New Year's!

So I had big plans to go to Tulsa and run a 5K on New Year's but Brian decided we should stay home. He also decided this at the last minute so we called some of our friends and asked if they wanted to come over and ring in the new year with us. It turned out to be a really fun night!

Alan brought over his Xbox with the Kinect dance game and Jimmy was dancing. This game was so much fun! I think we are going to have to get one.

Cheers!

The food!


I decided to try the dancing. My legs were a little sore this morning.


The boys even got in on the dancing action.

Christmas 2010

This year we were all sick before Christmas so I was a little worried that we wouldn't make it home. Brian and I were better before we had to leave but Breckin seemed to get worse when we got there. He rested most of Christmas day but seemed to take a turn for the better that evening. I was so thankful. We started out in Pryor at my parents house with my mom's side of the family.

My sweet boys!


My Dad with my nephew Myles. I just love this face. I promised my sister I wouldn't post it on Facebook but she didn't make me promise about the blog!


My cousin Angie and her youngest Chayton


My cousin Angie's older three Chelsea, Cooper and Preslea



My Uncle Gary and Aunt Janine with their son Travis and grandson Samuel


My sister and my Nanny



My sister bought us all matching pajamas. I don't think we have worn anything matching since the time our mom put us all in candy cane striped dresses with a painted picture of a fireplace on them. They also had bells on the shoulders. They were pretty sweet!

Breckin got Transformers and loves them!



Grammy's boys...Breckin wanted to play instead of take a picture.



Kyson got a harmonica...Santa must have thought I was a bad girl to punish me like that.



After we opened presents and Christmas morning and had the best biscuits and gravy ever (my dad is a great cook) we left for Tulsa to spend Christmas with Brian's family.

Breckin with his new OU sweatshirt...at least he was happy about that.

I think Christmas wore him out. He was so cute sleeping with his Thidwick that I had to take a picture. Hope you all had a great Christmas and were able to spend it with family.

My 30-something Birthday Party

My friends were kind enough to throw me a 30-something birthday party this year. We had SO much fun! We started with dinner at Bonefish which is my absolute favorite place to eat. If you have never had Bang Bang shrimp before I highly recommend it! After dinner we went to McB's for drinks and dancing. We had such a great time dancing I think my legs were sore the next day! I have the best friends ever!

Christmas in Branson

Every year we head up to Branson to see the lights at Silver Dollar City. I LOVE it there. We have been going since before the kids were born and now it is fun to take them to see it. My parents went with us and my Dad really wanted to take the boys on the Showboat Branson Belle so that was the first thing we did when we got to town.

The next day we headed out to Silver Dollar City to enjoy the lights and the great Christmas atmosphere.








It was such a great family trip. I would post pics in here of my parents but I am still afraid of my mom and she would probably kill me if I did that.
