On Saturday our neighbors, the Skarins, came over for dinner. They're moving to Long Island right after Christmas and it was one last chance to get together before the holidays. Although we only just met them this summer when John introduced himself to my mom and I, I realized when I met his wife that she was the girl I wanted to stalk and beg to be my friend while I was on maternity leave. I used to see her pushing Conner around in his stroller and never got up the nerve to talk to her or offer to buy her a Starbucks or a glass of wine(sounds like dating, right?!). Anyway, the minute Bridget met them for the first time, she had to kiss every single one of them goodbye. Since she's a pretty good judge of character, Elmo's included, I figure we let them stick around.
