It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

There is this awesome street right by our mall and every single house is decorated down the whole block. (my dream, I want to live on a street where EVERYBODY decorates with Christmas lights someday, no scrooges allowed!) We decided to take a walk down the block.

All she kept saying was "Oh WOW" then she'd point at everything and say "What's this, what's this" ha!


Big eyes of amazement!



When we got home Brielle felt the need to pick up Neely, haha she's never done that before.

Neely was sooo patient!



It's time to put up the tree........

 

My Christmas wreath, I added some finishing touches.

 

My new Christmas treats tray

 

Landon's little cousin Nick's tower o' presents!

 

Loving the wrapping paper I found this year! I love wrapping gifts!

 

It wouldn't be Christmas without Christmas outfits! I love Holiday themed outfits on kids!

 

 

 

 

We adopted a 2 year old little girl (of course) off the angle tree this year! I so wish we could see her face when she opens the ride on ATV!

 

We stopped at a new sandwich place on the way to drop off our angle tree goodies.

 

Brielle had rash on her hand from where she sucks her thumb at night and when I pointed it out she said "I'm sorry" to herself and then kissed her own owie haha!

 

 

 

 

Our small group at church volunteers at a foster type/safe home for children, we all pitched in and got them 2 wii's... one for the girl house and one for the boys.

 

We took 8 dozen cookies along with sprinkles, chocolate chips and icing for the kids to decorate for Christmas. I wasn't allowed to post any pics with the kids in them. Most of their parents don't know where they have been taken and most of them were removed from pretty bad situations.

 

Marcus making his own masterpiece.

 

Our kids decorated cookies too!

 

It was sooo fun to see the excitement of the kids opening the wii!

 

 

Cousinly love

Since Natalies been in town we have been trying to spend some good quality time together, We took a trip to Lubbock for some shopping and fun!

I got Brielle this cute little dress from Crazy 8, wish we had one of those!

I also scored these adorable boots for her, hopefully they will fit next year too! Uggs are my all time favorite shoes for little girls in the winter, they look cute with everything and most importantly keep their little feet so warm!

Cutest firefighters ever!

Sad that it was necessary to print this on the bag.


Before we headed back we stopped at Cheddar's for some snacks and drinks

Our pick me ups for the drive home


Naturally we planned a Kourtney and Kim take New York night together.

Natalie and Trent had us over to their hotel and they cooked for us!

Nothing like a little wine, some homemade authentic Italian food and sopapilla cheesecake!

I love the Kardasians, I get their sense of humor and laugh through every episode, love their style (clothes, fingernail polish, hair, makeup) and how close they are to their family, reminds me of mine. I also love that even as pretty as they are they aren't afraid to act silly together in front of others ...I also like that though they are crazy they have some conservative thinking and were raised that way (did you know Kim always tithes her 10%!), but don't get me wrong, they are not my heros, I'm not a little kid and I know what a good role model is...there are some things I wish they just wouldn't do.


Super excited about the food!!!!!

Kardashian quote of the night "When I get older, I'm living alone!"

Austin/Gustin Thanksgiving

Mini Thanksgiving with friends.

There are actually 4 of us in this picture!!! Surprise! It's not me! My friend Jessi on the left is expecting in June! I'm voting girl!

My mom called us while we were at dinner and said Brielle had thrown up, so she slept with me that night, bless her heart she through up 9 times that night but was just fine the next day. I was kinda glad to just have a 24hr illness, usually it's croup that last for weeks!

Before we could go to sleep though we had to introduce all of her friends to the camera, this is Bubba,

this is Lion,

and Elmo!

Sunday we had Thanksgiving with Landon's mom's side of the family.
They decided to have Mexican food since everyone was probably sick of turkey by then (except me, I could eat thanksgiving food all year long, even if we do have the same thing at every gathering, it still all tastes different because different people made it!) I don't like Mexican food unless it's homemade and it was delicious!!!

Of course it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without skyping Kaytie!
I am so Thankful for skype, and the ability to still get to see my sister in law from time to time and that she can see Brielle as well. We miss her so much!

After skype we played several rounds of catch phrase and we just laughed and laughed but I got sooo into the game I forgot to take any pictures! ugh I was so mad at myself!

I am so blessed with the life I have and I greatly appreciate all the blessings the Lord has given me!

Kornegay/Thomas Thanksgiving

I am sooo Thankful for my family! I love my sisters, mom, Aunt and cousins sooooo very much! I have more fun with them than anyone else and we are all a little crazy which makes us feel normal when we get together haha! Our favorite hobby is clothes and we love dressing up for our family events! I am blessed!

Did I mention how much I love these boys too! Couldn't have asked for better men in our family, and handsome as well! They are especially fun to pick on too!



I'm also super Thankful for this guy (the one on the right, not left haha J/k)
Colton has been gone a year serving our country in Iraq. How blessed we are to have him home safe! We owe it all the God for looking after him for us. My heart is at peace. (This is one of my favorite pictures, they both looks sooo cute!)

Nothing better than a bunch of casseroles, my favorite!

Critter and Nancy

The kid and Dawey

My daddy, he's not mad...this is how he always looks....well maybe he's annoyed with all these girls in his house haha!

Of course it wouldn't be a holiday without Brielle getting a present, Aunt Sherry Ann and Uncle James got her some adorable outfits!


I love how she gets excited about clothes!

From my favorite store, The English Rose of course!

The love of my life!


What I'm most thankful for.........

James and Sherry Ann

Now it's Guesstures time!!!!!!
I think Landon's fist pumping!

If my mom knew I posted this she'd flip ha!

I think Trent is about to get attacked by his own hand ha!

Uncle Mark even joined in.
