Friday's Joys

Friends, it has definitely been quite the week.

Kevin drove all the way back to Arizona on Tuesday, only to find out because we switched

cars, he was locked out. Poor guy.

Then Wednesday night, there was a terrible wind storm across Davis County, Utah. We were without power in the cold all day yesterday. Luckily, my parents have two cozy fireplaces and we hung out in the living room all morning and afternoon by the warm fire. It was actually nice to have the TV off and a little funny that my two-year-old niece Aiden, couldn't figure out why the remote wouldn't work. She kept screaming, "ELMO!" But then found out how fun it was to just play with her toys.

We were blessed that everyone was safe even though so many friends lost trees, swings sets and fences.
Luckily, those can all be replaced.

Finals are now in full swing and I'm slightly panicked.

I'm grateful that it's my last semester and that they'll be over in less than a week.

Now for the best part:

There are so many great things going on around the web.

It's just that time of year and I keep singing the Christmas Waltz.

The world is definitely falling in love (see photo above) and every song you hear seems to say,

"Merry Christmas!!!"

Let's start out with these cute mother/daughter outfit from Kayce Hughes.

My blogging friend Elizabeth has started a new shop called Iviebaby.

This Puppy Dog Plushie is to die for. 

I love the idea of displaying your holiday cards and Kirsty is the best.

Some amazing photographs of Cuba. 

This Equestrian outfit is dreamy.

Sweet Christmas Card templates. Did I mention that they're free?

Don't forget that Festival of Trees is going on this weekend!

My tree is at aisle E in the front. 

Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Seeing it makes me want to do a Holiday Photo shoot! 
Maybe my family will do one with me this weekend.
