Getting in the Christmas Spirit!

Well it is 1 1/2 days until Christmas break, but Jason and I have been working on getting in the Christmas spirit for awhile now. The weekend before last we enjoyed heading to Lubbock for the 50th Anniversary of Carol of Lights. This is a really special tradition at Tech where they have caroling and light up the campus. We hadn't been in 2 years, so we were really excited about going back to it!

The extra special part was our family went with us! My parents, Mandy, my aunt & uncle, and cousins all went! My mom had not been to Carol of Lights since she was in college, and it was my dad's first time! They also brought our "niece" Kaytlyn...It was her first trip to Lubbock! We are working real hard to make her into a Red Raider. They have a stuffed Raider Red that plays the fight song, and we always all do Guns Up when it plays. Kayty and Jackson have both learned Guns Up, and when she saw Raider Red at Carol of Lights she tried to put her GUns Up in her little mittens, and started to sing! LOL! She will be a Red Raider yet! While we were there we went out to the Vintage Township addition Christmas Display. It was beautiful and so much fun!

Last weekend we had fun going to Jason's Christmas party for work. It was at Austin Ranch in Grapevine. His company put everyone up for the night in the DFW Lakes Hilton, always nice!

Christmas Tour of Homes

Wow it has been a long time since I posted. I keep meaning to, but never get around to it...But I figured this would be a good opportunity to post. It's a Christmas Tour of Homes Blog Style...how fun!



So here it goes...I must admit I am cheating a little. Some of these pictures are from last year, but not much has changed, and I added pictures of the new things we've aquired this year...


Our beautiful red and black Christmas tree!


We've collected Tech ornaments from the first year we were their together until now!


Red and Gold Wreath


A new addition with our garland


Fun stockings...A ballerina for me, and Double T for Jason!


Pretty stockings...and my Ballet Tree. Every year when I was younger I would get a dance ornament...When we got married my mom gave them all to me, and now I've continued the tradition and have enough for my own little tree!


Our Nativity Scene


A collection of Christmas centerpieces I made for our dining table


A work in progress...I saw a cool collection of Christmas tree toppers, and I am still looking for some red ones to complete my collection, until then red candles are holding their place.

Well, that's all for now...Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by!
