Mom and Dad’s

We then headed back to Conway to spend a couple days with Mom and Dad. Friday night we all ate a yummy dinner at the Olive Garden and went to see the movie “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. The movie was VERY long, but also VERY good!


Here is Daddy modeling his “Becky & Bonnie” shirt

Mom made us cocoa in her coco-motion while we watched a movie

I miss you Mommy and Daddy already 🙁
Thank you for a wonderful Christmas! We love you soooo MUCH! They always spoil us rotten! We got so many things we wanted-clothes, lots of stocking stuff, $$$, Starbucks cards, I got a Ginalli I’d been wanting, sheets, a digital picture frame, and so much other stuff I can’t think of right now! We are so blessed to have such a loving and wonderful family.

Christmas at the farm 2008

We left Christmas eve and headed to the farm. It was a looong drive! We got there around midnight…after a couple trips to Starbucks of course! We listened to New Moon on the way because I want Terence to finish the Twilight series with me 🙂

Christmas day we all woke up to biscuits and gravy and opened our stockings and presents. I just love the way Nannie and Papa’s house feels. It feels like HOME.

Stockings all hung in a row

Mom got a Kissy doll from Aunt Karli. A. Karli ruined Mom’s Kissy doll when they were little by taking a permanent marker to her and Mom never forgave her for ruining her favorite toy! A. Karli found one on EBay and got it for Mom and it was so funny watching her open it and then she started crying…it was the sweetest thing 🙂

All the guys got some GRILLZ for their teeth in their stockings. They were pretty nasty looking..ha..ha..

Lindsey got a Wii for Christmas and we had so much fun playing it. I rock at bowling!!! WEEEEE!!!!! I really want one now!

And we also had to visit Papa on Christmas too! He is in Heaven rejoicing this Christmas…it was hard not having him with us, but he’s always in our minds and hearts and there are so many little things that remind us all of Papa each day. We love you Papa!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Tonight I went to a Christmas service with Terence’s Granddaddy and his wife Nell. They are the sweetest grandparents! I just love how older people are to each other, Granddaddy waits on Nell hand and foot and they are so cute with each other. The service was beautiful and Terence’s Aunt, who has a beautiful voice sang a couple of solos. I was grateful they let me tag along and I had such a good time! Afterwards they took me to eat at their apartment tower, where they have a buffet every night…it’s the same place we ate at Thanksgiving and it always has great food! Thank you Granddaddy and Nell for a wonderful evening!

Also-two of my customers at work brought me Starbucks gift cards in the last few days! Do they know me well or what? They are definately feeding the addiction..ha..ha..!!! I love the people I work with and see every day and it’s nice to know they like me too 🙂

Well, only 1 1/2 more days of work and I’m off until December 31st! Yippeee!!!

I’m so anxious to get home and see my family! Bonnie is leaving this weekend and I wish I could go with her. Terence and I are planning to leave on Christmas eve and drive all the way to my Nannie’s house that day, which is about 8 hours. I hope the weather is good for us.

Terence had to get some brake work on his car done yesterday and that was not cheap so I was sort of bummed about that. Then today I got a call and I got a great Christmas bonus which I am THRILLED about! It’s amazing how the Lord always provides when you need it!

Tonight we had our big Christmas party for work in downtown Fort Worth at a really nice restaurant. It was a lot of fun! I had brought my camera, but forgot the memory card at home so I didn’t get any pics. 🙁

I hope everyone is having a good week and gearing up for Christmas! It’s the most wonderful time of the year and it’s almost here!!!
