Christmas Festivities

Jordan-Kimsey Christmas

Friday evening at Grampy's house:



Our evening included our annual DVD exchange and holiday songs.

Christmas Eve Morning

 Saturday morning we were back at Grampy's to celebrate with Grampy, Dondi, Roy and the boys.  The boys suited up in their superhero capes and masks that Uncle Jim & aunt Diann bought them for Christmas.

Emory wore Deona's childhood SuperGirl cape and Mardi Gras mask.

Just like one of the big kids.

We spent our time watching "Despicable Me", having a yummy leftover meal and playing games with/on Grampy.

The boys' favorite new playspot - the wood box.

Christmas Eve Evening

 Aunt Schneider came over for dinner - black bean tamales, homemade rice and salsa.  oh and wine.

 Later Debbie and Sandy joined in for a little Wii Fun!

 Before going to bed we left a plate of tamales and cookies for Santa.

 then good night hugs and kisses.

Christmas Day

Santa left lots of presents...

...and crumbs.

Then a hearty breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy.

We've had a wonderful Christmas weekend, we hope you have also.

I am missing my family in Austin and am hopeful we will get to see everyone over the New Year's holiday break.  HEY FAMILY!  If you don't already have plans, please come help us bring in the New Year at my parents home in Wimberley.

Here's to a New Year and New Beginnings!

Blessings and hugs to all on Jesus' Birthday!!

We pray you have a safe and wonderful week with your loved ones. 

Merry Christmas!

Meeting Santa

 The boys met Santa at Lincoln Square today.   Everett was really excited to hop on Santa's lap and tell him he wanted a Thomas game.  

 

A highlight to visiting Santa was getting to see a train.  Both boys love trains and were really very happy about our trip to see Santa today.

Happy 90th Birthday Grandma Cross

We made a quick trip to Stillwater, OK on Saturday to celebrate Deona's grandmother's 90th birthday this past weekend.

 Aunt Deanna, Grandma Cross & Debbie

On our way back the same evening, we stopped in Ardmore, OK to view the Trail of lights.  Totally worth the extra hour and a half.

Thanksgiving Day

Our day was filled with lots of food, family, football and fun! Right Emory? LOL!  

 My dad with his four grandsons and great-grandson Maxton.

 

Look how gorgeous my great-nephew, Maxton is...he OBVIOUSLY gets his great looks from his Auntie M. :-D

Decorating for Christmas

Thanks to all who have reminded me that i havent posted on our blog for some time. :-D.

Besides being extremely busy I've come to the conclusion that I am unhappy with the quality/graininess of our photos AND have become really frustrated with Blogger.  For some reason, Blogger feels the need to rotate my photos wasting precious time trying to just get these blasted pictures facing right-side up.  Oh well, even so I'll do my best to post more frequently.

This is our first year decorating for Christmas in our home.  We love it!

Is that a stinker or what?

 Before the star goes up

and before ornaments get plucked off the bottom. 

I'm LOVING Thirty-One Gifts!

Back in July I decided to join Thirty-One because I wanted the Enrollment Kit for $99.  SO MANY BAGS for such a small investment.  What started out as a means to collect a a few bags (and great discounts) has turned into a wonderful career for me.   I am one week shy of promoting to Senior Consultant.  I am in awe with the opportunities, growth, confidence I have gained and LOVE the FABULOUS REWARDS Thirty-One has to offer.  I'm posting this as an opportunity for you too. 

If you've ever dreamed of working from home and setting your own work schedule?

Again, this is a post for all you who may be considering a career change or those who would like supplemental income.
