The tree is trimmed, the lights are strung and some presents are wrapped. Despite this über busy time of year, I can’t help but bask in the holiday spirit, especially with Quincy by my side. There’s so much curiosity in this little sponge of a two year old, I sometimes struggle with finding enough time to experience it all with him. At the same time, it’s comforting to know that even the most ordinary activities can resonate with him and absolutely light him up! So as part of Gap‘s Styld.By holiday campaign, Q and I took a little holiday outing, in our best California winter wares, to deliver treats and gifts to our friends and neighbors. He had an absolute blast and hasn’t stopped talking about it since. And really, that means everything.
