It's Friday! It's Friday! Thank goodness...it's been a long week. Today I'm linking up with Andrea at Momfessionals to share my Friday Favorites!
1. I cannot believe I forgot to blog about this last month, but we celebrated Nola's 1st birthday! Because she was a shelter puppy, I will never know her actual birthday - the vet could only make an educated guess. So, November 3rd it is! =) We will also celebrate her adoption day in February. We have a cute little pet shop downtown so I got her a cupcake & cookie. She accidentally got too close to the candle {bad dog mama moment} so once that happened, she wanted nothing to do with it anymore. I finally had to bribe her with ice cream to get one picture in her party hat {homemade vanilla ice cream is her absolute favorite thing in the whole wide world}.
2. Tuesday night was the Blue Bell Christmas Party! We did a scaled back version this year, but it was nice to spend the evening with good friends, good food & good fellowship. It's been a rough year, but things are looking up...so it was nice to have something to celebrate. These folks right here are definitely some of my favorites!!
3. My 2 new purchases this week! I have a "memory tree" that I put up every year at Christmas. It contains Christmas ornaments from all my travels or special events in my life & this year I added an Old World yellow lab in honor of Nola! I'm also loving my new sign I found at Hobby Lobby on clearance for $14.99! It goes perfect above my kitchen sink window.
4. Our new neighborhood walking trails! When they started the neighborhood, the original plans showed walking trails throughout the neighborhood. I've been there a year now & up until this week, there was no sign of them. I came home yesterday & they had started them. Nola & I are super excited. Nola's absolute favorite thing in the world to do is go walking. You say the word "walk" & she's at the door waiting. The street in front of the neighborhood is pretty busy so it can be dangerous now that it gets dark at 5:30. I can't wait for the trails to be finished!
5. This view. Every single night before bed. I am already dreading having to take all my Christmas decor down in a few weeks. It makes the house so "happy". =) I also saw this Christmas scavenger hunt...can't wait to grab a few friends, hot chocolate & drive around town one night and find all these!
Have a great weekend! I am hosting my first cookie exchange at my house on Sunday evening for all the neighborhood ladies...can't wait!!
