Capturing Christmas Part 2: a tree and lights.

We don't have any grand tradition of going somewhere to cut down a tree or making a day out of it or anything like that...but we did snap some pics of us getting our tree this year. We always buy from a local tree farmer...and this year we bought from the guy who my family has used for forever. I loved our tree this year, it was the perfect size.

Colls Bolls and her daddy.

I was trying to show off her cute outfit:-) It was cheerleading themed...so precious.

Our tree!

We went to the Zoo one Friday night for the Lights Before Christmas event. Mikey and I have gone to this event a few times before, but this year was obviously much better! We didn't use our stroller so C could really get a good look at all the lights...we just took turns carrying her. It's a good thing she's a peanut. She was amazed for the most part...she really enjoys people watching too...especially little kids and there were TONS there. She also got her SECOND experience with Santa...we will just say {Santa-2, Collins-0}. This time she was terrified...the first time was just a little sad/pout...but this time she was NOT happy with us. Bad parents, we are!! :-) It's just so cute to see them crying trying to get away from that BIG, OLD scary looking dude.

GET me outta here!!!!!!!!

She was MUCH happier after Santa when she could ride on the {fake} elephant.

Happy baby!

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more! This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun! (and extra chaos of course, too!) We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing. We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom. We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME! We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome! We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball! My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!! Mikey and I even got to sneak out one night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou
