I'm hoping to go big with Christmas this year, but just when I've decided to give in to the madness it seems oddly hard to come by.

I feel the same way. If I were single with no friends and no pets, I could live in a tiny house. I mean, they are so cute! Otherwise, no way! Love Fixer Upper too! And love the picture of you and the girls. A gingerbread house making party sounds awesome!

But it is pretty funny that the barista gave Ricky his drink even though it wasn't part of the deal. I wish there was Christmas music on the radio where I live right now, but no go. I guess I could do a Pandora station!Sparkles and Latteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963473872202413760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-45114778639567295922016-11-14T17:45:37.192-05:002016-11-14T17:45:37.192-05:00Christmas party idea...have you ever heard of My F...Christmas party idea...have you ever heard of My Favorite Things? Each person brings 3 of the same of their favorite things at a certain price point (for example, if I love Volcano Lava nail polish, I bring 3 bottles of it). They can be wrapped or unwrapped it doesn't matter. Then you print out each persons name 3 times, cut them out, fold them up and put them in a bowl. Then you pass around their names. So, if I pick out your name, then I would give you one of my "favorite things"...make sense? Every one leaves with a favorite thing of their friends. Best thing is, if you really like something and you don't get it, the cost is usually low enough where you could go out and get it for yourself! Sounds a little confusing, so let me know if I can clarify anything, but I think this would be so fun for you and your girls! I can also give you some ideas if you want...let me know!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12337898387903659581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-82714957157201130662016-11-14T16:35:03.863-05:002016-11-14T16:35:03.863-05:00I have been listening to Christmas music since Nov...I have been listening to Christmas music since November 1st!

But we have a GF friend... and I figure that's not going to be very fun for her. I love hotschnaapslate.. .which is basically peppermint schnapps in hot chocolate... we cozy up with a movie like Love Actually. We don't have enough room for a big movie night though. : / I'm working on this dilemma myself. Especially since our friends also decided to have one (the first year anyone else as well...) and it's not on a week when we could do one two weeks away. And they are including all kinds of activities and a lot of the same people. It's kinda... tough for me. HA I really love entertaining.. so I am trying to figure out what to do that's different.. and also not feel like people will choose one party or the other. : / LOL - this should not be a big deal.. and probably isn't... :P Glad you had a good weekend, sorry they didn't have the red cups yet. : / XO - Alexandra<br /><br /><a href="http://simplyalexandramyfavoritethings.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Simply Alexandra: My Favorite Things</a>Simply Alexandra // My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005714012822874818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-80418019640025679452016-11-14T14:29:14.052-05:002016-11-14T14:29:14.052-05:00You all could make different kinds of cookies!

Plus, it has been crazy hot in LA, like 90+ temps so it doesn't feel like Thanksgiving. I love all the work you do with your Church. It's awesome that you have such a great group of 7th grade girls to lead. I remember that age - it was so tough and I'm so glad they have each other and you.

Enchiladas are my favorite order at Mexican but never had potato ones. Sounds fun! Hope you have a great week!

The Starbucks deal made me sad, I was going to go, but I work 'til 5. So, that would mean taking the latest lunch break ever. But then I would have no one to share the special with, lest I heated up another drink later. So I just took it as a sign I wasn't meant to go.<br /><br />My HS friends and I try to get together and do a cookie exchange each year. Bring 2-ish dozen (though you could scale this) or your favorite holiday cookies // candies. Then we all just sit and eat and chat. Usually the host makes a big crockpot full of hot chocolate and we top it with fun stuff like whipped cream, marshmallows, candy canes, etc. (And booze, but leave that our for the middle schoolers ;) )Jessie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11217522564709638588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-29884331610496690882016-11-14T11:54:14.901-05:002016-11-14T11:54:14.901-05:00What?!
