Weekend wrap up (and more)

Whew!!!! Things have been BUSY lately, as I'm sure it has been for everyone else around too.  I made a promise that the Friday after Christmas we would do NOTHING.... Jammies, play time, cuddle time and couch time ALL day... But until then.... 

Last week we had my first office Christmas party (yes we have two... another one just for the attorneys tonight)  on Wednesay night and we haven't slowed down since. Friday was Collins preschool Christmas party and we took then whole fam:-). Weezie was off so we had the boys with us. So thankful that Mikey works for a bank and has so much time off!
With bestie and future neighbor Mary Brooks!




I also got blonder Friday morning before the party, and man... That makes ya feel good. If I won the lottery I would have someone blow out my hair EVERY DAMN DAY. 

Friday night was our ELEVENTH annual ZTA girls Christmas party. We had big pledge classes but these (minus 5-6) are the girls that I hung out with... And I love every single one of them. We missed our girls who couldn't be there but it was a BLAST. We do a white elephant gift exchange and I came home with a $50 gift certificat to Ulta, go me!! Most popular present this year went to the Avett brothers tickets. 

After we take our staged group photo for the night, we put the cameras AWAY and have a ball;-)   And a slumber party!  No driving!

Much to my dismay.... (Ouch to hangovers at the age of 31) we were on the road at 8:45 heading to North Carolina for Mikey's mom's family Christmas. We had a fantastic lunch at The Table, which is owned by Mikey's cousin and his wife and is downright incredible. We then headed to his aunts house and hung out for the rest of the day and night. 

Collins and cousin Brooks had a ball playing together. 

And we finally got a picture of Thomas with his (first) name namesake... Mikey's grandfather is Thomas. Poor little G has no living namesake so we included him too so he doesn't feel left out. 

Three Thomases... And Graham.

We headed home late Saturday night so we could go to church and sleep in our own beds. 

We all slept till 8:30(!!) Saturday morning... (Thanks to a 12:30 nursing session when we got home). Then it was church and off to another family Chrismtas. That recap will have to wait. I absolutely LOVE the Chrismtas season... But whew!! B-U-S-Y!!

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...
