Christmas recap part 2

The Sunday before Christmas we celebrated with my aunts,uncles, cousins, etc on my dad's side of the family. It is pure chaos but oh so fun!! It was HOT that day so the kids got to enjoy playing outside a good bit.  All of the kids have the best time together and it makes my heart so happy to see them all together. I can just imagine what my grandparents think up in heaven:-)

Chaos:-)

My aunt got us all matching shirts that say family tradition for our house in Beaufort. Of course all of the kids (and my dad) had to put theirs on immediately!
My boo boo 
So excited!
All the kids!
The Richardson fam!
Crazies 
Silly kids

Chrismtas eve is dedicated to my family. My mom's side of the family has always celebrated on Christmas Eve so we continue on with that tradition and gather with Mikey's family Christmas Day. My immediate family gathers at my parents house around 3:30 to begin the festivities. We hang out and open presents before my aunt, uncle, grandparents and cousins join us around 6. It's rare that the whole family gets to be there due to other families living far away but we always have a nice time. We do a Chinese auction on Christmas Eve with all of the adults and it's always my favorite part! Everyone loves it. And. Talk about tradition. Chrismtas Eve has and will always be steak and potatoes. It's so nice to break away from the traditional holiday food fare. I absolutely love the excitement of Christmas Eve! 

Trying to get some pictures of the grand kids...

WHEW! That was long. Christmas already feels so long ago, boo to that.

Xoxo

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...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

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...
