Kelly's Gingerbread House

Kelly wanted to decorate the gingerbread house that was in the cupboard left from last year. So after a trip to the store and the candy row he finally got started. BUT with a small cost to the everyday stuff.... I burned up my mix master making him some frosting..... SO off to the store I went on Christmas Eve.... to stand in line for 15 minutes just to get a new mix master... and then it was home to make him some more frosting! But is was worth it! He had a good time and I enjoyed watching and giving pointers.

This is just a few of the candies Kelly wanted to decorate with!

This is the finished look.... He had hoped to decorate the back yard but simply ran out of time. With Kelly working 2 jobs the evening hours home are short. But it is another job well done!!! Thanks Love ya!

Scottie

This is my little brothers son! And when I say that I also mean he acts just like his DAD~~~
I was trying to take a picture of Scottie in his George Straight Wrangles and George Straight cowboy shirt. He looked SOOO cute dressed like Grandpa Duck......... But as you can see... Scottie was being Scottie and kept running from me and the camera.... but now I have this cute wrangler butt picture of him!

He is such a HAM!!!! But ya gotta love him!

Christmas Eve

This is my Wonderful Grandma and Grandpa Irons! It is because of them and ALL their

hard work and excellent examples that we are still having our wonderful Christmas Eve dinner and present game. This year we went to the church. (not the same and not as cozy as there house but was still very nice) We are very blessed to have such great grandparents. THANKS Grandma and Grandpa for such a wonderful family to be a part of. I love you!!!


Mom, Sh'Kell, Eric and Mary eating Christmas Eve dinner. And I believe that is Michael that is facing me... Sorry not sure the other one that looks just like him is that one with his back to me in the gray sweatshirt.

This is most of the family getting ready to play the Christmas Eve present game! As you can see the kids are having a hard time waiting for all us adults to shut up and begin the game!

Kamari and Pesh waiting for there turn to pick a present!

While we were all finishing up the present game.... Kelly who was sitting on the stage (Not feeling well) managed to get some company. This is my little sisters twins. They are so cute! I believe he opened candy for them... that their parents wouldn't. (but we don't care we did not have to take them home with us)

Sh'Kell Cheer Performance

Sh'Kell had a Cheer performance at the college basketball half time. She was really excited but her half hearted smile does not look that way!!

She has bruises all over her arms from all the hard work she does helping to base!

Sh'Kell is second from the back. They did a great job!! She really likes Cheer and it is nice that I don't have to fight with her every week to go!!

Christmas and Snow in Dixie

Notice the nice green grass... and the cute blow up Frosty and Christmas tree! Sure glad we decorated all this before what happened in the next picture.....











This is what we found outside Wednesday morning.... and yes school was cancelled. Some where under all that snow is Frosty and a Tree. WHOLLY cow have some snow in Dixie~~~~









This is why I was not thrilled to have Kam drive to work! She reminded me she was old enough and could handle it..... and thank goodness she did.
