We are so thankful for another wonderful Christmas with family and friends. Here are a ton of pics from the Jingle Mingle and both family Christmases.
Here are some lovely beauties from the Jingle Mingle:
Mike graced us with his lovely Christmas Story get up. Thankfully Crystal told him it was a tacky Christmas sweater party and it wasn't.
Suzy and Jamie along with our plethora of wine! We may need to limit the amount of bottles for next year.
So glad Grandma could make it town for the festivities. I love having her here and spending time with her.
Sweet Charlene made it this year for the first time!!
Gotta love my Texas Tech girl!
Aunt Debbie & Uncle Terry. I'd say he has adjusted well to living in Texas and coming from London.
Another successful party!
Cheese!! Part of the crew cerebrating!!
The white elephant was a great success this year! All sorts of lovely treasures like a picture of the shoups, the
crib dribbler from John and Rach, Christmas vacation t-shirt, lots of Duck Dynasty gear, and the much envied
Ladie's Night Out frame!
Formal pictures with the Mithcell's
Another special guest, Kelly!! She made it in town fro L.A. that day and still came. So fun to have her over!
Notice the flash in the mirror, Bryan wanted to make sure he made the photo too. You can tell Rach and I appreciate that.
Then we decided that since we had so much room for activities that we would do a little pyramid action. I think this may be a new tradition! Ill let the girls chime in on that one.
Then I said put your arms up...talking to the girls and Bryan totally blew our "base". Hah I guess he missed cheer camp this past summer.
Then comes our "flyer" Rachie Reindeer.
Three levels, wohoo!!
