Pick a Dress, Any Dress

In keeping with this week’s theme of weddings (royal and not-so-royal…actually, RJ and I have decided to consider ourselves a royal family whether people acknowledge it or not), I’m once again taking it to the public to decide which dress I should wear to the next family wedding (see picture above).

Happy Easter!

It’s that time of year again – the time when jellybeans are the only food group; the time when eating your weight in ham is appropriate; the time when you get drunk with your family and fiercely battle for the money egg that Uncle Den hid somewhere in the backyard.
