Remember when...


...you saw me in my pj's with absolutely no make-up on?

...Beau and I kissed 5 million times on camera for your viewing pleasure?

...I bawled my eyes out over one of the most thoughtful gifts I've ever received?

 ...I was that super cheesy wife who videotaped our entire first Christmas?
(I can only imagine the mad videotaping that will go on when we have kids...)

 My sweet, sweet necklace from Katie that reads:
 "M.J. I carry you in my heart"
 M.J. are my dad's initials.

...which would explain why the tears were flowin'.

I hope your Christmas was as memorable and filled with love as mine was.

    I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!! I had so much fun watching it! You guys are so cute.
    1) I too bought my husband socks. He is super picky about his black socks so I would actually be interested to know what kind you got Beau!
    2) We were like Beau in that we both commented..."I don't even remember what that one is...."
    3) He is a much better sport than TJ. He would never let me video him for my blog! haha
    4) I heart your LV! :P
    5) Yes I just watched this at work. With headphones.
    6) I love that Katie got you such a sweet gift. I hope you guys get to meet each other. I can be your videographer that day...hehehe :) Location suggestion--Excellence Playa Mujeres. Just sayin!
    XOXOXO!!!
