Jessica Simpson in Raleigh/Weekend

So, we made a quick trip to Raleigh this weekend. Bo ran in a 5K Saturday morning and we left after that. It was the only weekend we were able to do some Christmas shopping with Bo's family. So, the girls took Emma and Gibby to Crabtree mall. While we were there Bo calls and says that Jessica and Ashlee Simpson were there. I was like, "okay, sure." But, the very next store we were headed to was Belk and people were everywhere. Then, we saw photographers around her promotions. We found out that they were upstairs and if you spent $50 of her products then you could go upstairs and meet them. I hopped on it like white on rice, since she has always been one of my favorites since college. I can easily remember me and Kristin Allan driving around campus singing her CD to to the top of our lungs! So, of course I waited 40 minutes in line to have a one minute conversation with her. Emma actually talked to them more than me or Gibby. They asked Emma all kinds of questions and Ashlee talked about her little boy. They gave us all individual autographed pictures with our names on them. We even got a Jessica Simpson makeup bag with her perfume and some rhinestone earphones as a free gift. I was pretty happy - never expected that to happen! We couldn't pose for pictures with them, so Mary got these pictures of us just talking to them.

Later that night we went to get some pizza with the boys, Hannah and Owen. Then, we went to get some yummy doughnuts! It was a quick, busy weekend, but there is never a dull moment with all of us together!
