So I'm standing in line in the evil Wal-Mart last night and was bored so I let my mind wander. Evidently I let my ears wander too cuz I started paying attention to these two ladies' conversation behind me.
Lady number 1: "Oh my gosh! A secret wedding? They got married?!"
Lady number 2: "I thought they were already married!"
Number 1: "No, they've just been living together."
Number 2: "Wow! I can't believe they finally got married then. They have kids together and everything!"
At this point I take a peek back at them and realize who they're talking about. On the cover of one of those celebrity trash talk magazines is the headline "Inside Brad and Angie's SECRET WEDDING!" {or something like that}. I giggle and listen on as they go back and forth about this celeb and that celeb who are married, divorced or "just living together". I guess the headline "Jessica is a home wrecker! Details on how she stole her new fiance from his wife!" caught their attention because now they're saying,
Number 1: "Wait, I thought he was already divorced when they started dating!"
Number 2: "So did I! I can't believe she would do such a thing!"
Number 1: "She must have been just trying to out-do Nick because HE got engaged, like a month before!"
Number 2 "Wow. What a tramp! I always thought she was so nice. What a shame..."
Number 1: "I guess it just shows you that no matter how well you think you know someone..."
Number 2: "I know it, I know it." {as she sadly shakes her head}
This next bit made me literally laugh out loud and be very grateful that I had the girls with me so I could pretend I had found them amusing instead of the 2 women behind me...
Number 1: "I don't really follow celebrity gossip though, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised by all those headlines."
Number 2{as she stares intently on yet another celeb trash mag}: "Yeah, me neither. It's really none of my business what they do with their lives."
Were they joking? Did they then laugh at how ridiculous they just were? Did they even realize how stupid they sounded and how ironic their whole conversation was?!?
Nope. No-sir-ee. Uh-Uh.
Wow. Then they moved on to gossiping about "real" people and "important" matters. Too funny. Made me giggle, I tell you what!

Moving on! The girls helped me make butter pecan toffee right before Christmas, and helped us eat it too! Poor Maelee's teeth got stuck together and made her make some FUNNY faces while she chewed! LOL This first pic is Madi showing me the tiny MnM's and thinking they are so cute and "just my size! Can I eat ALL of them?!?" Yes, she is my child and no, I didn't let her eat ALL of them.
This is Maelee's "my teeth are stuck together" face
This little girl does NOT like her hands to be dirty, but the chocolate WAS pretty good...
I love these girls, and they made the Holidays so much fun. Hope you enjoyed yours as much as we enjoyed ours!!

Cute pics! Love your grocery story of the chicks in line. It reminds me of Aaryn and I. He'll probably kill me for telling this but...I can't help myself;)
Christmas Eve we went to the grocery store and it was packed but as we parked Aaryn was in a totally non shopping mood but we needed some basic stuff. So as we parked we saw this other car with a Dad talking and smiling to his son and pointing in all directions. I asked, "What's he doing?" And Aaryn replied in a grumpy mood, "I don't know he's probably explaining something to his retard of a son." So as I’m softly chewing out Aaryn about how that’s not kind, the dad and son get out of the car and the dad yells kindly, “AAaryn get a cart!” And then I start to giggle and whisper to Aaryn, “Serves you right that his son’s name is Aaryn, you deserve it.” And the twinkle in Aaryn’s rolling eyes and the smirk on his face told me he knew he deserved it too.
The funny thing is that it didn’t end there, later as we were in the packed grocery store down the medicine aisle looking for liquid Tylenol, (cause that’s about the only pain killer I can take while pregnant), the dad comes around the corner in a clumsy happy go lucky way yelling again to his son from another aisle, “AAAARON the lemon cough drops are over here!” And I hate to say this but in that moment I thought to myself, ‘it isn’t the son who’s the retard, it’s the dad.’ And what made things worse is I looked back at my Aaryn at that moment and the look on his face made me bust up laughing! And of course with me laughing he turns bright red because this dad now is looking at us a little questioningly and slightly offended. Aaryn says quickly, “She thought you were talking to me,” and I quickly back up this by saying, “Yeah, cause his name is Aaryn too,” pointing to my husband. This explanation brings an understanding to the dad’s eyes and to add more comic to the situation, the dad smiles and says a loud, clumsy, go lucky farewell, to Aaryn as he turns the corner, “See ya later Aaryn!” And again I laugh cause the look on Aaryn’s face is classic!
That's too funny! I can totally see Aaryn's responses to that! And yes, it DOES serve the stinker right for the retard comment. LOL
Madi's hair is so cute! Not to mention the faces she's making - she cracks me up! Funny how kids go through that phase of not liking their hands dirty. I love Maelee's toes in the last pic on the highchair!
