Christmas: Catch Up in Pictures

Ok. It's been a little ridiculous that I haven't posted in so long and have left out the best part of our time here in London so far: Christmas with my fam. I can't fully explain all that we did (I was posting obnoxiously on fb, so check there if you're curious). But here is a bit of our Christmas Experience: London Edition 2011 in pictures.

The End!

Catch Up - Almost

Hey blog world. I will catch you up soon in pictures. But for now, my family's here and we're enjoying London at Christmastime. They embrace the whole 12 Days of Christmas thing, so the holiday spirit is still going strong! And we are loving it.

I'll leave you with this: 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! See you in 2012!

The Jesus Story

Kids are the best. This rendition of Jesus's birth is both hilarious and cute.



Amen.

I fell flat out... twice last week... true story!

1. Ice skating at Somerset House. I was mid triple-sow-cow when I was suddenly flat on my face. It was funny and my sweet hubs was right there beside me to help me up and laugh about it over hot coco later. {pics to come!}

2. Wet steps in the rain. True. It was pretty spectacular, actually. I had just gotten a coffee... so when I slipped, fell backwards, then continued down several steps, my backside was wet and dirty from the steps, my front was wet and dirty from coffee--in the hair... down the coat... on my knee... into my boots. Spectacular is the only word for it.

Word to the wise: be careful around me in cold and or wet settings. {nothing was even remotely hurt... except my pride.}
