Christmas parties and San Antonio!

We had our annual Christmas Party with all the little kiddos from the Carl family and the Kirby family.

It is always a lot of fun, and I enjoy being with both families!

 

Emma and the pretty place settings! Jordan and I staying warm by the fire

Then we decided to take some pictures by the fireplace...

Emma loved her spirograph!!

lots of cool coloring toys and a bow and arrow

Then Madeline came over a little later and opened her gifts=)

A few days later we had our '6 chicks' Christmas party with my friends from

high school. I am so blessed to still be friends with these amazing ladies!! We had

dinner at Lauren's house and it was a lot of fun!!

We did a gift exchange-it was intense=) lol!

Just a few days before Christmas we had to drive down to San Antonio (that's for

another blog story to come...) and it was a nice little trip for us=)

We ate at Texas Land and Cattle-yum!

Well that's all of the pictures from before Christmas, so the next blogs will be from

Christmas Eve and Christmas.

Thanks for reading and looking at my pictures!!

December Festivities!

So many things go on in December! At first it can seem a bit daunting

when you look at your calendar and see all the things that are planned, but

then once you are doing those things and spending time with friends and family

it is so memorable and lots of fun. This blog is a snapshot of all the

things that went on before the week of Christmas.

First here is the annual 'Hanging of the Greens' at our chuch.

 

This is little Joey and Audrey trying to steal the show. There was a talent show after the

potluck where Jordan and Phil Edwards played Ukelele's to the song

White Christmas, I personally think they were the best act, but I guess I'm biased=)

This is at my AMC Christmas Joy Concert Series at First Baptist of Arlington

If you can see me-I'm right behind the French horn on the front row!

It was a beautiful church!

My mom and I after one of the shows!

After my second concert my camera broke, so I couldn't take any pictures..sorry.

This was on the same night-my kids Christmas Musical: Home for the Holidays!

They did a fantastic job and every single one of them showed up!

Here's me after the show thinking they did AWESOME!!

Jordan had an extra week off while I was still in school so he went to eat

lunch with Gabe and Emma at GCA one day!

gettin silly!!

Then the next weekend we had the Kirby Christmas Symphony!

I personally believe this was the best one yet!

The decorations inside were fantastic, and I especially liked all the music they chose!

At the end of the show it snowed inside! It was very neat=)

This is us at the end of the show! IT was great!

Taking pictures in front of the pretty Christmas tree with my NEW CAMERA from Jordan

This is my favorite one that we took.

Jordan did give me my Christmas/Birthday present early. It is a really nice camera!

It's a Canon Powershot SX20-its really amazing. I'm still trying to learn

how to use it, but I love having a really nice camera. What a perfect gift before the holidays!=)
