My Christmas looked like this… And then…night! Christmas! Baby Jesus! The sibs kind of decided against the Midnight Mass option…and elected for the 7:30 a.m. mass instead, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. COUGH. I love this photo someone snapped, though: Merry Christmas, everybody!

“T” is fo’ THANKSGIVING
Is it totes lame when bloggers are like, “Look at these photos of this one day”? Probably.

In my family, sometimes, if you’re lucky, you get to pick what you have for dinner when it’s your birthday, and Josh has picked Kentucky Fried Chicken every year for the past many (to my mother’s chagrin), so that was what happened onContinueContinue reading “These daily moments”

This youngest one with the sense of humor that only the baby in a familyContinueContinue reading “Josh quotes. “Why you wanna count my money?””
