A Texas Christmas

We got to spend Christmas with my family in Texas this year!!!! I was so excited to go home, I hadnt been there in over a year!
We had a ton of fun hanging out with the fam, opening presents, going to the zoo, galavanting around downtown :-P We played alot of Wii tennis, probably the favorite present of the TX clan.

Here are the fancy cowgirl chefs in their new aprons and festive boots!

My cute mom

Sisters opening presents

Greg and I got raquet ball equipment!! woohoo!



Greg had such a great time he's even considering moving there! I didnt say a thing... Texas sells itself!

Almost Christmas!

I couldn't help it, we opened our presents early :-)

The Orange Test

You are Apricot

Soft and sweet, over time you let your provocative nature shine through. You are definitely unconventional, but you don't broadcast it. You offer people a fresh perspective on life - so fresh that it can be shocking!

What Color Orange Are You?

Color Me Mine

We found the coolest place called Color Me Mine where you go and paint ceramic peices and then they put them in the oven for you and glaze them. It was so fun, and im excited to see how they all turn out when we pick them up on wednesday!

Temple Square

Checking out the lights with the Hendersons and Carters

I love the muppets!

Your Christmas is Most Like: The Muppet Christmas Carol

You tend to reflect on Christmas past, present, and future... And you also do a little singing.

What Movie Is Your Christmas Most Like?

Our Tree

We decided to get a little tree this year to fit in our little apt. I got the decoartions from Roberts and I LOVE how cute our little country tree turned out

This is my favorite ornament

My Debut!

Tonight was my Mary Kay Debut party! I had a good turn out... two old roommates, one friend from highschool, a friend of the friend from highschool, a current classmate, and my MIL. We shared some stories, had some laughs, and saw some product. I made a little bit of money, which is nice, but I think the best part of having it was...

My house is spotless!!!
(except my bedroom which looks like hurricane Rita came through)

Here is one of my cute displays


Here are the brownie bites I made, and left over Halloween candy I served them

(speaking of Halloween candy, I have 3 BOXES of candy bars left over that I need to get rid of. We only had 6 trick-or-treaters!)

And here are the cute shoes I wore that I am very thankful to take off now



For everyone who did not get to attend (Val), I will be most happy to have a party for you and your friends at your very own house any Monday, Tuesday, or Saturday.

Halloween Fun

Halloween at Evans was quite the event! We all dressed up and had a pizza party. We also had trick-or-treat, but only 5 kids came in for candy.
I worked really hard to MAKE my own costume, and really wanted to win the grande prize (a trophy made up of tons of hair product, new scissor blades, combes, and clips) but alas I did not win. Here I am with the 1st place winner Cindy Lou Who... aka Malory

Second place was Sam who dressed as an Oompa Loompa, third was Timi as Miss Black America, shown in photo below:

ashley and i were the super heros!

I wore the super hero boots until my super feet could take it no more, then I changed into the converse (above) :-)
