You decorate your home in 'French Provincial' style and casually slip into conversations that you got a great deal on a $7000 dining table. |
Noah, Hannah and Caleb |
Your nails are always done. You think mid-level "luxury" brands like Coach are the height of sophistication. You are a lot of fun to be around, but are best taken in small doses. |
Abigail (Abby) |
You were secretly hoping that Caleb was a girl so you could name her 'Sarah' and continue your trend of using an unnecessary 'H' at the end of names. Alas, Caleb was a boy. You obsessively checked the popular name lists before giving birth. "Oh no! The names I love are getting more popular," you thought. "But I loved them first!" You drive a minivan and your kids are into traveling sports. You take frequent girl's-weekends to places like New York and intend to get crazy, but are in bed by 11:00. |
Katherine
Laura John |
You got a lot of family pressure from both sides about naming your kids. You might've gone for something slightly more edgy or trendy, but didn't want to risk having your MIL roll her eyes at you. That being said, you squidge your nose when people call your baby "Kathy" instead of "Katherine" You think private school is overrated, but still deeply care about what Northern Virginia public school your children will be attending. "They have lacrosse...how bad could it be?" |
Andrea
Christina |
You and your husband met at Boston College, where you were studying education and he was pre-law. You'll be heading back to New England for Christmas, where you and your 4 siblings will drink many craft beers reminiscing about the Christmas your dad got your new sailboat stuck in the marsh, while Emma and Kathleen amuse their baby cousins and Michael and Libby sneak off with some eggnog and your sister Kathy's oldest kids to play drinking games in the pool house. |

*Blythe and Cyril |
Matthew and Sophie |
Elizabeth
Abigail |
You really want to be upper-class, but you are not. You are Midwestern middle class, and there's just no getting around it. |
Ha!! PP, you surely have a gift! Merry Christmas!! Happy holidays!! |
