Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

I got to spend this past weekend with some awesome girls! Back in October Jocelyn, Kristen, and I started planning a "Girls Weekend" trip to Charleston. Our goal was to go to the outlets and buy some new clothing in smaller sizes...and boy did we accomplish our goal!


Kristen and Jocelyn came to my apartment on Friday night so that we could set out early Saturday morning. Kristen and Jocelyn got coffee from Chick-fil-a but the lady didn't give them stirrers, so they improvised with their creamer containers.

Kristen getting U-Bet gassed up!

Good morning Joce!!!

Strike a pose girls!


Very odd....a frozen fountain in Charleston.

Joce: Help! My pants are trying to have sex with me!


So...we decided it would be fun to find tacky outfits for each other. Joce went first with this lovely sequin skirt. Notice her socks and boots!


I volunteered to go next...boy was that a mistake. I think I win!


Whoohoo Kristen...love those knee socks and sequin dress!


Let's see if we can use all of our scarves for Erin's outfit!


Not quite sure...Itold them to do a cheerleader pose...haha.


Our shopping damage....in the back of U-Bet.


Waiting in the freezing cold to buy tickets for Bride Wars.


Independent Woman....seriously?


On Sunday we ate lunch at T-Bonz and had dessert from Kaminsky's (aka the best dessert place ever!). We all took our leftover dessert to take home...or in Joce's case, to the car. Yeah, we are still in the parking lot...the dessert is that good!

Christmas Pictures

I have finally uploaded pictures from Christmas! I got to spend a week and a half in Atlanta with family and loved every minute of it...well almost every minute.

Maggie in her cute Christmas outfit!

Its a Christmas tradition in my family to make lots of Christmas cookies! I helped the boys make sugar cookies for Santa Claus.

Christmas vacation = No makeup + Workout clothes

My sister and I call this Jackson's "sexy" face...who knows with that child...he's crazy!

Aunt Paige and Aunt Margaret with Maggie. She is named after us :)

The boys with their one gift to open on Christmas Eve.

Jackson, Brandon, and Maggie on Christmas morning. My sister follows in on the family tradition of sitting on the steps to take a picture before going downstairs. I HATED this as a child - I just wanted to see what Santa had brought!

Maggie loved her first babydoll - a Cabbage Patch kid!


Jackson with his new kid laptop and bag...from Aunt Margie of course :)

Brandon and his RipStick...its like a skateboard but with two wheels!

The RipStick takes some serious balance to ride.

Maggie in her Christmas dress....SO CUTE!
She is taking after me and her mom....she's nosy! I was holding her and she was trying to see what everyone was doing so she started leaning over..haha.
Jackson asked for a bathrobe for Christmas. We decided to call him "Hugh" and asked him where all of his girls were...he didn't get the joke of course..haha.

The boys got RockBand from Santa...I love Brandon's face in this picture! He's really good at the singing part :) My dad...not so good at the drums.

GG gave the drums a try - she was the best out of everyone!

I just laugh when I see this picture! This suit is actually part of Jackson's "play clothes." He likes to dress up in his suit and pretend that he is going to work (aka the dining room).

What do you do when your baby girl has no hair? You put a bow on a headband of course!
Haha...Jackson wanted to play with Maggie's new toy - yeah, he's stuck.
