More Christmas



OK, just finally finding the time to post some pictures from Christmas day. The girls will kill me if they see this. They thought they were safe from pictures while we were opening gifts just because I hadn't taken any in two yrs...WRONG! So now you will all see how they really look here at home. No makeup and in their pjs! mean momma, huh? Here's Chels with her new pink Nano





It was the yr of the boot at our house I think...well, for the college girls. Chels was not interested in them at all. Everyone seemed to be suffering from cold feet because UGGs topped the list for them along with new black dress boots. Santa also threw in some fun fuzzy socks in those stockings too. Besides boots it was the usual clothing requests, coats, down vests, one thought she needed a new iPpod, another new bedding, and the lists went on and on ranging from makeup to tanning memberships... prepare to see the pale one not quite so pale in a few months. Here we have Brooke modeling her new Gap Vest so she can immitate the commercial I'm sure. The first thing she did was throw the hood up. Next we've got Val with her UGGS. This girl has major problems with cold feet...problem solved now since she got the real UGGS...we may not see her out of them till summer. And last we've got Britt, always stylin with her new Jessica Simpson Parisa boots


And here we have Brooke and Chels battling it out on Guitar Hero II. It's not been too quiet at our house since Christmas morning.

I found me!

I've been MIA on here because I kind of lost my blog during a mini crash...found myself and finally remembered my password. Dottie, you are right. I do need to get one of those password books like you told me about or simply make myself one.

It's been over two months since I blogged it looks like. I've just been busy with stuff that needs to be done this time of the year. Sure enjoyed having the girls home for Thanksgiving. Here's a picture snapped in the process of filling our plates. David and three of the girls. Britt was at the Cowboys game with her boyfriend, Chris, and his family.... we did have her here the day before and then the weekend after so the family WAS complete for a day or two here and there as they came and went.

As you might notice, Brooke has changed her haircolor again...4th time in a yr I do believe....lol..

I'm looking forward to having the crew home again. Brooke will be home on the 15th. Valerie and Britt won't arrive till closer to Christmas day and then will wander in and out during that month they are out of school. Brooke will stay here and work, Val will have to go to San Marcos and work keeping the twins, and Britt will be heading to Vegas for a few days in January on a girls trip.

I've got the house almost all decorated. It's got to be some sort of record for me to have it done this early. Seems I've just got more Christmas spirit this yr than in the past few..no clue why. I'm enjoying the decorating process and I've even got the shopping almost finished. Gift wrapping is what's on the agenda for today. Maybe I'm going a little over board with Christmas this year since Chels said she was going to be SOOOO sick of Christmas music by Christmas. So, do you think that playing it in the car and every waking hour at home is overkill?
