Everyone's Obsessed with Jarred...

This is a super fun post.
First I hope everyone had a great weekend.  Mine was good! Went to double date dinner with my sister and brother in law to our favorite place to get amazing mussels in Philly - Monks.  so good.

Looked at a few more houses - I'll post a longer update on that soon I swear.
That's about it for the weekend. - Back to work now almost 1/2 way to summer! Typically the rest of the year will now fly by. :)
Anyway on to the reason for this post.  My niece and nephews are OBSESSED with jarred.
Everything is Jarred it's lame and adorable.  
Nora face-timed me the other day and for 2 minutes straight before I hung up on them constantly repeated Jarred's name.  Girlfriend's in love.  Here's the photos to prove it -

Look at the love in her eyes.
On NYE she would walk out of the room Jarred was in and just repeat his name to those of us in the other room.  
She had always had a soft spot for him since she was a baby.  It's the cutest.  Her latest is carrying around my phone which has a lock screen of Jarred and I, she'll look at it and point to Jarred saying his name.
The triplets also love Jarred.  Once they SCREAMED his name when he walked in the door.   If you ask them "what does Jarred do" here is their response (and Greg's)-

-

It all started with Tommy getting hurt and unconscionably crying at my parents house months and months ago while Jarred was making this face at him-

Tommy starts laughing and coming up to Jarred trying to cross his arms and make this face back.  He has since perfected the Jarred and now everyone does it.

Such is my life...
(I secretly love how much they all love Uncle Jarred)

Post Christmas Blues

Hope everyone had a great Christmas! 
I think I ended up with all my wishlist items and more! Great job everyone!! :)
It was a crazy holiday as always.
We start off the holidays by getting together with my dad's side of the family the Sunday before Christmas.

                                

                               

                           

                              

                             

                              

Its pretty much insane but one of my favorite traditions.  The kids are starting to outnumber the adults!
Next up is Christmas Eve - I typically go to church with my Momma then my sister and brother-in-law bring the kiddies over to see our town's firetrucks going through the neighborhood with Santa.

some Christmas eve read and green

  

Christmas Day after my brother and sister and their families do their Christmas morning they all come over to my parents house we have another Christmas morning present opening shit show.  The kids seem to enjoy it more and more each year.  As long as they each get the exact same gifts.  We all have brunch then go our separate ways for the afternoon.

Then my parents have family over for dinner.  Jarred typically does his own thing almost the same thing m family does - Christmas morning then dinner.  So I don't see him until after dinner.  This year not until around 11pm. :( Next year we'll have to figure out a better arrangement.  Christmas was fantastic as always.  I hate how it ends so quickly though. :(

This week I have spent thinking of ways to buy things for our house that I can use for storage at my parents house now.  Ikea is amazing.  Minus that I see such adorable ideas for their stuff on pinterest only to find out what I now want is discontinued.  Grr Ikea.  

Hope everyone had a great new year! Looking forward to what 2015 has to bring! Hopefully a new house.  More updates on the house hunt soon!
