Christmas Day

After celebrating with Jarrad and Megan on Christmas morning, we headed over to Boompaw & Nawnaw’s house to celebrate Christmas with them.  Nick, Michelle & Parker were there as well as Leigh Ann, Eddy & Jackson.  We were sad that Stacy & Bryan couldn’t be there – they were definitely missed by Megan and me. 

The house was very busy with two infants and a six-year old girl who just had to bring her babies (Reagan, Rachael, Sarah & Travis).  Boompaw looked very comfortable in his recliner with his boys.  Parker (left, 5 weeks) and Jackson (right, 3 months) were right at home in his arms too. 

Around noon, Meg was in the kitchen with Boompaw and she saw Santa and Mrs. Claus pull up in the driveway.  She immediately started screaming and yelling and ran straight for the front door.  I love her enthusiasm, it’s contagious!  Meg is so thoughtful that she even thanked Santa for her gifts at the house earlier that morning.  I love this girl of mine!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we spent the evening with Nina in Dallas.  Meg, Jarrad and I got to Nina’s house around 5:30.  Meg was very happy to see Nina, Auntie Lee Lee, Uncle Eddy and Jackson.  Unc, Aunt Michelle and Parker got to the house a little later in the evening.   

Meg and I had baked Christmas cookies the night before, so they were ready for decorating.  We all decorated a few cookies and ate a few too.  Right as we were finishing up cookie decorating, Nina’s power went out.  Thankfully she has a gas stove, so we were still able to cook what we needed.  The power was probably off for over an hour.  As we were sitting at the table, enjoying the meal, the power came back on. Nina is a candle burner, so we had plenty of light. 

After dinner, we exchanged Christmas presents.  Meg got lots of great stuff this year, including a cook book, apron, Juicy crayons and a box full of money.  It was a great Christmas Eve.

Happy Birthday Parker

On Nov 16, Nick and Michelle welcomed Parker into the world.  Jarrad, Meg and I made it up to the hospital the next day for a quick visit.  Parker is so adorable and has so much hair!

2010 World Series

DISCLAIMER – COMPLETE PICTURE OVERLOAD
(and, this isn’t even 10% of the pictures I took)

Last night, we had the opportunity of a lifetime!  We were taken to the World Series!  Luke and Patty got tickets to Game 5 of the 2010 World Series.  The game didn’t turn out how we had hoped, but we were still able to witness a deciding game for the World Series! 

Luke and Patty pulled out all the stops for the game!  We all met at their house before the game and rode together in a party bus that they had rented for the game.  The ride was so much fun.

There were 12 of us in total!  Luke and Patty; Megan, Jarrad and Me; Stacy and Bryan; Albert and Barbara; Nick and Michelle; and Tommy (a family friend’s son).  We had amazing seats and got the the game early enough to see a little batting practice, have some nachos and take lots of pictures!

I don’t think I will ever be able to explain the atmosphere at the Ballpark last night.  I will never be able to explain how I felt walking into the Ballpark knowing that the game we were about to witness could be the final game of the 2010 World Series.

The Rangers fans had high hopes that we would win this game and send the series back to San Francisco.  Unfortunately, Game 5 wasn’t good to the Rangers, and the 2010 World Series was decided on November 1, 2010 at the Ballpark in Arlington.

Even though the Rangers didn’t win the World Series, the season was amazing.  Meg and I only made it to two regular season games this past year.  I have a feeling we’ll be going to a lot more next season.

I’m definitely sad that the season is over!  However, I look forward to next year’s season and all that it will be.  I hope that we will go to a lot more games next season than we did this year! 

Thank you Rangers for an AMAZING season!  Enjoy the offseason and get ready for April 1, 2011! 

Weekend Wrap Up

Sunday afternoon, Jarrad, Meg and I headed over to Michael's to hang out in the pool and cook out. Jarrad didn't want me to bring his swim suit, but I did anyway - I know my husband so well. He was in the pool before any of us. We swam all afternoon and had a blast. All the years of swimming lessons have really paid off. Meg is a fish in water. I was so proud of her.
