Friday...you are finally here....I have been waiting for you all week because today is game day for my Colorado Buffs....which leads me to my first favorite.......

College Football is my favorite!! 

Tonight, my Buffs are playing Washington for the Pac 12 Championships.

The game is here in the Bay Area at the 49ers Levi's Stadium, so Kevin and I are going to the game.

This is the 3rd Colorado game I have been to THIS year!!!! 

We flew out to Colorado to see them play Arizona State and then I also went to the game when they were out here playing Stanford.
 This has been such an incredible season for Colorado...our coach has had a slogan all year saying this is the year of CU's Rise. The Rise is Real!

Our coach was named Pac 12 Coach of the year & National Coach of the Year!

He is such a great guy. Awesome coach, strong Christian & such a great leader for our team.

Have you heard of the Lost My Name books?

 They were having a Cyber Monday sale, so I also got Luke this book:
It's an outer space adventure staring your child & their house and they use an actual satellite image of your child's house. You can preview all the books with your customization. Luke is going to love them!
 They have bigger discounts if you order more than 1, so I decided to also get Luke both :)

 They are having some discounts this week for Cyber Week & free shipping with arrival before Christmas. You can order the books HERE

I can't wait for Luke to open both of his on Christmas!

My house at Christmas is my favorite....I love how cozy it feels.
 I also love watching Hallmark Christmas by the glow of Christmas lights.
Hallmark Christmas movies are my favorite.
Here is some of my DVR:

 So many Hallmark Christmas movies...I've been recording them since before Thanksgiving...but you know me, I didn't watch them until after Thanksgiving. I have over 15 Hallmark Christmas movies on there right now. Sorry Kevin. I've taken over the DVR. Hahaha!

Anyone else addicted to cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies? They are the best!
My favorite one that I have seen this year is called Christmas List. So cheesy! So cute!

Last year,  got Luke some Magnformers for his birthday.
He got THIS set:



He LOVES them! In fact, all 3 of my kids play with Luke's magformers!
They have so many different sets!
These are cute:

Love THIS set:


These are a great Christmas gift for kids.....Luke will sit and play with them for 20-30 minutes straight!

Stitch Fix is my favorite!
My December fix is scheduled to arrive today. I requested Holiday dresses for this fix. We have our a few Christmas parties this year, so I thought it would be fun to wear a new dress for at least one of them. I can't WAIT to see what arrives!
If you haven't done Stitch Fix before, I recommend it. I've been doing it since May 2014...every month it's like Christmas when your box arrives. You don't have to get one every month, you can do every other month, every 3 months, etc.
Did you know you can also give the gift of a Stitch Fix gift card?
Or, you can ASK for a Stitch Fix gift card.
