I know what you are all thinking (and if you are NOT thinking it, you really should be...), Lady Gaga for Christmas? Yes, i know. it's kind of really terrible. because, the song is not wholesome. She is mixed up on what goes on beneath the mistle-toe, because it is really just supposed to be one kiss. generally, i do not like people like lady gaga. but then i stopped fighting it, because i realized that there is no one like her, not even madonna. she is much more talented and much more mysterious/interesting. Also, i know a few of her friends, so i kind of feel like i know her, even though i dont really at all. so that is what i have to say about her christmas song. not really for the carol singing....lady gaga i love you so much.
on bandaid. jake and i decided we are going to write a christmas song that is all christmas-y and then, bam, you throw in some random current controversy out of no where. we are spending christmas alone, so expect a lot of that type of thing.
on the christmasettes. i have bad news....the christmasettes will not be touring this season. i heard they broke up. (dont fret, this split is not permanent)
*we worked really freaking hard on that routine.

Babies
I know everyone thinks they have to coolest family, but I really do. We laugh like crazy. I'd love so much to be closer to them, but who can complain when all three of their sisters live only a 2 hour flight away in a totally awesome city which also has many of their good friends and home town of Oak Ridge, Tennessee just a short drive away? Not me!
This is my niece Kate and my good friend Joanna! Joanna lives in Athens. It's the most adorable little college town ever where the University of Georgia is. She graduated from there and loved it so much that she bought a place and stayed. I can hardly stand Kate's cuteness. Oh yeah, Joanna and I hung out all the time when I lived in Atlanta because she is also good friends with my other good friend, Kim. Or, Kim-buh-ly.
Meg and Kate. Meg is the sillyest thing in the world.
We stayed at Jody's condo. Her condo is gorgeous. It makes me want to move to Atlanta or somewhere amazing where you can buy gorgeous property for less than 658423905876239581230956. Jody, Erin and I stayed up every night really late giggling. It was totes fun.On the subject of fabulous houses, Kelly and Mike recently renovated and added to their home. It turned out completely amazing. It's like a dream home. The girls rooms are like the inside of dollhouses and they let us all free hand paint the play room.
As you can see, we had talent shows, presents, food, family, laughing and waffle house hash browns scattered, covered and smothered. Yum. I miss the south. Oh yeah, we also ate fried green tomatoes, Cajun fried okra, and cornbread at Agnes and Muriel's. Yum.
I'm sorry I've been blogging for like an hour straight.
This is how it happened.
We drove up to Blythedale so we could dress Piper up like an elf and give her presents. She loved strangling her chicken dog chew toy like I knew she would. Once again, Piper was spoiled by us, her aunts uncles and grandmas AND random donors. It is so nice of people to donate lovelies to children in hospitals. Whoever you are, you are making people smile by your charity and love.
We went to Atlanta so we could dress up like sharks at the aquarium. We had an amazing time (as you can see by the video of me and my sisters below). If you haven't been to the Atlanta aquarium, you simply must. It's the biggest in THE WORLD! There is a Whale Shark tank that is six and a half million gallons of water. That is a S***load. hahahaha
We stopped by Olympic park so I could pretend to be this guy....
We took an afterhours tour of CNN so we could pretend to be news anchors.....My brother-in-law is a writer for CNN. What a cool job right?
Isn't a news room exactly like you picture it?
For some reason, we only have pictures of ourselves. We spent a lot of family time, I promise. How else do you think we could choreograph that sweet dance in the video below and win the talent competition? Jake says he hasn't uploaded them yet, and I am just stealing these from whence he has uploaded. Wait til you see Kate and Meg, they killed me with cuteness.

More Halloween
The Carters were Meg and Jack White. Awesome.
Juno and Bleecker, and Bear as a skeleton
And guitar hero.
If you want to feel insecure about your hosting skills, go to Becca's apartment. Everything is perfect. The food was delicious, spooky and adorable. Plus the decorations were so cute. Plus there was a costume contest and Jake didn't win "gayest". So, the night was a success. I am going to miss Halloween oreos.
I mean Halloween.
