This JT concert DVD was from the kids to me. When we put it in the DVD player and I heard it start to play, I made my normal JT sound. [...]

Target has an actual Charlie Brown Christmas Tree for sale (link). Like, they actually call it that.

iTunes has a free holiday album available here featuring artists like Weezer and Sarah McLachlan (let’s hope she’s not singing one of those SAD ASPCA songs).

The company [...]

Easter

Had no plans with extended family this year but enjoyed the time at home on a rainy, cold day.
Saturday, we dyed eggs. Had two kits to use – glitter and tie dye. I knew Blake would pick the glitter kit.

The eggs were then scattered around the house by Andy for the kids to find Easter [...]

Holiday Break, part 5: St. Louis trip, days 3 and 4

Before I get started, did y’all happen to notice that somebody from the City Museum commented on the previous trip report? I love the Internet! Maybe this post will get the mayor to comment. Lord knows I’ve spent hours telling the Internet about their city – it’s the least they could do!

Holiday Break, part 5: St. Louis trip, day 1

Holiday Break, part 3: December 24

After breakfast, I spent a few hours working on a scrapbook of Nick and Celeste’s wedding shower that was way overdue and I wanted [...]

Holday Break, part 2: December 23

We arrived at my mom and dad’s house on December 23. Their house is so lovely at Christmas with their gorgeous tree, beautiful Christmas dishes and my mom’s villages that she has setup.
Blake is enamored with the villages.
We got unpacked and then it was time for me to dive right into a dreaded task: wrapping [...]
