Christmas part 1

-
We loaded up the Toyota with one toddler, one 80 pound dog, one 8 month pregnant chick, a rooftop carrier and a stash of Christmas gifts and headed North to the South. We left room for one special addition, our friend+baby-in-baking, SJCP! She made the last leg of the journey a  lot more fun. 

This picture depicts my inner "I'm so tall, you're so short" struggle that I've had since middle school

But let's not forget that she was the one that hooked me up to the social pipeline in the 8th grade so she can be as short as she wants to be. If it weren't for her, I'd still be sitting in the corner of the middle school cafeteria.
The Suits family is now the size of a small army. Caris was grandbaby #7 in 2013 and our 2nd baby will be #11 with grandbaby #12 already in the oven.

We spent time with Gigi and Pops after 6 long months apart. It didn't take long for Caris to warm up to them, much to my relief. 
We might need to send this picture to Sara so she can work some editing magic, but here's the gang! Our Pre-Christmas get together with the ParkerIIs.

3 Reasons

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School . This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day).

Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
