We got to see our beloved friends and their kids.
Manhattan, Dallas and Portland all representing!
A couple of random iPhone snaps to remember the awesomeness of the night.
Oh YOU KNOW there were some amazing Christmas cookies…
Awww. (Behind Chief you can see the photobooth backdrop)
Surprise Guest! UJ!
Whaaat!? Such a fun surprise!
And we got Aunt Pam on the phone, and it was some great Gott family love.
You might want to know,
There are much better photos over here at (the
NEW & IMPROVED) Natural Light Photography Website!
We put the kids down in Kiera & Cole’s bed so we could stay longer…
Fun times. Happy Holidays, and the best year ever (twentynine!) and a new
apartment layout, and festive jammies, Cherry M&Ms?!, ancient rap reggae, best friends, family, and a new NLP website…
dare I say?
Epic
I just so happened to ABSOLUTELY LOVE this party.
Isabella turned Seven! The party was held at American Gymnastics Club, and even though Lucy was the littlest kid there – she was SO into it. (I would love to know what she was thinking in her head. Probably, something along the lines of, “can I move in!?”) She was shy for about 59 seconds, then she jumped to it.
Sweet Kiera made the cake – Rainbow! With Fondant Icing! And soooooo delicious.
(Here’s her post.)
Thanks for having us, Kelly Family! xoxo
PS. This is a phone snapshot (Instagram) of Oscar and Isabella after watching City Ballet’s performance of The Nutcracker, at the Palace of Fine Arts, the day before.
I just heard how sick you’ve been! Mark ran into Auntie Val this evening, who told him.
I’m worried about you!! XOXO
The latest craze (song) out there is Gangnam Style.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s this:
Kinda ridiculous, but totally fun.
However I’m not trying to blog this. (even though I just did – Boom.)
I’m actually trying share a moment from Oscar’s day..
Backstory:
Thursday’s routine has me doing my “workday” at laurel hill.
(Today I snapped these:)
MEANWHILE, across town, Oscar gets out of school. He goes to chess club for an hour, which he loves (yay!) from 3:30 to 4:30.
After that, my friend Belinda brings her son Brayden, plus Oscar and Shayan, and Brayden’s twin sister Kayleigh, across town to JK for soccer practice.
(and this saves me the cross town trip so I luvvvvv her)…
We’re soccer moms together.
Tonight, AFTER THE GIANTS WON, AGAIN, I remembered something, so I texted her. Here is the convo:
(Did I mention the World Series?!?
MadBum was crazy good!
or should I say…. Num Num style)
Another wonderful part of Carlo & Flor getting married, was that our far-away friends came to town.
Kristi & Rob flew in from Dallas, and Sarah flew in from Manhattan with August.
We hadn’t seen him is a while, and wow! So big, and handsome!!
I snapped these pics amid the happy chaos.
(Oscar wasn’t home because he was at school.)
This was an Instagram from the rehearsal dinner
This was our beloved table at the wedding.
This is one of those crappy phone pics that miraculously turns out awesome.
