Fun Family Conversations

Just some snippets of family conversation I thought you would enjoy from the holidays.
Mom-in-law to Hubby: Go pull your thing out and let’s play with it!
Hubby, Hubby’s sister and I start laughing…..yea, all of our minds were in the gutter that time!
FYI: she was referring to his baking….AND this is pre-drinking….
Later On that night…
Hubby: OOO [...]

Merry Christmas…

Last night at the Riverwalk was gorgeous! We had a great dinner, great conversations, and full bellies! Here is the proof…
 
Then on to Boudros….Amazing food and they make the BEST guacamole!
And then it was time for Christmas PJs…..woo hoo!
The family poses with their Christmas Pajamas! Fun times!
And then it was Christmas…….
Patches and her present, she [...]

Texas

Our drive looked like this, now you can feel like you were right there with us…

We made it and I am still alive…Hubby didn’t kill me for asking “are we there yet” AND except for that unfortunate ( I almost died cause I had to pee) incident it was a relatively uneventful trip. Yea, I [...]

Christmas Vaction=Freedom!

Whew, the Holidays are upon us and I have the rest of the week off of work….what could be better? Lounging around in pjs…watching Christmas movies, DRINKING, hanging out with family, and doing nothing….life couldn’t get much better. I wish I could be a professional non-worker! J Maybe that will be my goal for the next [...]

Perfect Match

As of today, Hubby and I SHOULD have been in Texass (that is what I affectionately call it), however due to his evil job we are still here. (NOT WHERE I WANT TO BE). So, we are hoping to hit the road on Tuesday early morning to go visit his family for Christmas and my birthday. [...]

Fun Finds…

So, I never told you guys the exciting news! My tacky Ornament (My First Tacky Ornament Party) was a big hit…I tied for first place! Can you believe it?!!! I can’t, I was thinking I would end up with my pride and joy ornament, but people were figthing over it…it goes to show where true alligiance [...]

The Great Christmas Tree Mystery…

The Ceramic Tree Mystery:
My Aunt made this Ceramic Christmas Tree over 30 years ago. This Christmas I inherited this tree (my Nanny passed this October and this is one of the things I inherited, see Elmira, NY ).
I was so excited, that is until my sister quite sarcastically stated that this COULD NOT have been hand made! We all [...]

Decorating Time

This weekend we decorated the tree and more of the house. We had a fun time, except for mine and Hubby’s disputes of where to strategically place the (hideous) ornaments. I feel as if I shouldn’t have to compromise THAT much since the tree, to me, is not just a Christmas tree….but a birthday tree. [...]

Naughty Cookie Parties

This weekend my sister Sar is throwing a cookie party. The Mannix girls have always had Christmas cookie parties for as long as I can remember. However, this year we are opening it up to friends. They have never been your “typical” baking parties. Well, come to think about it….me in the kitchen? SCARY! However, [...]

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Yea, so it is nearing my favorite Holiday. Not just because it is Christmas, but because it is my birthday on Christmas too! What better of a present could Mom have asked for?   (Speechless, right? No snide comments from my sisters….OR Hubby!)
Not only is it great because it is my birthday, Christmas, and [...]
