I present: holiday random...
My friend Sara send me the first two pictures from the holiday sing along... she was right in front of the boys and could get better pictures than I could from my spot.
For the past few years we have done a girls party...I host it with several other girls. I didn't take many pictures at the party (at all....), um, this is the ONE I took:
And someone else took this one of the hostesses and sent it to me :)
On a random day off from school, I took the boys shopping to get a few last minute things and they were surprisingly good. Andy fell in love in Nordstrom...
And as I was checking out at Athleta, he was rearranging the window display...
Manning upped his game a little bit this year. He started off kinda lame, but once he heard some of his buddies antics, he started improving his ways. He tp'd the kitchen...
On another day during Christmas break, I thought it would be smart to take the boys to Costco. They started off sitting side by side in the cart (please take a second to notice Andy's socks. He INSISTS on wearing "big boy socks" and shorts. Every day. #hotmess).
And soon they were out of the cart and riding it on bellies....
I was SPENT after that shopping trip!
We had a party at the Carolina Inn bar--- another annual party, and this year, Tommy and Tricia got to come since they live here now! We have had so much fun with them here now. Eddie and Tricia at the bar...
Me and Tricia at the end of the night...
Thanks for the photo bomb, Ed.
With some of my favorite girls at the bar....
And, our sweet friends have a new born and didn't want to leave her at home...so they brought her! And, obviously, I was fighting for that baby and ended up holding her for quite a while.... sooooooo sweet! She has the thickest jet black hair you've ever seen-- I mean THICK-- the exact opposite of my blonde tresses... we were comical, ha!
With another love:
Another tradition we have is decorating gingerbread houses. My mom buys loads of candy....
Then my dad comes up from the basement when we are all done and he judges them. Sadly, my church didn't win anything. I call BS.
Speaking of BS, this is so random... I have a friend who is very soft spoken and somewhat shy... she also has two boys...she sent me this as a Christmas card this year. I about fell out....
Andy helped me cook his lunch and had to wear his chef hat because, #duh.
And, on one of Manning's last days with us, he ziplined through the kitchen... the boys thought this was hilarious...
I think this week might be a good week to CLEAN MY HOUSE and take down Christmas...... will it happen???
