Fresh Brewed Friday – My weekly “coffee date” with you all

Happenings: Sunday was birthday and it was an amazing day! I turned 25 and celebrated with family and friends in my new home. We ate delicious food, watched movies and talked for hours. I was so surprised to receive 25 gifts for turning 25 from them! How sweet! I’m so excited to see what this new year will bring.

Alexander is enjoying his role of protecting the new house. He loves to creep behind the blinds and watch everyone.

Only three weeks until Christmas and I’m loving it! My Christmas shopping is halfway done, all the presents are wrapped and my house is fully decorated! Almost every night this week I’ve watched a Christmas movie, including my favorite, Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Yukon Cornelius is the best!

Speaking of Christmas decorating, one of my favorite decorations right now just has to be my vintage cookie cutters. I hung them all together above my kitchen window to create a really interesting piece of garland. It looks fabulous and I love looking at it everyday.

New Favorite: All my home improvements! So many great things are happening here including a new rolling door and an awesome bathroom sink!! Can’t wait to share with you all!

Thankful: Another great birthday celebration has come and gone and I’m so thankful that I get to celebrate another year. I had a beautiful time surrounded by the people that love me and I feel lucky to have so many great people in my life.
