A thankful heart

My thanksgiving holiday mission was a success!!! We thoroughly enjoyed our extra long holiday weekend; we got in lots of family time, relaxation time, cuddle time with my babies, decorated the house, shopped a tad and just plain had a great Thanksgiving. 

We started out Wednesday night by hosting Mikey's family, everyone stayed till 11... I would say it was a success! 







Thursday morning my best friend brought her baby over for a couple hours since she lives in LA and we don't ever get to see each other. It was perfect. We has the macys thanksgiving day parade on and Colls was in heaven with THREE babies around. 


We headed over to my parents house around 1 on Thursday. We had a laid back day of stuffing our faces and enjoying quality time with the fam. I love watching Collins and her cousins play together. We played outside after lunch, napped, and took our Christmas card picture. We headed home around 7 and after the kids went to bed I started putting up Christmas decorations!






My mom, Collins and I ventured out Friday for just a few hours which was perfect. Enough to get us in the spirit but not so much as I felt like a whole day was spent shopping. After naps, we went and visited with Mikey's aunt and then went and bought our Christmas tree!

Saturday was spent being lazy! We stayed in our jammies almost all day, finished decorating, watched a lot of football... Sad day for my gamecocks, and then hung out with friends a bit Saturday night! We were ready to get out of the house a while so we packed up the kids and headed over to a friends for a couple hours. It was perfect. 

Colls and I did a little more shopping on Sunday and I cleaned the house before it was time to get ready for our friendsgiving!!  

It really was the perfect four day weekend. I'm so incredibly thankful for SO many blessings in my life. 

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Xoxo

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...

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...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
