Pintrest

For both of our family Christmas parties we had over 50 people. This year we thought the best place to eat would be in the garage. We cleaned it out and turned it into a Winter Wonderland. When Tiffany came over she noticed we used curtains to cover part of the garage with bikes and tools. She asked, "Where did you get the idea, Pintrest?" I replied, "No... It was Kyle's idea."

After Fletcher and I had opened all of our gifts he held up one and asked, "Where did you get the idea for this, Pintrest?" I laughed and said, "Yes." He then added, "I used to hate Pintrest cause you would be on it all the time, now I think I like it."

Battle of the Snowmen

Christmas may be my favorite time of year because of the Annual Battle of the Snowmen. Well lets just say things got a little creative this year when we started to add props into the picture.

It all started with me changing Coco's snowman to be Fletch.

Then she got super creative with the shark infested waters.

Fletcher and I answered with our snowmen on the top of the Christmas tree.

And then Coco got creative with the gift wrapping and movie quotes.

"What the hey? You've been practicing your Christmas wrapping."

And since Coco hates Christmas music before Thanksgiving I thought the following quote was appropriate.

"Blast this Christmas music... it's joyful and triumphant."

White as Snow

About 6 weeks ago I dyed my hair. My goal was to get the copper out of my hair. After I dyed my hair Fletcher said, "I like your hair it looks more red." After that day he and I both learned our lesson.

 A few days ago I dyed my hair again. The first thing I said when he walked in the door was, "Hey Fletch, I dyed my hair do you like it?" He replied with an, "Uh-huh."

Little did I know my mother, who I have lived with for twenty plus years, still hadn't learned this lesson. After I dyed my hair I thought I looked a little bit tanner. I walk in and ask, "Coco, what do you think of my hair?" She answers, "It looks awesome!" Right as I am about to say, "Doesn't it make me look tanner?" she adds, "It makes you look like Snow White with that porcelain skin of yours." After that I did one of the following: Hit my palm to my forehead or stomped off with a loud grunt. I can't remember, lets just say it was the response that was more mature.

Later I am telling Fletcher the funny story and Coco says, "Don't worry I will just say, 'Uh-huh' from now on like Fletch."
