The Hipster Ex-Wife will be here in about four hours.

Between the impending arrivals of her and of Santa, the Hipster Kids are about to freaking EXPLODE. These are the craziest, most hyper children on the planet.

The party's centerpiece was opening the five-bottle "holiday pack" of Jones Soda, including their Turkey & Gravy Soda and Brussel Sprouts Soda. I don't...
