Well, that was weird.

So last week, after Emily posted her brilliant “Merry Christmas” post, she said to me, “What do you think about Mommin’ It Up taking the week off?” I was all, “sounds good to me”! We’ve never really done that before, but who doesn’t want a break over the holidays?

I gotta admit, it was nice to just chillax.

But now I’m all, “OHEMGEESOMUCHHAPPENEDONTHEBREAKANDWHATDOIEVENBLOGABOUT?”

So you might have to bear with us as we get back into the swing of things, and I hope you will! Because today we had one of the most epic text message conversations EVER, and if I can figure out how to translate it so that it’s expletive-free, it’s going to make a GREAT post. Right, Emily 
“potty mouth” Berry?

Here are a few photographic highlights of our break from my family:

We had an awesome Christmas and holiday break!

So, now it’s a new year. Lucky 13, y’all! I don’t really make New Year’s Resolutions, do you? I’d love to hear some in the comments – maybe you’ll inspire me!

  2. Missed you guys! Thanks for sharing the pictures!

    I’m glad that Luke Skywalker armed all the ladies. Even ladies need a lightsaber now and then.

    1. I’m looking for an appropriately hilarious substitute word, cousin, that I can use and still capture the spirit of your enraged text messages. GIVE ME SOME #$%^! time!

  6. How about a resolution to take a week off next year too??? 😉 and you forgot you got
    To see my impressive gigantic Christmas tree 🙂 and eat my gluten free made just for you food!

    Love the Luke arming the ladies picture! Awesomeness runs in your family 🙂

  7. My New Years resolution is to work on some patience. My 4 year old wears me down daily. And I now have another one on the way. It’s taken us a long time to decide on a second. So, now I will need way more patience!

  8. Love love love all the LEGO Friends stuff! My daughter wants to collect it all! Honestly, this mama totally wants it for herself too! 🙂

  9. I love a good New Year’s resolution! 🙂 Mine is to lose 20 pounds by April. And I’m well on my way. A great start to a new year!
