We took our w2's to .Aaron's mom's last night. Aaron and his mom sat down and, I guess, rushed through them a bit. I was watching .Alyvia in the living room and .Aaron comes storming in all pissed off and says "we owe over 2k to federal."
i was like

because, what! We only owed like $200 last year, and we made *more* last year and didn't have a child! So .Aaron was freaking out, his mom was trying to calm him down, and I passed the baby to him and redid the taxes. I spent like an hour on them too! And he looked up the wrong number on our tax table! And didn't check to see if we qualified for a couple of tax credits (we did). So not only do we
not owe, we're getting back over $2000 because of our beautiful little .Alyvia. I told him he's buying me something pretty.
we're going to take those pictures today at his mom's house! She's going away to a retreat and her house is lovely, so we figured we'd do that instead of trying to add backgrounds and whatnot. I'm so excited!
*does a happy little dance of relief*
