Hey, It's Okay

 I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

.....to have had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break. Tommy was home from college and Natalie was off from school so we spent a lot of time together. We decorated the tree, saw movies, went to see Christmas lights, and we ate a lot of delicious food. 

.....to be excited that Tommy will be back shortly due to Christmas break. He should be home this weekend or next, depending on when his last final is. He's already signed up for Spring classes. 

.....to have enjoyed The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. They missed some fabulous book stuff though, so read the book! You can buy it here for $10. But I still recommend the movie. 

.....to be going to see A Christmas Carol at Natalie's school this week. Natalie is Mrs. Cratchit and has been enjoying rehearsals. She loves her costume. All I know is that it's pink. I'll find out for sure Thursday!

.....to love going to Hu Hot--for those who don't know, it's an all you can eat stir fry place--right now if you buy $50 in gift cards, you get $10 back. This is a perfect spot to bring teens with a bottomless stomach:

Elf Doughnuts At Krispy Kreme

We love the movie Elf and watch it every year. Some movie theaters even show it, so we take advantage. At Flix Brewhouse they have multiple showings of Elf and naturally we buy tickets. If you've never seen Elf, it's stars Will Ferrel as an elf from the North Pole who heads to NYC to find his father. 

I promise. It's hilarious. 

So when I heard Krispy Kreme had Elf themed doughnuts, I knew we had to get them. I mean, for starters, look at the box:

And yes, we have a talking Buddy the Elf doll and a Buddy the Elf dog. Because. You know. The movie is fabulous. 

So what do the doughnuts look like?

There are actually 4 themed doughnuts. The 4th looks like that Santa doughnut in the lower right hand corner of the box. But it's filled with Cookies N Kreme filling and I'm not a huge fan of that, so we passed. But it's still cute. 

So first up is the Buddy Snow Globe doughnut. It's the glazed doughnut covered in blue icing and white sprinkles. Topped with a Buddy the Elf chocolate piece:

Next up is Christmas Lights glazed doughnut topped with chocolate and green icing, plus sprinkles. Finished off with a fun Santa! I Know Him! chocolate piece: (Fun fact: that's one of my fave parts in the whole movie):

Finally, there's the  Buddy Makes Breakfast doughnut and whew, this one is sweet. It's a glazed doughnut topped with cake batter buttercream, milk chocolate candies, sprinkles, and a maple drizzle:

I absolutely loved these and am impressed with the designs and as I mentioned, the box is fabulous. I'd say my fave was the chocolate one, but all were tasty:

I especially loved this message:

These doughnuts will be leaving on December 24th, so if you wanted some, hurry in to Krispy Kreme:

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

.....to hope everyone who celebrates has a wonderful Thanksgiving this week! My son Tommy is home from college so we have a lot to be thankful for. 

.....to mostly be shopping Black Friday sales online to avoid the crowds. However, on Friday we might pop into Target and then check out Goodwill. 

......to be pulling out all the holiday decor this week. We want to get the tree decorated when Tommy is here. 

.....to be going to see The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes on Wednesday. I've heard that it's good. Some people say they got tired of all the singing though. My husband will be irritated. He's not big on sitting through songs but I did remind him that "ballad" was in the title for a reason. 

......to have gone to SeaWorld's Christmas Celebration to check out all the beautiful lights. The gingerbread man is from the dollar spot at Target. We named him Jones:
