Kitzie's Birthday!

Kitzie decided to come down to visit for her 60th birthday, which was on the 27th, and we've been having a fun week with her here! Even if the temperatures are tropical.

She's the only one who can appreciate the warm weather! At least someone is enjoying it!

Makes me miss all my family up north though!

Well, that's a wrap for 2015! And hey, it's been a year since I started the blog. I'm surprised I kept up with it! See you in 2016!!

XOXO, Ness

My Top 10 Songs of 2015

My top 10 songs of 2015. 10? LOL. Come on. You all know I couldn't narrow it down to 10. I tried. And failed.

My top 10 15 songs of 2015.

This year was a lot harder than last year! There weren't a lot of songs that stood out in my mind, but I powered through!


Honorable Mentions:
Budapest - George Ezra
New Americana - Halsey (Badlands is amazing, if anyone was wondering)
Uptown Funk feat. Bruno Mars - Mark Ronson*

*I hated this song. Still do! The only reason it even made it as an honorable mention was because  Mat Kearney covered it, BUT everyone else seemed to love it... This is all my opinion, but damnit peer pressure!



15. See You Again feat. Charlie Puth - Wiz Kalifa

14. Honey, I'm Good - Andy Grammer
I joined the party late on this one, but I love Andy Grammer!

13. Jealous - Nick Jonas
So... Nick Jonas got hot...

12. Could Have Been Me - The Struts

11. Renegades - X Ambassadors
It's possible this was a tiny little bit overplayed... Plus the Jeep commercial that ran constantly.

10. Love Me Like You Do - Ellie Goulding
Ellie is my homegirl.

9. Can't Feel My Face - The Weeknd
I didn't like this one at first, but it definitely grew on me.

8. Bright - Echosmith

7. Like I'm Gonna Lose You feat. John Legend - Meghan Trainor

6. Want to Want Me - Jason Derulo
I love Jason Derulo. Not sure why, but I just love him.

5. Earned It - The Weeknd
This song was on repeat so many times when I was commuting to Athens my last semester! And I never got tired of it!

4. Riptide - Vance Joy

3. Fight Song - Rachel Platten
Thanks to the Ford commercial...

2. Hello - Adele
If you don't like Hello, you're wrong.

And the winner is..................







1. Shut Up and Dance - WALK THE MOON
SUCH a catchy tune!

XOXO, Ness

Virtual Christmas Card

Merry (almost) Christmas! Sending everyone a virtual Christmas card so no one is left out!

We decided to have a photo shoot before Sunday dinner one week... Yikes. Can I just say that being the photographer and being in the photos at the same time is really hard!

But we got a few good ones!

That's what you get when you stick your tongue out and it's the only clear picture.... 

Lil Howie's First Birthday!

Here's the video of Howie's first birthday party!

I think event videography could be fun!

Birthday boy was tired!

That lip! She's precious!

"Mom, Dad. Could you, uh, please get me outta here? Thanks."

Adorable!!!

I think these were the best pictures I took all day!

He did not want to get out!

XOXO, Ness
