christmas in july

love christmas.  love summer.  so i am always thrilled when july 25th rolls around and we are forced to celebrate christmas in july.  they really had to twist my arm for this one...as i'm sure you can tell in the below pictures.

but seriously, i love that {mister goodies} leads the way in celebrating christmas in july.  so what if it's ninety degrees outside, i'll put on some christmas socks for some free ice cream.  and what's christmas without putting some change in the salvation army bucket?  and without santa and mrs. claus??!?!?! 

merry christmas!!!

even piper got to enjoy some of the christmas delight...

a few christmas shout-outs:

• {jenn} thanks for leading us to mister goodies, even if you refused to get in the picture with us!
• {eibans}  so sad and disappointed we didn't cross paths last night.  i still blame miker.  you owe me.  merry greemaw!
• {beth}   hope you found some fun christmas cheer in texas, even if that didn't include mister goodies.  miss you!
