Carols and Coffee

Every year Ramsey's school puts on a little (tiny) Christmas program for the parents. This year Ramsey once again sang her little heart out! So cute!!

On a totally random note....I seriously think I am shrinking....have I always been a full head shorter than Dustin? I am wearing heels from now on!

"I'm bleeding, dammit"

That is EXACTLY what Ramsey said last night when Dustin got a little too close to the skin when cutting her toenails.




Looks like I know what my New Year's resolution will be!

Hopefully Trevor didn't hear! :)

Ugly Christmas Sweater Party

I will let the picture and the sweaters speak for themselves.

In one word: AWESOME!

We had a fabulous time with Rob and Kay and we are already planning on what to wear next year! BTW, Kay made our hair bows and I think they truly complete the outfit!

Trevor

He is our "Elf on the Shelf" and I love him to pieces. Ramsey is amazed that he "flies" away to Santa every night and can't wait to see where his is the next morning. Plus, if she acts up or whines I just mention the word "Trevor" and she straightens right up.

He has sat on the J, the O and the Y, on top of the fridge, in the tree and just about everywhere else in our kitchen/living room. We are taking him to Round Rock with us this weekend so she can wake up to him there too!

I LOVE experiencing the magic of Christmas through Ramsey's eyes!!

I think there should be a "Birthday Buddy", "Easter Bunny on a Shelf", "Turkey Tom" etc......one for every holiday. She won't listen to me but she sure wants to make Trevor happy!!!

P.S. If you don't have an Elf on the Shelf and your kid is around 3-4 years old...I would HIGHLY recommend it!

P.S.S. Please ignore our stocking free mantle. I am terrified that Bryson will pull them down on top of his head so they are in a closet until Christmas Eve!

have you heard?????

• Lady Antebellum's rendition of "Baby, it's cold outside"? If not, it is amazing! LOVE IT! If so, do you love it too??
• Tech is going to the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio on January 2nd....which means Dustin and I are spending one night is SA without the kids, eating Jacala's and watching Tech win (hopefully) a Bowl game!!! BTW, if you are EVER in the SA area, you have. got. to. eat. at. Jacala's.....simply amazing!
• the 18mo-3 year old stage is so difficult sometimes. a very good birth control indeed.
• about Tiger? OVER IT. The press should really just let his family sort it all out without all of the speculation, blame, rumors, etc.
• Dustin got his new work car. The Subaru Legacy is a cute little car. Unfortunately, Dustin hit a curb yesterday and put a dent in the front bumper....it took all of 4 days for him to trash it out!

That's all I have heard lately.....

Christmas, toddler style.

One decapitated Wise Man and a sheep with 2 legs.

Poor baby Jesus, he must be creeped out by his guests from afar.
(It's a good thing he doesn't judge!!!!)


Needless to say, the nativity scene has been moved to higher grounds.
Maybe next year I can decorate how I really want to??

I "FELL" in love

with the Pioneer Woman.

I always knew that I loved her blog, her cooking, her photography, her dog, her kids, her husbands forearms, etc. But now I know that I love HER.

Granted I only talked to her 1 minute but I felt like she actually listened to my lame story about falling on my butt in the middle of Wal-mart.....which is another post in itself. She even called out to me to "take some add-viel" when I got home. LOVE HER!

If you don't have the cookbook, ask for it for Christmas! I promise you won't be disappointed!
