Hello! Happy Friday! It’s *officially* Christmas season and I could not be happier. Thanksgiving at my house was low key and relaxing. We actually slept in (if you consider sleeping until 6:30 AM sleeping in HA!) and just had a really wonderful day. Mom was the ROCKSTAR of Thanksgiving by preparing so much ahead of time so the prep today was super easy and so was the cleanup. She is the rockstar always, if I am being honest. I am so thankful for having such amazing parents. They truly go above and beyond with everything they do. 😍
We took our Christmas card photo last week and I am eagerly awaiting the email from the photographer with our photos. I love this tradition and I cannot wait to show all of you later in December.
For Friday Favorites today, I am sharing a hodgepodge of favorite things that I have been loving:
1. Tiniest Owl Stowaway///um… this is the cutest stowaway I have ever seen. Poor thing must have been so scared and confused. I am glad he is doing better and he was released the other day. I hope he finds his family!
2. Clinique Moisture Surge Lip Hydropump ///I got this as a sample and in the beginning I was a bit skeptical thinking this was going to be a sticky lip treatment but to my surprise, it wasn’t. ( I am not a fan of sticky lip gloss/stick/treatments) I use this at night, when I am working on homework or posts, and it gives my lips the extra hydration that they need. Totally recommend and don’t be scared by the small size- it packs a lot in a little package.
3.Pilsbury Crescent Rounds/// Run don’t walk to the near foodstore and get these and get extra. The rounds are so light and fluffy and buttery and delicious. I might or might not have eaten one whole package on my own ( you will too when you taste them.)
5.Firehouse pup /// The newest member of the Seville-Guilford Fire Department is Marshall who loves to keep his friends in shape. He is one tough trainer but adorable.
6. George Clooney’s gift/// Could you imagine having a friend like George and getting this gift?! I think its really neat that he gave this gift to his friends.
Its a bit sad to see this month end but I am excited to see what December holds for me. This weekend we are decorating the outside and I am hoping to do some work on here and finish up my homework. Do you have any exciting plans for this weekend?
I am linking up with Andrea and Erika today for Friday Favorites.

It's officially Christmas season at our house too now, and I love it. Would definitely also love to get a gift like George gave! 🙂 Have a great weekend!
