NYE in the Big "D"

It's 2010! I can't believe it!  Happy New Year to everyone, I hope you made some much-needed resolutions and will stick to them!  We had the joy of my sister-in-law Jill, and her husband Patrick to stay with us New Year's weekend.  We had a great time hanging out.  We gathered with thousands of people in the middle of downtown Dallas for the count down.  It was sooo cold, but had a great time.  We got a chance to go to the Cotton Bowl at the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium. It was nuts!  I will be a happier person if I never have to hear the Ole Miss chant ever again in my life!  It was rough. :)  New Year's day we walked over to the parade, and I happened to get interviewed for Channel 5!  Ha!  We got to celebrate Jill's belated 23rd birthday as well.  Hope everyone had a blessed New Year!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

We had a wonderful Christmas this year!  We are so blessed to have spent time with so many friends and family.  We got to fly to Huntsville to spend the weekend before Christmas with my family and I got to hold my 6-week old neice, Jovie, for the first time! I hogged her the whole time I was there! Jordan had the cutest play before we left.  She was a tornado in her 2nd grade play about meterology.  It was adorable!  Back to Huntsville, we got to go to the NASA space center and check out all of their cool space-y stuff.  Had a great time! When we got back, Christmas eve we had some flurries of snow!  Jordan and I went up to the roof of the building and tried to play in it.  It was freezing and sooo windy!!  We got to visit Steve's grandparents out in west Texas for Christmas dinner. Then, his parents came and stayed with us for a few days after Christmas.  The holidays went by so fast!  I can't believe it!

    

Pumpkins at the Arboretum!

My posting skills are terrible, as you can tell.  Well, this was back in October at the Dallas Arboretum.  We had a great time with all the pumpkins and the little activites they had throughout the Arboretum.  I took more pictures, but all the pumpkins looked the same! :)
