    5 on Friday

    One. Last weekend I took some pictures of the boys and my nieces and I am DYING over how they turned out. One of these just may be our Christmas Card picture this year:) Two.

Maybe they’re too busy to realize it. Happy Friday Friends!

    5 on Friday

    Obviously I didn’t get this post done Friday night. I was in St. Louis for a conference and instead of blogging, my friend Alissa and I chatted in our pjs, had a drink (or two) on the club level of our hotel thanks to a room upgrade, and ate cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory for dinner.
