holiday wrap up.

i know its over. tell that to the folks who still have their lights up. and are still turning them on every night.

at any rate, if we are not judging them.. i figured i'd be in the clear for being fashionably late with posting some pix from my favorite moments during this past holiday season..

my next post will be entitled, "happy new year"!

at our house, you get new pajamas on Christmas Eve. since my hubby gets a little obsessed with Christmas themed movies (especially A Christmas Story) these flannel pantalones were the perfect gift.  The munchkin helped to pick them out.

ah. couldnt wait for this reaction.. she had been asking for a back pack like one of her school pals, so we surprised her with this.. she doesnt leave home with out it.

check it out!!!

we even got a little snow.. but we dont need that to start a fire.. if its below fifty and we have wood in stock..its all good:-)

something to eat, something to read, something to wear, and something you need. and small enough to fit in these stockings..

Pop Pop and munchkin..and his new Notre Dame sweatshirt thanks to Daddy.

I made two sweet potatoe pies, which turned out quite well I might say.. I gained 7 pounds over the holidays.. may have something to do with eating pie for breakfast every day?

since i have to drag the munchkin out of the playground sand box kicking and screaming everyday we thought this might lure her home..

one of my most favorite things is checking the mailbox for Christmas cards.. my mother in law asked why all the cards looked the same.. i think Tiny Prints is probably pulling through this recession just fine:-) they do have REALLY cute stuff.

this year, in lieu of our annual holiday party we opted to do a kid friendly after Christmas brunch the day after Christmas..

visiting and relaxing with family are the icing on the cake during this special time of year.. it's definitely a reminder of what's most important in this life.

hope your holidays were super special...

go bunnie!

in honor of the big day i have finally reached my goal weight! I lost 12 pounds!! the bad part is.. none of my clothes fit.. and the good part is.. none of my clothes fit!!  i wont run out and buy new clothes just yet.. let's see how long i can keep this up..

so i'm thinking about having dinner here or here with hubby and the munchkin to celebrate another year of life... now that i am an old lady -  i usually like to keep it low key on the actual day and just hang out with my two favorite people:-)

i havent been to the decatur arts festival before but am thinking of hitting it up on saturday.. it should be a nice little family outing.. and maybe we can find some great local art and snacks!

super excited to take in sex and the city 2 with my girls! i had a huge belly and was waddling around when the last one came out. we are looking for a designated driver:-) who knows what other mischeviousness we will get into.. it's 80's night at East Atlanta Lounge.. so WATCH OUT!!

Tiny Prints always has the super cutest invites which are a must to set the tone.

so i've been scouring the martha stewart site trying to come up with a little menu for a little birthday barbeque..

thinking about something like this

 

and this..

 

  and we dare not forget this

 

okay now i'm REALLY hungry!!

i'll let you know how it goes..

looking forward to some sweet relaxation!! it's been a crazy week already... it's only wednesday and i'm already talking about the weekend!!
