Morning! I pulled off the surprise last night. Dh said he had no clue. Although he wasn’t mentally prepared for a night of drinking so he passed out by 11:30. Lol. I took it easy so I feel good today.
We went to a breakfast with Santa event this morning and then we were planning on heading to the ILs overnight. We were in such a rush this morning we didn’t really realize the spots around Hs mouth look like HFM. DHs extended family was going to be there so we decided to turn around a go back home. N is super bummed she can’t go to grandpa and grandmas so we’re trying to bribe her with more fun things to do today instead.

Glad the party was a success, slenle! It was at your house, right? Did you just do a food, drinks, mingling type party? Also, sorry about the potential HFM

L is napping and MH and C are at a birthday party. I should shower, but I'm eating jalapeño poppers and placing a Crate and Barrel order.

Hello!! It's been a long day but a good one. Running group was great, Colin did really well at skating, then we picked up our tree. We brought it in during nap and it's not ready for lights just yet, so I spent the rest of nap cleaning the beds in the backyard - better late than never? - then SIL came by to take some photos for our Christmas cards. Now Colin is watching skiing with DH and I'm trying to distract Chase from the tree. I am also writing a thank you note or 2 every spare minute, and I need to have Colin start signing them.
Speaking of Colin, he's so excited for Christmas. It should be a fun year!!

Hey guys. I was MIA all week because I was out of town with M and no H.
We got back yesterday and he was soooooo happy to see my H.
This morning we took M for a haircut and went to lunch. I’ve been having a “me” day since. Currently getting my nails done and contemplating where to get (solo!) dinner.

Has anyone ever ordered holiday cards from Staples? We always do Tiny Prints, but it's pricey. Staples has a Groupon..

Hi! I got a new phone and couldn’t log in earlier but now I’m somehow logged in. I don’t understand it but happy to be able to check in. We drove back from Amarillo today. The trip was actually very pleasant. I think I spent so much time preparing for the absolute worst that it was actually a really nice time. Mother-in-law and I got along totally fine and there was not one incident. I can’t remember a time in the last handful of years where everything went as perfectly as this trip. We might pick up a tree tomorrow and I need to do some grocery shopping. I’ll be headed to Dallas for a few nights next week.

The past 3 days without fail at dinner time I have crazy contractions. Tonight I was visiting 97 year old grandma and had 93 year old grandma with me. I was waiting for my dad to get there so I could leave and pretending that I was fine. It wasn't easy. Saw a mom I know who had a baby 6 weeks ago. She told me she was on the way to the hospital and knew she wouldn't make it. They detoured to a closer hospital and her baby was born 8 minutes after they got there. The doctor who delivered her didn't even know her name until it was over. That's like my worst nightmare, I may not sleep tonight.

Well we survived the pictures today. S was not very cooperative as expected, but I think they got a few good ones. Also, when I got there I realized her hair now was PURPLE, not Navy. Whoops! Luckily I happened to have a silver one in my purse. I took this of her when we got home because she finally decided to smile and have fun (she likes the comforts of home)...

I’m laughing at Mr Kim, it’s your 4th baby; of course no one knows when the baby will decide to make his entrance. FX baby stays put.
