These are a few of my favorites

So the holiday season has killed the blogging. But now I'm on vacay (yay!) and have time for sharing with you all a few of my favorite pictures from this holiday season. There are a few I still need emailed to me (cough, cough, hint hint family members), but the ones below were mine so I can post them. Enjoy!

I seriously can't believe it, but we had a white Christmas in Texas! Now you would think my little lap dog wouldn't like bad weather, but he loves it. Rain, wind, and apparently snow too. So we had fun playing in the Texas snow.

He liked to rub his face in the snow. I know he's crazy, what can I say?

How he looked after the face rubbing. He's like the abominable snow pup!


The most hilarious Christmas lights I have ever seen. And this house is on a main corner in a nice neighborhood. I see it on my drive home every evening and this always gets me in the holiday spirit.

Eddie heads here as soon as the tree goes up. I don't know why, but this is where he hangs out at my Mom's during the holidays.



So I'm not saying he lives in Arkansas or anything (although we do have a booming retiree population, what better way to blend in?) but I drove behind him one day to work and I swear this man was him. Just look a the license plate. And a red truck? Who else could it be?


And to sum it all up my possible Christmas card for next year? Oh who am I kidding, I'll never be able to take the time to get actual pictures printed on cards for Christmas but here's to dreaming.




I hope you all liked the pics. I might have more to share later, but for now that's all. Later!

They call it Jerry world

Over Thanksgiving weekend my Baylor Bears played football against the Texas Tech Red Raiders at the new Cowboys Stadium. I was super excited to get to see the stadium without shelling out tons of moola for a pro game ticket. And by the way, the Bears really didn't play too badly and everyone stayed until the end of the game, yipee! Below are the pics of the stadium they call Jerry World (for Jerry Jones the owner of the Cowboys and the one who has to foot the bill for this thing, for those of you who have been living under a rock this fall.)
The screen that has caused so much controversy (and a few kickoff issues.) This thing is unbelievably huge, even though we were close to the field I found myself watching this thing because you can see everything on it.


The field, and the Baylor Gold Wave Band getting ready to do an opening number.

One end of the stadium. These windows make it feel like you are outside even though you aren't. It is so cool.


Me and Dad (wearing his green and gold no less)



I really hope they make this game a Thanksgiving weekend tradition because it was a lot of fun. A crowd of over 71,000 doesn't hurt in convincing them to do it again either :). Until next time when I have updates on the long lost and now found vintage Minolta camera and my Christmas decor (I know you all cannot wait.)
