« Merry Christmas, Baby, Maybe | Main | Pretend That Christmas Was Not Like, 17 Months Ago For a Minute »

30

December 27, 2007

= Me! Yay!

I have so much to talk about (no, I don't know if I'm pregnant yet, and no, I don't feel pregnant yet, which means I feel comfortable knocking back my just-in-case-long-shot-in-hell prenatal vitamin with a glass of wine)...actually, I don't really have much to talk about after all.

So, here! The thing I was supposed to post on Christmas but didn't because of the aforementioned wine.

Noahsanta2007

(No, I don't know why I'm posting random photos of random gigantic little boys either. I mean, who IS that KID?)

Noah's favorite Christmas gift was a giant plastic bank shaped like a giant plastic crayon. It cost $4.99 and he sleeps with it every night. Ohkaaaaay.

They always love the cheap toys. At least he's not sleeping with an empty box or the styrofoam inserts.

He's HUGE! And not scared of Santa! Impressive.

My child's favorite gift was a fake ice cream cone. She's strange.

Oh! And happy 30th! (duh.)

Posted by: Zoot | December 27, 2007 at 01:11 PM

Happy 30th!

and wow, your mall doesn't eff around, that is a really authentic Santa that strange unidentifiable boy is sitting with.

Posted by: Sadie | December 27, 2007 at 01:16 PM

My 2 year old boy screamed holy hell and would not go anywhere near Santa. Your strange, unidentifiable little boy sure is cute! Happy 30th and sending warm, squiggly happy good luck thoughts your way re: baby making! LOL

Happy birthday, Amy!

Dude that kid ate your baby.

Posted by: Maria | December 27, 2007 at 01:26 PM

Happy Birthday! I love Noah's shoes. And that is one very authentic-looking Santa.

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Posted by: Assertagirl | December 27, 2007 at 01:28 PM

Happy 30th, Amy! And very cute pic.

Posted by: Jomama | December 27, 2007 at 01:29 PM

Happy happy 30th, Amy.

(I won't mention how it's all downhill from here.)

Seriously, why the pic of the jolly blonde giant? Cuz no way is that our sweet lovable LITTLE Noah.

Posted by: Missie | December 27, 2007 at 01:29 PM

That's an adorable picture of Noah! It's so weird following someone's life without actually knowing them; I guess it's like reality TV :)
Happy b-day and I hope you are pregnant.

Posted by: Olga | December 27, 2007 at 01:31 PM

Happy birthday, Amy! Welcome to 30.

Posted by: Miss W | December 27, 2007 at 01:32 PM

Happy Birthday!!!

Posted by: Cassandra | December 27, 2007 at 01:34 PM

That is one of the best kid with Santa pics I have ever seen. So joyous! Even if it is a large, unidentifiable, definitely-NOT-Noah, child.

And? Happy 30. If it makes you feel any better, my mom and grandma both claim that their 30s were the best years ever.

Posted by: Anna | December 27, 2007 at 01:37 PM

Happy Birthday! And....happy birth day *fingers crossed*

Posted by: BeTee | December 27, 2007 at 01:39 PM

Happy 30th! I hear 30s are the new 20s.

And wow, that little giant is adorable. Great picture.

Posted by: CLK | December 27, 2007 at 01:40 PM

Happy Birthday! Thirties kick twenties skinny little ass! When I was twenty, I thought AwesomeThirty was in the same category as 'Tooth Fairy' and 'Jake Gyllenhaal's girlfriend'. But it is actually true - thirties are awesomer.

Posted by: anne nahm | December 27, 2007 at 01:53 PM

Happy Birthday Amy!

You're really great.. you know that?

Posted by: Sarah | December 27, 2007 at 01:53 PM

Oh, I LOVE that picture! How cute! And Happy 30th, Amy! Hope you have a great day celebrating you!

Posted by: Becca Parra | December 27, 2007 at 01:55 PM

Happy Birthday! Great photo of Santa and Noah. Made me smile.

Posted by: cedarwaxwing | December 27, 2007 at 01:57 PM

He looks so adorable in that picture!
The favorite gift of my one and a half year old was a harmonica from the $1 bin at Michaels.
Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Posted by: Pamela | December 27, 2007 at 02:00 PM

Happy 30th birthday! When did his legs get sooo long?

Posted by: Katie | December 27, 2007 at 02:03 PM

Hey it's my birthday too! Doesn't it suck two days after Christmas?

Anyway... Happy Birthday!

Posted by: Sarah | December 27, 2007 at 02:03 PM

Happy 30th! My "kid" sis is no longer a kid!(pan in on single tear in the right eye, a well manicured and properly moisturised hand holding a monagrammed, hand embroidered hankie dabbing the tear away without smearing make up or running mascara)...

Posted by: Cee | December 27, 2007 at 02:04 PM

I dunno, man. That Santa is freaking out my shit. He's just too too. If you know what I mean. I'd run screaming from him, if I were Noah.

Oh, and hippo birdie two ewes, Amy.

Posted by: Candy | December 27, 2007 at 02:05 PM

I find it amusing that he smiles on Santa's lap but cries at the thought of sitting in a plastic chair. You must find it incredibly frustrating. He is so freakin' adorable!

Posted by: divrchk | December 27, 2007 at 02:06 PM

He is one of the few kids that I've ever seen happily smiling in Santa's lap. That is such an adorable picture.

Posted by: thethinker | December 27, 2007 at 02:08 PM

From one Amy Beth to another, Happy 30th Birthday!

And your son, just too cute. My son received a crayon bank for his 4th birthday last year and he tried writing on the walls with it, at least yours is less destructive!! :-)

Posted by: Amy | December 27, 2007 at 02:13 PM

Happy Birthday!

Posted by: hello insomnia | December 27, 2007 at 02:18 PM

It's always the dumb stuff. I'm glad I didn't throw down the $250 for that effing butterscotch pony, because my kid's favorite gift this year turned out to be glow in the dark silly putty.

Happy Birthday!!!

Posted by: Kate | December 27, 2007 at 02:23 PM

That is a really sweet picture of Noah...but I have to say it...Santa's left hand is well, placed in a "different" place...

Posted by: Sarah | December 27, 2007 at 02:24 PM

oh and of course, Happy Birthday, silly me!

Posted by: Sarah | December 27, 2007 at 02:26 PM

Happy Birthday!!

And what a great Santa photo!

Posted by: Nicole P. | December 27, 2007 at 02:27 PM

Happy 30th birthday! Gosh he's a stylish kid.

Posted by: She Likes Purple | December 27, 2007 at 02:28 PM

Happy Big Three Oh!

I turned 30 in September and it wasn't that bad.

Oh, and any time you want to show us the REAL Noah, we'd be all for it. No more big kid impostors. Albeit this one is quite adorable.

Posted by: Kristabella | December 27, 2007 at 02:54 PM

Happy 30th. Oy, isn't it just a kick in the pants? I'm 33 now - shush - and still in denial.

Posted by: mom2werogers | December 27, 2007 at 02:57 PM

Happy 30th!

That is a fantastic picture! My son was a no-go in the sitting on Santa's lap photo quest. Maybe next year.

Posted by: Jennifer | December 27, 2007 at 03:08 PM

Amy, that is awesome! That's the same Noah who is afraid to sit on chairs at therapy but he sat on a strange Santa's lap! And SMILED! Now there's a great Christmas gift right there :)

Posted by: Elizabeth | December 27, 2007 at 03:16 PM

I'm going to sound like a stalker.. I know where you visit Santa. My neice and Nephew love him.. He's been there for 6-7 years.. never a bad picture..

..putting away the binoculars..

Posted by: Kim | December 27, 2007 at 03:29 PM

happy birthday, amy! i hope it's a wonderful year! (and may there be lots of cake.)

Posted by: jami | December 27, 2007 at 03:42 PM

Happy 30th!!!!!!

Posted by: Tam. | December 27, 2007 at 04:23 PM

Happy 30th! I think that random big boy is the only kid I know who isn't deathly afraid of that bearded bad dresser.

Posted by: Aimee | December 27, 2007 at 04:56 PM

30?!? Oh, sweet Jesus. You are YOUNG! Happy birthday, Amy! Glad Noah liked Santa.

Posted by: Ginny | December 27, 2007 at 05:40 PM

Happy birthday! I hope it's fun and that you get to eat someplace FAB-U-LOUS! :)

Posted by: Marianne | December 27, 2007 at 05:52 PM

Happy 30th!
Random cheap gifts are STILL sometimes my favorites, and I'm 34. May that joy never go away!

Happy Birthday .... yaaaahhhhhh (said in the special ed voice from crank yankers)]
PS That Santa is definitely the best and has Noah EVER taken a not the most adorable picture ever?!

Posted by: Lisa | December 27, 2007 at 06:14 PM

PPS I bad mouthed you at work yesterday and said "God when is she going to post Noah's christmas morning pics???

Posted by: Lisa | December 27, 2007 at 06:15 PM

Happy Birthday Amalah!!
Noah is SO BIG!!! and SO CUTE!!!

Posted by: Gabby | December 27, 2007 at 06:26 PM

Happy 30th! I agree with everyone else, the 30's are great!

And I totally understand the "WTH" on Noah being so big! My 2.5 year old is bigger than the 4 year olds at preschool! He wears 4T and 5T clothes and size 10 toddler shoes! Where did my little boy go?!?!?! Oh well, maybe my guy and Noah will end up being sports stars or something, keeping their mommy's happy in retirement with lots of wine!

Posted by: Katie | December 27, 2007 at 06:58 PM

happy birthday Amy

Posted by: Rebecca | December 27, 2007 at 07:00 PM

Happy 30, Amy!
