happy holidays[about a week too late]




just a small recap of our holiday break. the above pictures pretty much capture our christmas perfectly. it really was better than i had hoped. everyone says this, but it really is so much better when there's a kid involved! as you can see, jude enjoyed all the paper and boxes[knew he would], and we just enjoyed how low-key the day was. did i mention we didn't get up til 11 am? [i was up at 10, but i had to wake the boys so we could have a christmas "morning."]







the rest of the break was spent being lazy mostly, but we did manage to squeeze in a trip to DC, a date and lunch with friends in from chicago! 
 
the DC day was kind of a flop, apparently jude found the trip less than thrilling, and cried the whole time in the stroller. we saved our signature stop at juiliana's for the end- which was totally worth it! chilean empanadas and fountain coke is an experience every mouth should experience!!! [my mouth is watering for it]

and what can beat a cheap date night? we went to ruby tuesdays, where my parents had given us a gift card and i also had a coupon[yay for 35 free dollars]. then went to see the final installment of the twilight saga [don't judge]- which was also pretty cheap considering one of the tickets was free. so we ended up spending less than $20(price of 1 ticket and a tip) for dinner and a movie. heck. yes.
 
it was so good seeing my friends! we've been friends since high school, and they're some of the greatest people! the kind of easy, no-drama relationships we all love. i hate that the boys are in chicago now, but they're pursuing some big dreams, and i couldn't be prouder!
 
new years eve was so low key i have no pics of the ball dropping. we bathed jude, put him to bed, and ate junk food and watched movies. we may or may not have actually missed the clock striking twelve. a 12:01 kiss still counts though, right?
 
hope your holidays were exactly what you wished for!
here's to a fabulous 2013!
