thursday update

hi everyone!  how was your christmas?  

mine was pretty fabulous.  on christmas eve we all went to my grandpa's house for a few presents and ham.  but mostly, we met our second-hand smoke quota for the year and drank too much.  my brother makes a mean brandy old-fashion.  

christmas day came with three christmas to attend.  first comes santa, then the boyfriend's family and finally, my other grandparents.  we ended the day on an extreme high note with full bellies of spaghetti casserole.  we only get it once a year so you have to channel your inner fat-kid and dive in.  it is soooo goooooood.

i got a keurig from my g-parents, i don't know how i managed to drink coffee and tea before this.  dat thing is awesome.  my mom got a kitchen-aid stand mixer which is the greatest invention of all time.  i give christmas two thumbs up.

before

the boyfriend's grandparents have a million volumes of family photos.  every picture they take ends up in these books so here is the most ADORABLE picture of the boyfriend (middle) and his bros.  

after

and then he grew a beard.  

i hope your holidays were fab. 

happy thursday.
