Chelsea & The City on Instagram

instagram-november November is always such a fun month! I love gearing up for the official start of the holiday season and Thanksgiving is one of my favorite celebrations. This past month we've been working hard to get into the Christmas spirit (our halls are decked, I've wrapped a few presents and Lo even met Santa) and settle into our new Alabama apartment.
