I'll Be Home With Bells On!

Tim and I were fortunate to go home again this year for Christmas. We arrived on the 23rd and went out for a relaxing Mexican meal. Christmas Eve was a busy day, full of cooking and finishing last minute touches! That afternoon, Tim and I visited with his Grandparents and gave them their Christmas gifts. After church, we prepared our Christmas Eve spread and watched the boys open their gifts. What fun, I have to say the Flash costume Spence requested was definitely a hit! While in costume, he would only answer to Flash! Despite waking up Christmas morning with a massive migraine, we had an incredible Christmas dinner. After Christmas, Tim and I headed to the beach for some much needed beach time! We had such a great time despite the frigid temperatures! We managed to eat some yummy food and get a little rest and shopping in! Thanks Tim for a great Holiday!

ATX part II

Here we go again!  We had a great time sight seeing on Friday that night we hit up Hotel San Jose for drinks and La Perla for dinner.  It was fabulous!  Saturday  we slept in, had breakfast and got our selves ready to cheer on our Tigers with the Austin Auburn Club (can you believe I ran into someone that I went to high school with?  Had not seen him in probably 15 years!!)   Anyway, Auburn was playing the Unviversity of Arkansas that day in what was sure to be a great SEC matchup!  It did not disapoint  Auburn won 65-43!  That day we knew we were in for a special season!  After regrouping we got ourselves ready and headed over to the Hula Hut on Lake Austin for more laughter, food and drinks!  We sat on the deck over looking the lake and had a great night!

Wow where did 2010 go? To be honest it was actually a very difficult year in many ways! So we decided to celebrate the new year with some of our best friends! Our neighbors from Auburn, Valerie and Phil came over for the weekend. And our Birmingham friends, Tim and Kim Came over to ring in the new year! It was a very low key evening with lots of great food and laughs! Here's to 2011!
