Friday Favorites {12.9.11}

It's that time again! I'm actually pretty stoked because Santa's coming to our house this weekend! We leave for Dallas next Saturday morning, so the last day we can celebrate (with our little fam) before heading home is Sunday. Kinda early, I know, but our kids are still young enough that they won't really question why Santa's coming to our house before anyone else's. At least I'm hoping this doesn't happen. I'll have to get back to you next week, once Nico goes to school and tells all his little friends, lol.

Anyway, it should be fun. We're going to make a gingerbread house, bake cookies for Santa and spend some quality time together. I kind of can't wait. But before unplugging for the weekend, I want to share some things I'm loving from around the web this week...

1. After the morning I've had, I'd like to curl up here right about now!

2. Wall planters used as toy storage? Such a clever idea!

3. I just love this little peek at Miss Mrs. James' wedding. I can't wait to see the final product!

4. How cool are these free polaroid frames over at IROCKSOWHAT?

5. Nico loves playing cards, but has trouble keeping them all together. This nifty card holder would help remedy this problem.

6. At Dan's request, we'll be having this for breakfast after we open presents Sunday morning. I'm sure it's no less than 596843 WW points!

7. Are you ballin' on a budget this holiday season? Then check out these handmade gift ideas! At under $5 bucks a pop, you can afford to get something for everyone on your list!

8. These organization & storage tips look so useful! Especially the cutting board rack. Must do this!

9. Aren't these cookies beautiful? Far too pretty to eat!

10. And, finally, some blogs I'm loving right now: one, two and three.

Okay, I'm off to shop for the last few stocking stuffers! Have a great weekend, everyone!!
