Five on Friday, Vol. 11

I took the week off blogging because I've been crazy busy with work, but I'm back linking up with Darci, April, Christina, and Natasha.
Even though this has been a crazy week with work and getting sick, I've got to be honest, it's been nice taking a few days off. Something about this season makes me want to put my computer down and spend more time with James and family. Kelsea is doing a great series over on her blog about being intentional this Christmas seasons. If you haven't checked it out yet you definitely should!

Target has some awesome chalkboard gift tags! While they may not be super practical, I think they're adorable! I don't know about y'all but wrapping Christmas presents makes my heart so happy!

April posted this incredible looking dinner earlier this week. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to try it. It did not disappoint! I've struggled finding a kale recipe I can really get excited about, but this is it! The only time I ever eat black-eyed peas is on New Years for a year of good luck. Even though I love them I've never thought to make them any other time. I couldn't stop eating these and will most definitely make them again soon! Oh ya, and the chicken was super yummy too. This one will be added to the dinner rotation.

We got this Nativity Scene as a wedding present. I didn't realize how awesome of a present it was until I set it up last week. I absolutely love it and will have a hard time taking it down after Christmas.

 Note: Baby Jesus stays hidden until Christmas day!

She Reads Truth really nailed it this Advent Season with their Emmanuel study. I've really enjoyed it so far, and love being reminded about what this season is really about.

Happy Weekend sweet friends!
We're going to a Tacky Christmas Sweater Party tonight. Normally I'm super lame and don't dress up for things like this, but James made me I picked up a semi-tacky sweater  this one time. I'll be rocking it with pride... hopefully!
