Saturday night we all went to Keith and Ashley's house for their Christmas party which was a great time. We got to see friends we hadn't seen in at least a year and there were tons of kids there! Who knew we'd all end up being such great breeders! Emmylou enjoyed getting passed around from person to person and Gary and I had fun with the white elephant gift exchange, where the funniest present was probably a set of three urinal deodorizer screens (I didn't even know those existed- and where exactly does one go about purchasing them?). Here's Emmylou being held by Jen with Ashley and Cole at the party:


And we finally got to see a very tan Emily yesterday (I'm so jealous) since she's back from her cruise. Here she is with Lulu and the adorable Mexican dress she bought her. It has a peacock on the front that is sooo cute! Thanks, Em!


Back at the house things are still a mess but it does feel like we're making some progress each day. We can't wait to get back to a normal life that doesn't include eating out every meal or moving huge piles of clothes to get into bed at night. And Christmas shopping? I'm sorry, but is there a holiday coming up? I hadn't noticed.
