Loving, Pinning, & a GIVEAWAY!

It's that time of the week again...linking up with Jaime for WILW and with Michelle for Oh, How Pinteresting.

 and

Jaime over at This Kind Of Love( the host of WILW )had her baby boy on Sunday. He is just the cutest little thing ever! 

I'm LOVING...

that on Monday night we got to see a reindeer! A real reindeer! He, Comet, was at the Capitol Christmas. He was very calm and kind of shy. He kept lowering his head and hiding behind his owner. I don't know what it was but I just loved looking at him. I think it was because that night was just full of Christmas-y things and reindeer are a huge part of Christmas time. 

( not the greatest picture but there he is! )

I'm LOVING...

this collage I made. It's Rowen...newborn to 12 months. I am going to get a large copy printed out for us to keep. Love that I decided to get the onesie month stickers. They made for great pictures and memories!!

I'm LOVING...

that slowly but surely we are getting our Christmas decorations up! I put this garland up a few days ago. It's a little lopsided. I keep forgetting to fix that! Oh well. It's still fun and festive. Hopefully I can talk Brent into us going to pick out our tree this weekend!

I'm LOVING...

these holiday burlap pennant banners that I made yesterday! I love crafty projects and this one was super fun!!

I hung them right above our kitchen entryway but I think that they would look good anywhere in the house! 

I'm LOVING...

that Whole Foods has their white cheddar cranberry cheese in stock! This is my most favorite cheese and it is only available during the holidays!! I buy some every year and it makes me think of Christmas and all the festivities that come along with the holiday. If you like cheese, you must go get some of this kind!
