Friday Favorites {#235}

Hello and happy Friday!

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Just a few favorites this week as we didn’t have a ton going on which was obviously a favorite.

Saturday was a pretty dreary day, and with a Saturday with some extra time on my hands, I put up the Christmas decorations. I don’t dread putting them up, but I know that it takes some time. Well, this year, I was finished in about an hour. I still decorated pretty fully, but I just followed last year’s blog post and also edited what I didn’t want to use a long the way.

Then, I decided to knock a couple of gifts off my list. This started because I had Old Navy cash that expired the next day. Anyway, I braved Old Navy, and then I went to Kirklands for a few decorations. After that, I went to an outdoor shopping area and went to a couple of stores to get gifts for Hadley.

The area had their tree up, and it looked pretty on the dreary day.

I was gone a few hours, and came home to relax for a bit. Then, who are we?!? That afternoon, a group of us decided to go out to a new pizza place for dinner. Everyone was available on a Saturday night. The group is the same couples we go on fall break with, and it was so nice to get together for a couple of hours.

I’m not a big beer drinker, but if I do drink a beer it’s because we’re having pizza.

When we came home, it was lovely to see the glow of the Christmas lights.

On Sunday, I went to Trader Joe’s and spotted peonies, so of course I had to buy some. I don’t recall seeing peonies in the winter at Trader Joe’s. They are my favorite.

Sunday afternoon, Hadley got back home from her Young Life weekend. She had lots of fun with her friends…

…and even saw baby goats. She filled us in on her weekend, and I was so happy to have her home.

Random picture, but Hadley sent me this at school on Monday….haha.

I started yesterday morning off watching the parade before we headed to Louisville for Thanksgiving lunch.

Works every time…haha!

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:

This pic popped up in my Facebook memories. In preschool, the kids made little Indian costumes. I don’t remember how they got their “names,” but funny that Hadley’s starts with “princess” and Hayden’s starts with “running.”

Here are my posts from the last week:

My thirty day blogging streak will end tomorrow with one more gratitude post.

Have a great weekend.
