Eva Mendes is "sooo ready" for the holiday season approaching.
With Thanksgiving weekend having come and gone, the Hitch actress has her eyes set on Christmas, and shared quite the relatable post about what the holiday really looks like at her home with Ryan Gosling.
She and the Barbie actor, with whom she has been since 2011, are based just outside of Los Angeles, and share two daughters, Esmeralda, ten, and Amada, eight.
Eva took to Instagram this week and shared a video in which she is walking down a hallway wearing a white and pink floral chiffon ruffled dress, and there is a falling snow filter over it.
"I'm sooo ready for it," she wrote in her caption alongside a Christmas tree emoji, before admitting: "Of course, I won't actually look like this on Christmas Day."
She went on: "I'll look like a sleepless elf with severe back pain drinking straight from the coffee pot. If you know, you know," though lastly noted: "But, I have the dress just in case."
Fans were then quick to take to the comments section under the post and gush over it, with one writing: "Loved that dress so pretty, looks like your getting in the Christmassy mood, you look fab as usual," as others followed suit with: "You are so beautiful in that amazing dress," and: "Oh you look lovely!" as well as: "Totally get it."

Last year, Eva also reflected on Christmas time, recalling what the holidays looked like for her as a kid and reflecting on one of the last Christmases she had with her late brother Juan Carlos Méndez Jr., who passed away in 2016 aged 53 after a battle with cancer.
After sharing a photo of herself at Christmas when she was a kid, she wrote: "Little me in the 80s at Christmas," and recalled: "We were paycheck to paycheck — at best — but my Mami always went all out for me on Xmas morning."

The mom-of-two, who also grew up with older sister Janet Mendes as well as a younger paternal half-brother, Carlo Méndez, further shared: "My older siblings were also part of the magic," adding: "Since they were way beyond their Santa years then, when I look back now, I realize how they all did their part in making it magical for me. I'm so grateful."

"I miss my brother," she then said, before recalling: "The last Christmas I had with him was a few years ago when he did something only a big brother could do."
Adding that she would "leave that sweet story for another post," she said: "Anyway, I saw this pic this morning and felt like sharing," and concluded with: "Lotsa love."
