We Are Family!

Day 26: A picture of your family


While we have a pretty large extended family on both sides, for now, our immediate family is pretty small. Here we are. On day 1. While I have mentioned that I am torn about switching holidays, it occured to us recently that we are our own family, and will soon start our own traditions. I am excited to mesh traditions from both sides, and to create ones of our own. It will be hard to say, "No, we aren't coming for Christmas, but you are welcome at our house." But we will soon be saying that. As soon as little miss can walk down her own stairs to see what Santa has in store. Yes, we will tell our children about Santa. No, I don't feel as if I am lying to them. It's a fun tradition. Not a moral issue. More on that later.  It's a difficult concept to me-starting our own thing- but our parents did it at some point, and so will we.


Today my mom and I went out for a little shopping... look what I scored:
A Balboa Baby nursing pillow! I registered for one of these and didn't get it- but I have always thought they were So cool. Practical. Cute. Perfect. Anyway, they retail for about $45, so when I got 3 Boppy's over the course of my pregnancy, I couldn't justify going out and getting one of these, too. Well, enter Albany, GA "consignment" shop. I saw this and died. Only $22 and 25% off? I scored my dream nursing pillow for a cool $18. Love. It.

Tonight our dinner menu= Ribeyes, Deviled Eggs, Asparagus, Baked Potatoes, Salad, Rolls. Wine.
It's time to eat and my mouth is watering I think I hear my baby.

Until Next Time,
The Guff

  1. CSB and I decided to do holidays with both our families this year... Though we are still seeing both mine and his family for T-giving and Christmas it is still. so. hard. We are already SO excited to have a house and have both our families together. I am very much looking forward to starting our own traditions, too. Love you!

    P.S. I plan on doing Santa one day, too! When I have my own kids, of course. :)
