The Cotton Bowl!!!

Well, Lance & I took Jesse to The Cotton Bowl in Dallas and we had a blast, despite the loss.....we knew it was going to be a battle, and it was.  But we are so proud of the Tigers!!  We had a great time in Dallas despite the rain, but thank goodness the game was inside AT&T stadium!  Claire stayed behind with all the grandparents, but we soon depart for Orlando, so lots coming soon!!!

we were on the largest jumbrton I've ever seen!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

 Well Merry Christmas! The last few days have been so bery busy, but so very great! We celebrated with Lance's sister and family on Saturday and just had a blast!  We celebrated with my parents last night, and went to mass last night where Claire and the SFA middle school choir performed and the Bishop officiated.  It was just beautiful!

A little fmaily selfie before leaving for mass....

Jesse and Emily...Emily and her family joined us for mass last night......great sevice and even better music!

 A very tired Momma.....

A very tired dad.....

But little bit got her dream rangefinder and a new 6 iron....she was giddy!

Jesse got his dream phone....among a few other goodies!

 We hosted our parents and Uncle Tommy and just had a blast eating and playing games!

Merry Merry Christmas!! Off to Dallas Friday for the Cotton Bowl!

Let the holidays begin!!

It feels like Christmas now that we have seen the Nutcracker...again!  This was our 10th Nutcracker together at The Orpheum and as usual, it was lovely and put us in the Holiday Spirit!

I made 70 ish cookies for Lance to take to his employees and co-workers.....if I never see royal icing again I am ok with that....ever.....

Little bit continues to practice after school at quail, regardless of temps....her old friend mr Cordell saw her playing and pulled over and started right back giving her putting tips....proud of her effort all year long!

Claire got ready with Wallace and they and a big group of friends went to the SBA junior high Holiday Dance....a lot of fun was apparently had!

Ms Claire here recently found out she is a finalist in the LPGA "What Drives You" essay contest.  She entered and now is headed to Orlando in January and given tickets to the LPG Tournament of Champoins Pro Am and received an invite to the clinic led by LPGA pros!  She is so excited she can hardly wait til January.....we will pack in a one day visit to Sea World while we are there!   Lots coming soon on that trip.....but first we will travel to Dallas for the COTTON BOWL on December 28th....GO TIGERS!

Claire's SFA 8th Grade Beta Club prepared 26,000 medals the day before the St Jude Marathon as a day of service.  It was a ton of work, but they had a blast, and it was all for a great cause!!
