5 Christmases 2010

Yes, y'all read right! This year seemed like we were in the movie "Four Christmases", but we did have a great time with family and friends! Here's how it went! Thursday night, we went to Mamaw and Papaw Price's to visit. Amy, Tony and Leighann, Ron and Debbie were there for Christmas! Here we are with Clarice and Rudolph!
Leighann loved playing with them!

Russell loves kids! Leighann had such fun playing horsey!

We stopped by Mandy and David's house and got to wish them a Merry Christmas. Mandy is so sweet!

Christmas 1: At Jackie and Ricky's house. Belle and her gift. Can ya'll guess what it was? A dog bed! She loves it and is using it now! Thanks, Jackie and Ricky! :)

Christmas 2: Mamaw and Papaw's. Leighann and I both wore our Rudolph ears! They were too fun! Yes, I am willing to look silly just to make children smile! HA!

I LOVE this pic of the 5 of us. Amy and Tony are such best friends of ours! Not only are they best friends-but family! Double blessing!

Amy and her sweet girl playing makeup!

Christmas 3: Mama's house. We stayed with her Christmas Eve.

We had to get pictures. I love Mama's house at Christmas.

Mama and I had eggnog for a late night drink. We stayed up pretty late cooking!

We celebrated Christmas morning with Faith Hill Joy to the World cd in the background and Breakfast Caserole and cinni minis for breakfast-perfect!

Christmas 4: Kelly and Eric's. We had so much fun at Kelly and Eric's. We opened gifts, visited, and had the best dinner. We had pancetta wrapped beef tenderloin, scalloped potatoes, green bean bundles, rolls, and charlotte russe for dessert. Perfect dinner for Christmas!

Of course we took more pictures. Family is the best!

Logan got a White House lego set for Christmas. Tada! He finished it in less than one day! Look at how awesome it is! Russell helped him and they had such fun.

Christmas 5: Lawson Christmas. Whew! Five Christmas celebrations! HA!

Here is Todd opening one of his presents. He LOVES to hunt!

We had a good time at Jackie and Ricky's for the Lawson Christmas, as always. It's always good to catch up with everyone. I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Christmas.
Now we are ready to celebrate the new year soon!

That is why I was sent. Luke 4:43

A Jordan Thanksgiving

How was everyone's Thanksgiving? Hope it was safe and fun! This year we went to my Aunt Becky and Uncle Jack's for Thanksgiving. It was a wonderful Jordan family Thanksgiving. We had a lot of fun catching up with everyone who we haven't seen in a while.
Russell and I enjoyed a good meal!

Aww! Here's my cousin, Jennifer and her husband, Matt. I knew they would get married right when they started dating! :) Sweet couple.

Me and my sweet cousins Jennifer, and Ann Marie. Ann Marie's 1 year wedding anniversary is coming up soon! :)

Oh the joy of family! Aren't they silly?

Lauren, Katie Lee, and Zoie

Here are the kiddos playing Uno Attack!

Me and my sweet Aunt Nancy!

Here's my cousin Mary Catherine wearing the official Bear Bryant hat! My Papaw Jordan was friends with Bear Bryant way back when! This was his hat! :)

And here is our sweet family! I know I have said this more times than anyone can count but family is just wonderful to me. I am happiest when I am around family. And if you are my husband, Mama, sister, brother-in-law, nephew, niece, aunt, uncle, cousin, (y'all get the picture) and are reading this, this post is dedicated to you. You are my family and I love you more than you will ever know. Saying that to you is not enough. This post is dedicated to you. I LOVE Y'ALL!

And of course, Logan and Lauren and I rounded off the weekend with a little golf cart ride!

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is the will of God 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Father's Day

Tomorrow is Father's Day, as most of you know. Of course I have been thinking about Daddy a lot lately as it gets closer and closer to Father's Day. This was taken in our backyard. Daddy and his 2 daughters.
We caught these fish together one Summer day. Fun times.

On another note, we have had a good weekend so far. Yesterday Russell and I had a date night in Texarkana.
We went to Cracker Barrel, which was SO good! I have not been here in SO long! We really enjoyed it.

Remember 15 years ago, when the first Toy Story movie came out? We decided to go see Toy Story 3!

Here we are wearing our 3-D glasses. This movie did not disappoint. We don't normally go see cartoons but we knew the movie would be good. Like I said, it was great. I won't give anything away, but the end was just so sweet! Today, has been very low key. We just stayed home most of the day today! My kind of day! One more thing, I updated my cooking blog with a recipe that's perfect for Summer! Go check it out!

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23:6
