Happy Friday everyone!
(Even though it doesn’t really feel like Friday to me…)
After a wonderful week in Michigan, we fly out this evening to head back to Oregon. Although I’m looking forward to being reunited with Lola (who is currently staying with Cam’s parents) and celebrating Christmas with his family this weekend, it’s always really sad to leave Michigan and my family. It’s tough because every time I’m home there are always so many people I’d love to spend time with, so many things I’d like to do, so many restaurants I want to eat at (sad but true…ha!) and it seems like there is never enough time to fit it all in. But we do the best we can with the time we have and try to enjoy each moment, and this trip was no exception. Next week, I’ll be sharing more about our visit along with some photos from our actual camera but for now here are a few of my favorite Instagram snaps from the past week…

| Thanks to everyone who commented on this photo of these two coats…almost everyone seemed to be in favor of the red one (I was too!) I ended up deciding not to get either one…mainly because I don’t really need them/wasn’t really in love with either one. Whomp whomp. |

| Beautiful snow falling on Christmas Eve after church |
 |
| My classic Christmas Eve movie, this end makes me choke up every year |
