    Christmas Vacation Highlight Reel

    …so far…

    –finally met B&D’s baby. I don’t like babies because I don’t find them very amusing, but she was not too bad. Mainly we thought of stupid ways to pose her (my brilliant idea was to put her in a flower pot like a cheesy anne geddes portrait–but only bc her outfit made her look like a snow pea) and then took like 10 billion pictures.

Honestly, it’s not worth it to me.” Which made him feel really bad. I think he told Devil wears Prada, because she kept sending me emails about how much she missed me and how she hopes me and my family are doing ok. Weird. Continue Reading
