favorite things.

My sweet friend Ashley hosted a favorite things party last night. I had never heard of such a party but, I guess it's pretty trendy right now. After attending I completely understand what all the rage is about. Favorite things parties are fabulous!! You get together with your friends, eat tons of good food and get lots of gifts. What's not to love!?
For those that have not heard of a favorite things party, let me explain.
Each guest was assigned a food item. For example, appetizer, dessert, drink, side etc.. we all brought our favorite of the item we were assigned. I was assigned to bring a drink so, of course I took ingredients for dirty Diet Cokes.
Along with our favorite food item, we were asked to bring a favorite thing for half the amount of people attending the party. We had a total of 12 girls so, we each took 6 of our favorite things. I have always had this guilty pleasure with Cosmo magazine so, that's what I took for my favorite thing.
After eating and mingling everyone drew 6 different names from a bowl and one by one we gave out our favorite items to the names we drew.

It was delightful and quite possibly the best party I've ever attended. I Encourage everyone to have their own favorite things party! you will not be disappointed :)

This weekend we spent some time with my family at Fish Lake and as you can see, this place is incredibly gorgeous! We enjoyed our time together in the mountains away from reality.  We stayed in the cutest little cabins and spent most our time enjoying the scenery. Blake was able to break out the old dirt bike and I tagged along with the four wheeler.  We even enjoyed some quality time as a family around the camp fire. All in all it was a fun and much needed getaway.

Here are some pictures I took along the way.
