i know Lizzie, but sometimes I get the feeling of yikes I’m getting old. i’m not prepared for anything either. i’ve started to think about what to get my family, but I have zero ideas. i have nothing planned for my birthday either! i need to get on it..

But you’re not getting old! You’re still very much on the young and fun side of things. Almost jealous of you, but then again thirty-three isn’t young either. Shopping for the holidays is always the worst. I don’t know why we put so much pressure on ourselves to get the perfect gifts. Throw a party, easy enough.

that is true. you know me too well. oooh, he does love new toys. other than his good ol’ lion, his favorite toy is just whatever the newest one is. you might become his new favorite person. are you sure? you’re the best. i promise to keep the scaring to the bare minimum. the bare minimum is definitely not zero though.

I do. I know you almost too well, it’s scary. Clearly we’ve spent way too much time together over the years. Well a lion it is then. Good to know I’ve got this knowledge in my back pocket for anytime I need to apologize to Dodger. I’m sure, so long as you keep the scaring to a minimum. I know, I know it’s not. But at least I can prepared for this.

so in my opinion it’s the holiday season, and i can’t wait to put up all of my decorations…after i get my other household necessities taken care of first. oh and, make sure my dogs don’t destroy the place right away. anyways hi, i’m ariana. big dog and christmas lover. @mountmeadow

Christmas time is the best time in my opinion. Nothing beats all the those lights and the warm cozy feel of a fire. I’m just glad to be living in a place where that fireplace is going to be coming in handy this year. Welcome to town, Ariana! I’m Lizzie and a fellow a Christmas lover. I hope you’re settling into town okay!

so i went down to LA to film my new music video and it was so much fun! but now i’m glad to be back. i’m also a little spooked that thanksgiving is so close. which means it’s close to my birthday, which means it’s almost christmas. is this what happens when you get old, everything just..bunches together?! @mountmeadow​

Hailee, my love, you are far from old. It is a little crazy to think of how close Thanksgiving is. It’s nearly a week away and I still need to buy all the ingredients for all the pies and stuff I need to make. I’m definitely not prepared this year. What do you usually do for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and your birthday?

I’ll do my best to reign it in. Now that halloween is over, i think you’re safe, for now. I think that should win him back over as long as you throw the ball a couple times too when you come over. Dinner next week sounds perfect! Can we bring anything? Be careful what you wish for, there’s no getting rid of me now.

I don’t know if I believe you. You’ll find ways to spook easier now that we’re not suspecting a thing. I can do that, I’ll even buy him a new one to throw so he associates me as the fun Aunt who brings him new toys. Oh no, just bring yourselves and I’ll take care of the menu. As much as I hate it when you scare me, I’m happy to have you here in this town with me forever.

“Mommy brain is definitely messing me up. I woke up today so excited that I was going to see the final season of a tv show I’ve been dying to see as the first seasons I ended up watching it really quick. So I woke up today and looked everywhere on Netflix. Turns out, the realease is until tomorrow. I was so excited that I even got snacks, I was really prepared” @mountmeadow

I hate when that happens. I don’t even have mom brain to blame on that one. What show was it? I feel like I need to tune in now and watch it with you, I’ll even make the snacks this time.

We really do! Well, what are you doing tomorrow? You want me to come over? I can bring some leftover Halloween candy and make you some soup as it’s soup season.

I’m free tomorrow, you should most definitely come over. I was fully prepared to cook but if you’re making soup, I’ll make sides that go with said soup. What kind of Halloween candy are we talking here?

Annie couldn’t help but laugh as Jack practically dived into a pile of leaves “You big dope” She chuckled as the pooch then began rolling too. She was about to call him over when she saw someone she knew “hi, how are you” She Smiled. Jack padded over and sat next to Annie. @mountmeadow

i’m glad you’re okay. if you need to lay on a fuzzy cat pile, i have three of them. i’m so excited! i can’t believe it’s already time for it to be thrown in the world.

Even if I’m okay, I’m sure I could use a fuzzy cat pile now and then. You just let me know when I can come get cat cuddles and I’ll be there. I can’t believe it either! I’m just anxiously counting down the day right now so I can hear all this magic for myself.

Sorry we didn’t get to see you last night. Annabelle got a bit overwhelmed so we headed home early. We’re going out for sweet treats now though if you’d like to join us? She said she feels bad about not be able to see you.

If that’s the case apologies on my end are much more in order since I missed knocking at your door and introducing ourselves to the neighborhood like that couple you just know is going to terrorize the neighborhood always do at the beginning of the movie. Haha. ~ You’re more than forgiven if I can be too! That sounds so fun, he better have said yes or else. ~ I can even get there early if you need a hand in the kitchen or anything. Please. Chris is a giant baby, as much as he loves caring people he’s a puddle in even the tamest of haunted houses. My hand still hurts from him crushing it walking through the last one, so of course you have to see this. Hahaha.

Oh no, you never have to apologize for that. I’m sure you were extremely busy getting settled in and planning ways to terrorize the neighborhood. Just don’t let me down when you do start terrorizing everyone. He hasn’t said either way yet, but I’m considering your word gold and will be following you around forever. Oh, now this I gotta see. Can’t believe I’ve known him for nearly ten years and have never thought to go to haunted houses with him. We’ll go get drinks after too! Make a whole night of it.

He smiled back as he took the coffee. His friends knew Tobey was quite simple-cream and coffee was all he required. Caffeine was his only addiction. He smiled as he saw Lizzie’s hoodie. “That’s so cute,” he laughed. “I need to get me one of those to get into the Halloween spirit. And you’re officially my new favorite person,” he said, indicating his gratefulness for the coffee. They entered the store and it was quiet. The bell above them jingled and Tobey told the associate who came over what they were looking for. He was on the shorter side so shopping for suits could be hard, but it wouldn’t be terrible. “I don’t think a tuxedo, right? I’m not the one getting married,” he told Liz with a slight chuckle. If Tobey knew anything, you didn’t upstage the bride and groom.
