I know you've all been waiting with baited breath for a little "what we've been up to" post. Don't deny it. I know it's pretty much all you've been able to think about this holiday season. And I'm here to deliver!
We'll start with our most exciting news.
Guess who I saw shopping at the mall the other day?
You can't tell?
It may or may not be Melissa Gorga and her daughter being run down by a super creepy stalker... like me. Don't know who Melissa Gorga is? Well aren't you just toooo classy for Bravo TV! You think you're better than me?!
No, really, congratulations. You might be a little bit better...
Sadly, this is the only picture I got, because after I sniffed her out at Guess and started to ask her for a picture, my darling three year old bolted. And because I'm totally selfless and a super good mom, I ran after her. The things I do...
Turns out Leah's bolting was due to a little celebrity sighting of her own. Ladies and gents, the Christmas Ice Princess:
I'd say there's a pretty good chance this particular princess moonlights as a professional wrestler.
Think the Turkey Sub was phased by her deep voice and casino-esque aroma? Not a chance.
Jersey-style princesses, we love you.
We also love Macy's. Because on Friday we ventured into Manhattan to Macy's "Santa Land" to meet the man himself. And because I was so enraptured by the general splendor, I only took three photos...
She appreciates luscious facial hair. Makes her feel all cozy and taken care of. What can I say? It's in her blood.
Leah, on the other hand, was a little put off by that crook-eye. But not so much so that she didn't go ahead and ask for a swimming pool.
There's no photo evidence of Leah's Santa visit because, well, I was sitting with her... and somehow my gut magically spilled over the top of my jeans and emerged out from under my shirt. It was a real Christmas miracle.
After Santa gave us the boot, Sam left work and met up with us at the Miracle on 34th Street Puppet Show. I dare say it's the cutest little Christmas tradition there ever was. There were no photos allowed during the show, but here's the Turkey Sub and Tiny Tuna waiting for it to start.
And finally, Saturday night we had our ward Christmas party. Sam and I both have a weird phobia about asking people to take pictures of us. There's no excuse for it. And we're getting help. But I just wanted you all to appreciate what a real victory this photo is.
Meet CrazyEyesMcBigface...
It was a glorious night, indeed.
Thanks for reading.

Ha! I was worried for a second that you didn't like my mad photo skills when I saw there were no pictures of the 3 of you with Santa. Sorry I didn't catch the said magical gut, otherwise I would have asked you to please put it away for the picture. ;-)
And thanks for taking such cute pictures of our kiddos as sheep! I didn't get to take any pictures that night... I might just steal one...
Haha! When I saw that picture of the Christmas Ice Princess, I immediately thought, "Okay, Vanessa HAS to say something about how unprincessy that girl looks." And then came the moonlighting wrestler comment. You never disappoint me!
Your girls are so squishable. I love seeing pictures of them. And YOU are looking dang good too, I might add! That hair is getting so long and luxurious! Soon I'm going to show up in the middle of the night and braid it all in your sleep.
I'm jealous that you have a nice family picture that's good of everyone. We still haven't captured one of those since Juderonomy has been around.
Thought I'd pop in and say hi. What an eventful day you had. Your posts are so funny. What a gorgeous family you are. Your baby picture with Santa is so cute.
Haha! That has got to be THE creepiest princess I have ever seen. Lol. I'm sure Leah will one day look back on that and be a little disturbed. :) What funness you've been up to. Wish we were together to celebrate the holidays....maybe we'll have to have some sort of vaca together soon.
