Friday snacks are a day early this week so that I can focus on the important things this holiday season, like eating Christmas cookies.
See you on the other side.

Baby Daddy bought jeans for the first time since college. A few of us teamed up and convinced him to go skinny. Now all he needs is an owl tattoo.
But seriously, he looks good.

One of my best friends turned 28, so we painted pottery.
I decided to make Baby’s First Christmas Ball.
This is why I don’t do crafts.

I get at least a dozen hits a day from someone googling “pregnant barbie.”
I find this incredibly satisfying.

Some dear friends visited yesterday.
We love them so much, but they live far away and we had yet to meet each others babies, born just weeks apart.
Waylon, meet your future wife.
Yeah, I said it.

Um, that IS the best Christmas video ever. Thanks for sharing! I just sent this post to all my family and said YOU MUST WATCH #10.
Isn’t it sweet? I really hope the real thing ended with glow sticks.
I am laughing about your Christmas ball.
Good try?

Same to you! Maybe someday?
Kate and Austin, Enjoy Waylon’s first Christmas! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!
Thanks Pat! Merry Christmas!
I LOVE your mom’s email. It’s amazing how much thought and time parents spend thinking about and planning food. When I’m with my parents, we’ve barely finished breakfast and they’re discussing the menu for lunch and dinner.
You ARE pregnant Barbie! Hooray! This is an accomplishment,
Thank you. Must add to my resume.
1) Waylon in the bath is adorablz
2) That Christmas video is THE BEST. Thank you for sharing it.
3) I love that you already have Waylon in an arranged marriage. Those pictures are so cute.
All week I look forward to Friday snacks.
Choir nerd!
Wow that is quite the menu! I was drooling reading it :P
Eating pants!
That video was amazing. The third king stole the show.
Now I know why your Dad was complaining about their big grocery bill! Enjoy!!!!
Amelia and Waylon look like they had a fun time meeting each other!
Also- I’ll be @ your parent’s house tomorrow night for some shrimp cocktail.
