As the winter weather creeps in, Dolores Catania and her boyfriend, Paul “Paulie” Connell, are ready to get cozy. In September, The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member revealed to BravoTV.com that while she doesn’t “officially live” at her beau’s house, she spends “a lot of time” there. “That’s an adjustment for both of us,” she shared at the time. “That wasn’t something I planned on.”

Now, Dolores is sharing a behind-the-scenes look at the couple’s Christmas decorating, posting a video of the action to her Instagram Stories on November 17. 

“It’s that time again,” the New Jersey native wrote over a clip of workers from Christmas Designers of NJ assembling the tree and attending to all the fine details. 

In addition to tagging her man, Dolores made sure to document the finished product: a sparkling silver tree adorned with royal blue and silver ornaments and numerous lights.

Paulie also took to his own Instagram to show off the holiday decor. “The magical time of the year is here, Tiz the season to be jolly, even if it does take a couple of [glasses] of Vino,” he joked, adding how “excited” he was for the design company to “finish the rest.” 

The shining star on top of the tree? Paulie’s adorable “paulores” hashtag at the end of his caption.
