Mandy and Jace

Well Christmas has come and gone again and I have to say it was pretty great. We had Christmas at my parents and also at Lloyd and Teresa’s. Then Christmas evening Jace and I had Christmas by ourselves. We got out our new fine china and cooked steaks, mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. (I can’t have a meal without it) We were very disappointed that we didn’t make it to Georgia this year but we will definitely go next year. We got lots of gifts. Jace got me a necklace from Tiffany and Co. and I got him several different things including pajamas, a salt cellar and a lazer thermometer. I think everything in the house has had its temperature taken including poor Marilyn. I don’t think she enjoyed the little red lazer light. He also got an x box 360 that doesn’t ever get turned off. He is an addict. (The first step is admitting it, baby!) I got lots of clothes and a new pair of jeans that I needed badly. There are so many pictures I couldn’t put them all on this site but there are lots more on Flickr. So just click on any of the photos and it will take you to many more. Soon I will put up the photos from new years, so get ready. They are pretty funny.

If anyone knows me at all they know that I love Christmas time. I love the lights and the decorations and everything about it. Well, I finally was able to get our Christmas decorations up this year and through a couple of injuries and trips to Home Depot I think I am almost done. They look great. We got the Christmas Tree up and we decorated our front porch. If I can keep Marilyn out of the tree I will be doing good. She just sits and looks at it longingly ready to jump in the middle of it. The only think stopping her is us yelling at her, “DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT”. I think when we leave she plays with it because I found a ornament in the bathroom, but she hasn’t done too bad so far.

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. It snowed! And not like the little flurries that we normally get in west Texas, we got 4 inches. It was so cool. We went to my parents house and cooked lunch. Jace cooked the Turkey this year and it was great. He only got hurt once but he is going to have to tell you that story. It involved the turkey and the electric knife. That’s all I’m saying. After a fantastic lunch everyone watched tv and I took a nap. Then that evening everyone played bowling and Guitar Hero on the Wii. We had tons of fun relaxing and eating. What day could be better?
