Where did Christmas go???

This Christmas was one for the books.

My cheeks are still sore from all the smiling and laughing that has gone on over the past few weeks...

there were parties galore, B Family Sleepover on Christmas Eve Eve {fun new tradition}, delicious Southern meals, quality family time, and the list goes on & on!

JWB & I enjoyed our first and last Christmas as a family of two...this time next year we will have a seven month old-say what?!

As fast has Christmas approached us, it left in a hurry...yes I am that girl who has already taken down all of the twinkle & glitter.

I will admit that as FANTASTIC as the holiday season was, I was not as sad as normal when it was all over because we have SO many fun events coming up...

2011 was a year to remember but I have a feeling 2012 is going to be a life-changer.

Coming soon:

JSharpe birthday

a wedding/NYE extravaganza

ouuuuuur baby gender reveal party

stay tuned.

flowers, treats, & a song.

So ladies I have to brag for a second...

When I was 14 I met my soul mate.

I knew then that he was something special, but what I did not know then was that almost eleven years later, he would still be making my knees weak & my tummy full of butterflies.

He is the man that God truly made for me.

I am the LUCKIEST lady in the world because I am his wife.

....just got a beautiful poinsetta delivery, just because.

I love you JWB ;)

12-12-12

This wknd was full of fun and getting things done around the house...a good balance of the two!

Friday night my parents + me + Kel {JWB was doing the last leg of inventory @ work} headed to the coliseum for a holiday show...ice skaters, orchestra, & local celebrities-what more could you ask for?!

...and to end the perfect night we headed to Bone Fish for a late night dinner!

Saturday night me & JWB + Jess & Chad headed down to Chapel Hill for dinner + basketball game.

{ side note, even though i married into a family that bleeds blue, i am NOT a tarheel-i will admit that i had fun however :) }

Sunday we worked around the house and got some things done that we had been putting off for way too long!

Happy 12-12-12!

Have a great week ;)

15 wks.

This morning I had my 15 wk check-up @ the doctor

...got to hear the little baby's heartbeat-swoon.

Everything is looking perfect :)

{jwb has inventory @ work this wk [boo!] so he couldn't come with, thx mom for coming!}

Next visit-gender reveal. eeeeek!

will we be having a mischievous baseball-soccer-football player like his daddy or a curly hair-sassy-ball of fire like her momma?

whatever the little peanut may be, we are so pumped.

Christmas Kick-Off

This weekend was perfect.

Friday I was able to enjoy a day that was office-free (thx mom).

...after the hubs got home, we headed to Archdale to have dinner with Lank & Jenny

Me & knee got busy in the kitchen for a down home meal-chicken pie (we fought over the last few bites)/mac-n-cheese/pintos

pregnant girl heaven.

after we got our bellies full we decided to play a new game...OMG so fun & we literally laughed until we cried.

Saturday morning us girls loaded up & heading downtown for the Christmas parade...always a great spot for good, yet scary people watching.

A&T drum line. amazing.

our favorite float!!!

after parade watching we headed to Natty's for lunch & libations.

Saturday night we hit up SR to hear our girl sing [Jaxon Jill]!

{see BFF's blog for pics}

Sunday me & JWB hosted our annual Parade After-Party.

As always, it was a blast!

Yummy food, great company, & a fun evening!

December 1st.

I feel you Buddy.

Santa is coming.
