Happy Friday all! The girls started their Christmas break today, so I am working from home and enjoying some time with them. We have some Christmas light looking planned for this weekend and a little Christmas party on Sunday. Other than that, we are going to soak in the upcoming holiday by baking cookies, snuggling by the fire and watching Christmas movies.

Onto, Friday favorites and happenings.

ONE. I posted about this last week on my Instagram stories, but I thought I would share it again here. I bought the girls some things from Abercrombie and Fitch and decided to throw in a long sleeve tee for myself since it was on major sale. 

Well I got it, wore it and loved it. So much so, that I checked to see if they were still on sale and they were. And this time I got it in three more colors. You can beat the price reduction from $39 to $19.89. Now I know I am not supposed to get myself anything in December, but I love these tees so I grabbed them. Basically a Christmas gift to myself. 

These shirts are so soft, cover your butt (so can be worn with leggings), have size slits and actually button/snap. I now have it in brown, white, dark gray and olive green. 

Ignore my selfie taking skills.

TWO. Last weekend we did our first night out for Christmas light looking. We are going again tonight or tomorrow with some friends. Our first area was Hidden Valley. We go here every year. They have a community contest, so I save the addresses each year and update them.

Here is a glimpse at the displays. Also, two of these are closer to my house, but we stopped by them on the way home.

THREE. Saturday night was Rory's company Christmas party. It was at a steakhouse and it was so good. It just started late (8:30 pm). And Rory wasn't really feeling well. But we stayed out until 11 pm and had the best time.

And as promised, here is my outfit.

The skirt was amazing, but it rode up a little too much when I was sitting down. I didn't notice it until I saw this picture. But the whole outfit was a hit and so comfy. Also, that purse is an early Christmas gift from my girls and soooo pretty in person. You can buy it here.

FOUR. Last week we went to our friends house for their annual gingerbread house decorating party. It was a Thursday night, and the girls had a blast. And us moms got to hang out, catch up and get some advice on an upcoming trip.

And the boys hung out in the garage bourbon tasting.

FIVE. Weekly funnies.

Have a great weekend. I am linking up with A Little Bit of Everything.
