Happiest of Fridays to you!! So glad it’s finally the weekend and we have our first official Christmas plans! We’ll be heading down to West Lafayette for our annual tradition of going to the Purdue Christmas Show. It’s one of my favorite Christmas traditions each year! Whatever you are up to, I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Here is this week’s Friday Five:
ONE | I finally got my hair cut last week and it feels so much better! For years, I had short hair and I finally decided to grow it long a few years ago. My hair is so fine that it gets stringy really easily so it felt good to get some length cut off. I got about 4 inches cut off and I love it! This picture is after my stylist curled it so it looks much shorter than when it is straight.
TWO | Kevin and I have a tradition of having dinner at a different steakhouse in Chicago the night before Thanksgiving each year. We got engaged the night before Thanksgiving in 2009 and we had dinner at Smith and Wollensky that night so we’ve had fun keeping up with the tradition. This year we went to Chicago Cut Steakhouse which we have been to before, but since we never got to go on Kevin’s birthday we kind of combined both occasions into one. We each had a filet and split two sides of brussels sprouts and whipped sweet potatoes. The steaks weren’t as good as we remembered, but the sides were on point!
THREE | I had a fun outing with some girlfriends to the Lyric Opera of Chicago this week! One of the girls in our small group plays in the orchestra for the opera and she give us tickets to see Porgy and Bess. This was my first opera going experience and I really enjoyed it!
FOUR | Have you heard of the Indie Coffee Passport? For $25 you can visit 22 different cafes to experience Chicago’s coffee culture! You get a stamp in your passport each time you visit one of the cafes. I purchased mine this week and am so excited to begin my coffee adventures!
FIVE | Don’t forget to enter the Holiday Gift Basket giveaway for a chance to win some awesome goodies!
Have a great weekend!

Thanks, Shelby! Isn’t filet the best? We go out for steak maybe twice a year so it’s always a nice treat!
