New Year's Eve 2011

New Year's Eve was low key (as always). We stayed at home and invited our friends Stephen and Emily over. This is Sarah Beth's first NYE so I had to get some cute pictures of her in her outfit!

How can you NOT smile at this cute thing? 

And, before the Dennis' came over we HAD to go jump (with all the leaves)... 

After Emily and Stephen got here, we ate and then shot off some fireworks.

This is a scary sight, these two...

Time to make some smore's. Stephen had NEVER had one before! Where has he been?

Yummy

What a great night! After we put the kids to bed, we stayed up and played games until midnight. It was a nice fun evening!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS Party!

I wanted to start a new tradition this year and have a "Happy Birthday Jesus" party for the kids. They had a blast making the cake and decoration for the party. We sent out invitations to all our friends and we were so excited for them to come!

We also made shirts for the kids too...

Didn't get any picture of me reading the story of Jesus' birth to the kids and us talking about it. But, the kids had a great time (and so did the mommy's)!

Cowboys vs Dolphins

My mom is awesome and she got us four tickets to the Cowboys vs. Dolphins game on Thanksgiving. Cecil Ray, being the biggest football fan I know, has NEVER been to a professional game! How exciting that his first game was this one since I'm a Cowboys fan and he (for some unknown reason) is a Dolphin fan and has been his whole life! We decided to take Stephen and Emily with us. Stephen is a HUGE Cowboys fan also and has never been to a game!

Outside the stadium...

This place is massive

Poor CR in a sea of Cowboys fans

Another prayer before the second half...

This Guy...Life Lesson #9

NEVER buy standing room only tickets for you and your two year old son. He WILL fall asleep during the second qtr and you WILL have to hold him the WHOLE rest of the game!

And, the Cowboys pull it off (barely, but it's a W)

Me!

Emily!

Stephen and Emily...Happy Couple

CR and Me...an almost happy couple. Poor CR, those Dolphins just couldn't pull out a win for ya.

We had an awesome time and a BIG THANK YOU to Mom for the tickets!!
