Christmas Album Giveaway Winner!

Happy Monday, y'all! As promised, I'm here today to announce the winner of Little Blue Sailboat's first-ever giveaway! In the spirit of the season, I'm giving away a copy of Dave Barnes' Christmas album, A December to Remember, one of my most favorite Christmas albums ever! 

And now, without further ado, the lucky winner is:

Dottie Millwater of Dottie Millwater Photography!

(winner chosen using a random number generator)

Dottie and I have been pals for the past 7-ish years. In fact, the first time I met her was when she invited Victor and I to her company Christmas party in 2008, a very fancy affair (Victor and I had only been dating for a little over a month!). The rest, as they say, is history! She's been a great friend and an awesome supporter of Little Blue Sailboat from day one. She takes all of our family photos, as well, and is a very talented photographer!

Here's Dottie, myself, and our sweet families last May

Dottie and I just spent most of last Saturday together. We went up to the vintage barn together to find a dresser for her house (I also scored a gorgeous mirror for our dining room!). Later that afternoon, we piled our families into our SUV and headed down to Old Town Alexandria, VA for the Holiday Boat Parade of Lights. We were so stoked for such a cool experience, but the 30-minute drive ended up taking an hour and a half, and by the time we got to the parking garage (where Dottie had pre-paid the parking fee), the lot was completely full. In fact, pretty much all of the traffic in Alexandria was due to the streets being backed up with cars waiting to find parking in the garage! We abandoned our hopes to see all the boats on the river and headed up the hill to find parking close to where we had dinner reservations. Even though we didn't get to see the boats, we still had a great time at dinner and walking around Old Town beneath the lighted trees. We took zero pictures, but we made great memories!

Thanks to all who entered!
