These two girls are my heart and soul, Jana and Savannah. We may not see each other often, but when we do, the Angel girls are unstoppable. Being the second born, I am always caught in the ‘middle’ but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I am grateful for so much this year. This was the first time I could stay home through the holidays and I am so happy to spend it with everyone I love, from my parents to my puppies. Enjoying home-cooked meals and catching up with my grandmother are times I treasure. I can’t wait to come back for Christmas!
