High Five for FRIDAY

Last weekend before Christmas and in other big news the world did not end today. womp.womp.womp.
Two news flashes, I'm sure you wanted to read again?!

I'm keeping with the High Five for Friday posts hosted by Lauren because I love them and can't resist being nosy and reading up on all of your High Fives! This week's is probably riding on the edge of obnoxious since it's entirely Christmas themed. Can't help it. It's taken over our life this week. Strange.

1// Oh, no the bad before the good photo's are still rolling in. Here's the most unexpected of Santa pictures and definite proof of our healthy holidays. After waiting way too long 3 hours at Bass Pro Shop we surrendered the idea of seeing Santa that day. Our only other option to see Santa was one weeknight after the gym, Lucas rushing to meet us from work. Now, Landon was not at all in agreement with being dropped off on some velour infused strange man's lap so we gained yet another funny, one of a kind Christmas photo.

2// spreading cheer via USPS! You know the "gift hunt" you enjoyed most and the box you wrapped so precisely? That's this in a box. My package of love. I send these year round to my niece and nephew and honestly, I don't know which "end" has more fun.

3// Dinner with the hubs at....the Masonic Lodge. It was a first for us. I'm not nearly educated enough on the Masonary Organization to yet form a genuine opinion but I can say the apple pie was good, so good that I had seconds. (opps!) I can also say that one song of the night resounded with me, I loved the lyric "Be still, I will fight this battle for you".

4// The debates still out on if these are  pumpkin cupcakes or pumpkin muffins either way, I'll be making more of them for all of next weeks gatherings....hmmm,mmmm,good!

5// WOD time! Thanks to my Elf4Health buddy Erin...I found out about Sophie.
She's an inspiration to thousands sharing daily WODS that pack results and once you get over the "I'm dieing" feeling...you feel incredible and ready for the next one.



Take a moment to reflect on the big and small things that make your week more beautiful.

    1. Seriously! We couldn't believe it either. I kept thinking there's got to be a way to have two Santa's and keep it secret from the kiddos! 3 hours is ridiculous...
