5 on Friday!


Grab button for FIVE ON FRIDAY AT THE GOOD LIFE BLOG

Cheers to the lovely lady creators of this 5 on Friday link-up (hiii Darci, April, Christina, and Natasha!)!!


SLUMBER PARTIES
Last year Mark and I spent many a night on the sofa bed beside the tree. Kind of because we wanted to but also kind of because we watched 2 seasons of Downton Abbey in a 4 day span. Regardless...we've kept the slumber party by the tree tradition alive this year!!!


Trying to capture and soak in priceless little moments like these.
Thursday marked night 4 in a row by the tree...
Never knew we'd be the ones using the sofa bed so much! :)

FAMILY PICS
My Uncle Jesse (Yep. I have an Uncle Jesse like in Full House. It's awesome.) takes amazing pictures. He shared the ones that he took over Thanksgiving with our family this week! I adore them!!!


My [hot] hubby + the 3 Davis kiddos
(SO WEIRD THAT MY BROTHER IS TALLER THAN ME IN THIS!!!!!!!!!!)

My sweet Mimimama on her 78th Birthday with all of her grandbabies!
...Including the picture on a stick who is in Spain! :)


THIS GOODNESS.
I bought this a couple years back, and I keep bringing it out every Christmas season. It is the best smelling lotion in the whole wide world. Hands down. And (truth) I often sniff my hands repeatedly after putting it on.


  You can buy the soap + lotion set here. OBSESSED.

MOUNT AIRY ART WALK
You may remember reading here that Mt. Airy is my adopted hometown. I couldn't love Mayberry more!!! Lizzie, my bff and an amazing artist, convinced me that I should sell the Cheers Y'all canvases at the event. I definitely don't feel worthy, but I will never pass up a chance to spend a weekend in one of my favorite places with some of my favorite people!!

 A little Art Walk preview that Lizzie created!!
(P.S. You should check out her work on her website!!!! Do I have the coolest friends ever or WHAT?!)

#CCFAawarenessweek
For my sister, Hope. If you didn't check out my post earlier this week, you should! Hope snuck a few words in there too!!



Keep in touch, dolls!!

  27. Your tree looks so pretty and great slumber party idea! This temporary duty assignment over the holidays is a killer of christmas traditions... we haven't brought anything with us {only what we could fit in the car and the christmas stuff got the ax}. I am just living traditions vicariously through everyone else's blog post so please keep them coming! :)
