Merry Christmas and Stuff

So, hey. Merry Christmas! I'm pretty sure I won't be blogging until it's over. I'm swamped. I still have to send out cards... So obviously, they'll be late. This is so not like me. Oh well.

Here's a few happy wintery photos as my present to you.

Say WHAT?

It's Friday again and that means it's time for Say WHAT? The AMAZING 80's quote trivia game. In case you haven't played before, here is the down low – At the bottom of this post you will find a quote from an 80's movie. If you choose to play you must, without using the internet as a resource, guess which 80's movie the quote has been taken from. But here is where the rules have changed. If by Sunday we still don't have a winner anyone may go ahead and Google away. The first person to give the correct movie wins! Fun, huh? Leave your guesses in the comments section and if you are the first to correctly identify the quote, you win! I announce the winner on Sunday and that winner receives acknowledgment, linkage and if they have a profile picture I post that also. I recap the winner every Friday and include all of the aforementioned information. And hey, even if you don't know the answer just give me a shout out. I like to know who's stopped by!

Bon was our winner last week.



Time for today's quote. Don't forget to come back on Sunday (or maybe Monday if I'm lazy) to see if you are a winner. Have fun and good luck!

"I don't like you. I certainly do not love you. Do we have to have sex?"

Experience?

Has anyone had any experience with, say, how many Christmas oranges (or ornanges) is too many in one day? (for a 2 year old) So far I don't think we've gone over three in one day. But that is not with serious distraction. I'm slightly concerned that we could have a blow out over here.

And also, any suggestions on how to keep said toddler from putting another piece of orange in her mouth before she's swallowed the first?

Latest Obsession

Dora Dora. It's the only thing she wants to watch. Not only that but specifically this episode. What could be better than Dora AND Santa? Nothing. That's what.

Exhausted...but back

We are home. Home is so good. I will try never to take home for granted again.

I don't want this to be a whiney post. I will simply say that last Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday were the most exhausting and stressful days I've had in some time. Traveling with toddlers is no fun. Kudos to those of you who do it and don't find it so bad. Maybe it's just my kid. I'm sure it is, she seems to be an enigma.

My niece's wedding was beautiful. The hair went exceptionally well. Which is nice since I'm related to her and if it turned out badly I'd have to look at the pictures to remind me for the rest of my life.

Here are some fairly anonymous photos which should satisfy those of you who were curious about the hair, the dress, etc...

She is ridiculously gorgeous, I know. My favorite quote from the wedding day was from her husband. He said something like "And I am so very thankful for my wife," he gestures to her "How does that happen." Although it's not as if he is hideous or something.






Oh, and sadly... This



is the best picture we have of us from this wedding function. We all looked so nice too...
