I almost forgot

Spencer also wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year!!!!!

New Years Eve!!!

Well this post is a couple of days late. But better late than never right. I was looking back through my pictures from this night and to be honest with you, I don't hardly have any and the ones I do have are not that great. I'm not exactly sure why either. But I'm sure the alcoholic beverages had absolutely nothing to do with it. Anyhow. We went over to Scott and Lori's for New Years Eve. We had a great time as always. Lori fixed some great appetizers and we had a few drinks. For the majority of the time we sat around the bar and played JENGA.... I don't think any of us had any idea we would have had so much fun playing this game. Me and Lori are champs though. Never once did either one of us knock that little tower down. We rang in the new year watching the ball drop in time square but like always I was down for the count about an hour later. With Jeff waking me up off the couch at 2AM. I guess I'm getting to old for this.
Anyways here are a few of the pictures that I did get.. And like I said earlier they really are not that good.

Me and Lori (again pic not so good)

Christmas Night at the Herring's

I know this post is a little late but I felt the need to keep everything in order. After we had Christmas with my family, we headed out to Jeff's parents house. We ate, dinner, opened gifts and just hung out. We had a really good time. It's not often that we get everyone under one roof so it was nice just to hang out and catch up. Here are a few of the pictures that I was able to get from this adventure. Unfortunately, I was not able to get many.

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning my 2 sisters their husbands, my niece and nephew all came over to my parents. We had a great lunch. With all the trimmings.. Turkey, ham, dressing, green bean casserole, yams, mashed potatoes, rolls, and some other stuff I know I'm forgetting. After lunch we all gathered in the living room and started opening the gifts. This year was so much fun with Connor and Kinley. Last year he was only 7 months old and she was 2 months old. Kinley was asleep the whole time and Connor really didnt understand what was going on. However this year, He loved opening all his WIGGLES stuff and she was tearing into all her packages. They both had such a good time. After the kids finished opening their gifts we started on ours. The 3 girls and 3 boys all drew names which made it so much easier this year. Shelly drew my name and got me a sign for my house. I dont have any picutres of it but when I do ill be sure to post it. Basically it is a sign you hang on the wal, in black print letters it has our last name "HERRING" then on top of that in cursive it say's Bless Our Home. I love it. (Thanks Shelly). Jamie bought Jeff the Anthony Bourdaine cookbook he has been wanting for months. He too loves his gift but after seeing some of the rescipes i'm not sure if I agree. HA! And I have to give props to my dad this year. For as long as I can remember my mom has wanted to see Celine Dion. Everything they went to Vegas her show was always sold out and now she no longer performs out here. So he bought her 2 tickets to her show in Dallas next monday. She was so suprised and so excited! Well here are a few of my favorite pictures from our Christmas at my family.

Christmas Eve

Well Christmas Eve this year was alittle different than years past. Normally we spend it with one side of the family or the other. But this year both sides decided to do Christmas on Christmas day. So the day before Jeff spent the morning with his dad and went over to see some friends and I hung out with my mom and sister. We went to lunch and then did alittle shopping. ( I know weird right) After that we met Jeff back out at my parents house. We rode the ranger around and chased the cows. Yes we are 30 years old but it was fun.... That evening my mom and dad took us out to eat. Came home watched some TV and went to bed so Santa could come.

Pretty much an out of the ordinary Christmas Eve, yet it was a relaxing day.

Santa Clause is Coming to Town

On Tuesday December 23 we loaded up the sleigh (aka: my car) and headed to Waco to deliver the gifts to all the good little boys and girls.

This is a bit ridiculous huh?

Did I mention that we had to put the extra hitch basket thing on the back of the car just to carry our luggage..

Pictures

We had a great Christmas. I am still sorting through pictures to post. I promise they will be up soon.... I really dont know what is taking me so long. Going back to work this morning was ruff, what can i say!!!

Merry Christams

We just wanted to take the time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I know it is 3 days too early but since we were headed to Waco Tuesday night after work, I did not know when I would be able to post this. I am looking so forward to going home for the holidays. It is always fun when we get to go home but being home from the holidays is always so much better. We will be staying with my parents on Tuesday, and Wednesday having Christmas on Thursday and then heading over to Jeff's parents for the evening. Not sure where we will be staying Friday and Saturday, my plan is too stay with my sister and niece, not sure if that is at her house or moms. Not really sure yet either if Jeff will be with me those days or staying with his family but Im sure we will work it out. We will be heading back to Houston on Sunday, to which I am already not looking forward to.

Well again I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas. And stay Safe!!!!


This was the picture from our Christmas card this year. I tried to upload a picture of our actual card but for what ever reason it would not let me.

Hallettsville Weekend

This past weekend we loaded up and went to spend the weekend in Hallettsville with a few good friends. We didn't do anything real exciting, just pretty much hung out, had alot of good food and a few beers.

Saturday morning Jeff went hunting with the guys. He shot his 1st deer of the season. He got his self a little spike. I was still asleep when the got back so I don't have any pictures of it. If I ever get Scott to email me the one he has i'll post them later. Saturday afternoon we also had MiKinleys 1st birthday party. She was such a cutie and I think she really had a good time at her party. That evening Ryan cooked up so most excellent fajita, we we all got our grub on. YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!!!! Hung out by the fire and called it a night.

Like I said it was not too excited just a relaxing fun weekend with friends.

*( Once I got home I realized that the only pictures that I took were of the party.)*

MiKinley just CHEEZIN

I think she likes it!!!
