High five for Friday!

(visit my Instagram for full-sized pictures)

The closer it gets to Christmas, the faster the days seem to fly. Less than a week now! I'm thinking about giving ye ole' blog a break between now and the end of the year, but I don't know. We'll see how crazy these last few days get.

one | Can you spot the kitty cat? I knew I shouldn't have put up the Christmas tree this year. Dammit.

two | We had a cookie exchange last Saturday night and I made grasshopper cookies! It's a little bit more work than I intended when I found the recipe, but maybe I'll post it online for you. It's just devil's food cake for the cookie, green-dyed icing, melted chocolate chips, and crushed Andes mints on top!

three | We also had another Christmas party that same night so JerBear and I snapped a picture. Who doesn't do that? Der. Totes McGode.

four | I finally got around to changing up the pillow covers with our Winter bed color scheme. Tutorial coming soon!!

five | I got this adorable leather-topped blouse from Versona a few days ago and couldn't wait to wear it. I mean, seriously. What changes up my casual Old Navy and Target wardrobe other than faux leather?

Do any of you have any exciting weekend plans? Have any early family Christmas gatherings? I do. Annnd, not looking forward to them. Shh. Don't tell anyone I said that.
