CHRiSTMAS RECAP AND THE NEW YEAR!

Wow, we have been busy! I feel like we haven't relaxed in weeks but it's all been worth it! I wanted to get my Christmas recap in before New Year's so I made time to blog so here it goes.

Christmas Eve

Instead of waking up to snow and a beautiful white Christmas we woke up to this!
Yes, this is the road we have to use to get to the main road and it was flooded everywhere! I was soo scared driving through it I was glad it was mainly gone by the time we got back!

We headed to Heath's Grandparents house that afternoon for Christmas Eve lunch. It was nice to see everyone and get to visit with everyone! After lunch we headed over to his parents for Christmas! We opened presents and played a really fun game! I even won one game. It was a really fun time!

Christmas Day

Christmas morning we woke up and headed to my parents house for Christmas! We had Christmas breakfast and then opened our gifts.

Holli didn't get her snuggie they didn't have her size, but she did get an adorable sweater from her cousin Thumper!

After Christmas with my parents we headed to do Christmas with my Great Aunt's and Uncle's. We ate Christmas lunch and played dirty santa!

Then we had about a two hour break before we had to be at my Aunt and Uncle's house to do Christmas. We draw names and buy gifts for each other! We ate Christmas dinner there and then exchanged gifts.

Me and Mya!

After that we headed back to my parents house to play a game.
Holli fell asleep she was give out from a busy day!

After we finished the game we finally made our way back home! It was a good Christmas and I'm glad we got to spend it with our family!


NEW YEAR

I am sad to see this year go! We have had lot's of great things happen this year. Number one being getting married. As much as I hate to see this year go I am excited about seeing what happens in the New Year! I am not making any resolutions this year, because I'm just not one for making resolutions! I just don't really see the point and half the time no one sticks to them anyway! I hope you all have a great New Year and if you are making resolutions I hope you stick to them!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Seeing as I probably won't have time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas tomorrow! I wanted to be sure I told you tonight! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with your families and remember the real meaning we celebrate Christmas.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Heath and Morgan

Our First Christmas Card

I am soo excited to spend our first MARRIED Christmas together this year! I can't believe that Christmas is just 4 days away! So this year we get to do our first Christmas card! It took me forever to decide what I wanted and if I liked the picture I used, but I finally got it done and here it is:

Sorry the picture isn't the best quality it's hard to take a picture of it! I hope you like it though and if your family be expecting one!

WARNING: Long Post Ahead!

Unfortunately I have to start off with sad news! Actress Brittany Murphey has died at 32! It is a sad day for all of her family and friends and the ones that loved watching her act! I remember watching Brittany in Clueless, Uptown Girls, and her small role on the TV show Sister Sister! I pray for all of her friends and family during this difficult time.

Now on to a happier note, Friday night Heath and I along with my parents went to look at Christmas lights! We ate at a delicious BBQ place and then headed to the lights! It was a lot of fun looking at the pretty lights. We started at the drive thru light display and ended up at the state capitol!

The manger at the State Capitol!

Saturday night we went to a family Christmas party. We play the white elephant exchange and all of the kids draw each others name! It was a lot of fun spending time with family! I ended up coming away with a dvd holder and some gloves! Heath ended up with some towels(ha)!

He hates pictures!

Sunday I sang in our church Christmas cantata and enjoyed celebrating my Aunt and my cousin's birthday that afternoon! For the evening service the children put on their Christmas play and it was very cute! All in all it was a busy but GREAT weekend! Now I have to relax till Wednesday when more Christmas festivities start :)

Snuggie-less

Here is my sweet baby girl Holli! As you can see she doesn't have much hair so she gets cold on these chilly mornings and nights. Holli has a t-shirt she wears now that says naughty and nice....., but thats a Christmas shirt. Whatever will she do after Christmas? Her Razorback shirt is too big now that she had her hair cut sooo for Christmas Holli would like this:

Yep, that's right a snuggie! I mean why wouldn't she want one they are soo instyle now and she just shakes and shivers in the early mornings! So the snuggie is perfect for her! HMMMM...... maybe while I'm finishing my Christmas shopping tomorrow Holli will get one of these snuggies for Christmas from Santa! Guess she will have to wait till Christmas to find out!!

I will post our Christmas card when I get them in!! Hope you liked them!

LET IT SNOW/CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES

First of all I would like to thank a sweet bloggy friend, Amy over at Just Add Walter for helping me put SNOW on my blog! Did you notice it? Look towards the top and the sides and you will see WHITE SNOW!! So Thanks Amy for your help!

This past weekend was kind of a slow weekend actually! Friday and Saturday night we stayed home and watched movies. Sunday we had a HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS party in the Sunday School class I help teach! They are soo cute we decorated small birthday cakes ( cupcakes), read the real story of Christmas, read the legend of the Candy Cane, and sang Happy Birthday to Jesus! They each had Happy Birthday party hats and those little Happy Birthday blowers! Of course they went away with birthday goodie bags mostly filled with tons of candy! We also gave out our class christmas presents then too! I gave them a candy cane I had made to look like a reindeer and some hershey kisses along with the legend of the candy cane story! I can't leave out that I also got a present!! I got the most adorable snowman coffee cup filled with tons of candy canes! It was really nice! They all seemed to have a GREAT time and they were just adorable celebrating Jesus' birthday!!

RECORDING UPDATE!

I have realized that since I have been so busy lately that I haven't updated my bloggy friends about my singing career lately! So here it goes:

Things are going really good at the recording studio now that I am finally well from being sick for about two months! My voice is still improving and getting stronger. I haven't recorded a new song lately as we have been working on making my voice stronger! I am working on writing my own songs still and haven't had much luck lately, I guess it's writers block! Everything is going really good and it is still the highlight of my week to go to the recording studio! Hopefully things will continue to go good and I will have my demo soon! EEEKKKK I can't wait! That's about it for now! I'll try to go back to updating you sooner I just don't have much to discuss about it some weeks! (HA yeah right!)

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas.......

I am finally getting to post our Christmas decoration pictures! I just love Christmas time and all the beautiful decorations that everyone has! So here are our's!

Our First Christmas Tree! I hope to have more than one eventually but for now this is it! It's decorated in Razorback ornaments (we're big fans), red, white, and green balls, and some other small decorations!!

Here is our Razorback!! Woo Pig Sooie!!

Our "H" Ornament!

Our Razorback plate!

Norman the Razorback Santa Gnome!

Hope you enjoyed my little tour!

Weekend!

Well, it was quite a weekend around here! Friday night we layed around and pretty much enjoyed relaxing! Saturday I was up early getting my hair done and completing my Christmas shopping with my Mom! Sunday was church, choir practice, and a Blessings Gathering party hosted by my cousin! I had planned on Monday to get all my presents wrapped and everything cleaned but instead I came down with the stomach virus! YUCK! So I did absolutly nothing yesterday!

We had a very busy four day weekend! We were in the process of moving to a new house and of course all of the Thanksgiving festivites! Thanksgiving was wonderful, we had lunch with my family and then another supper with a different part of my family! All the food was delicious! Friday I braved Black Friday! We had a blast even though we stood outside Target for an hour and a half in the freezing cold! I got a pre-lit christmas tree- $25, a coffee pot-$3, and a stand mixer- $25! I did pretty good! I got some of our Christmas decorations up and can't wait to finish so I can post pics! Saturday we watched the Hogs' painful loss to LSU! It was not a happy ending! Afterwards we played a little RockBand and went to bed! Today Heath went back to work in Hope and I will be joining him down there on Tuesday! Now I have a To Do list of things to do before Christmas! First on the list is getting all of the Christmas shopping done and the gifts wrapped! I just love this time of year even though it is always soo busy!!
