Thanks for posting.. I missed a few of these. 🙂
These are some good ones!
Thanks for the shout-out, Jess! Have a wonderful Christmas!
Wendy
Merry Christmas to you and your family Wendy!
Oh my God, Jess!! You gave me double linky love?? What a great Monday present…thank you!
Those baby videos kill me every time I watch them. I hope your people enjoy them as much as I do. 🙂
I’d seen the ripping paper baby, but not the dancing one. Too funny!
Hey, Jess! Thanks for the link love. 🙂 I feel like we haven’t talked in forever. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and get your gifts wrapped! I need to do that….
I know, I’ve been terrible about getting to everybody’s blog I’d like to. When the ho ho horror of the holidays is over, I won’t be working so many hours. Then I’ll get back to normal. Have a happy Christmas!
Great mash-up, Jess! There are so many awesome blogs out there! It’s hard to get to all of them. That’s why it’s wonderful to mash-ups like yours. Thanks! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Marcia! Looking forward to our Life List milestone party.
Forget Aunt Marge. I want some spandex shorts for myself!!
Um, we’ll just see what Tara says about that.
