Tacky Christmas and Weekend Recap

The weekend started off well enough - Bill had his poker night at the house on Friday night while I had a shopping trip with Julie and dinner and a Christmas light tour with Geri, Rodney and Glenda. Saturday was a fairly lazy day and then we went to Second Baptist's Saturday night service to hear our neighbor, Carlee, sing in the Kid's Choir - and missed her performance by about 90 seconds! We were so disappointed:( But, the Second worship team did an AMAZING service and Carlee got to sit with us, so that was nice. We did a little Christmas shopping and had dinner after.

Sunday was our first annual Tacky Christmas Party! It was so much fun! We had fun group, some from work and some from church. Everyone seemed to really enjoy seeing and/or meeting each other and everyone ate way too much! I think I over did it on appetizers and Bill definitely over did it on dinner! But it was all so good! So here are the long awaited Tacky Christmas pictures. We had quite a variety of get-ups!

Troy and Greta went for "cheesy" in their matching sweaters;=)

Noah's t-shirt was light-up! VERY tacky!

Regina and Kevin went for a slightly more "cheesy" theme also.

Julie and David went all-out bling! 3 light up pins on David's tie and Julie's necklace and earring blinked!

Bill's tie lights up and sings - an old birthday gift from Grandma Betty. It's a classic!

Jacque, Matt (the mistletoe inspector!) and AnnMarie (hiding in Jacque's belly)

The kids! Reese and Noah

Noah and me in my full ensemble - rhinestones on my shirt? check! sequence on my skirt? check!

Tammy and Eric (1987 Bill Cosby tacky!)

All in all it was a great weekend - with the exception of the monster cold I woke up with this morning! My husband was nice enough to go to the store for some Nyquil, Kleenex and bread (just b/c we were out and I need some for tomorrow). But he came back with Kleenex brand dinner napkins!! LOL! Oh, well! 2 out 3 ain't bad, right??? Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and I can't wait to hear about everyone's holiday!

Football, BBQ and Poker

We actually had a pretty busy weekend! I know you all find that hard to believe! Well, Friday night was friends night. Bill had a poker night with some of our friends from our old Bible study class. He didn't win, but had a lot of fun. Apparently, we are hosting the next one! While he was playing poker, I went to Chuy's with Stacie, Katie, Lexi (Stacie's niece), and Matt and Jacque Johnson. After dinner Stacie, Katie, Lexi and I went to meet Danny Bode at the Huffman football game. It had been so long since I'd been to a high school football game! It was so much fun and a total blowout for Huffman, which was great to see. However, it was pretty cold. When I got home I realized I hadn't taken any pictures (too cold to take my hands out of my pockets!), so Noah took one with me when I got home:)

Saturday after golf (for Bill) and Christmas shopping (me) we had some friends over for a BBQ. It was so great to have so many of our friends together at one time. Everyone had so much fun and at plenty. The party was completely divided between guys and girls, so we all got to catch up with each other. Though, that totally changed when the guys came inside. It was hard to talk over those rowdy boys! But we can't wait to do it again and hopefully extend the guest list.

Noah and I after Friday night football - I blacked out to support the home team!

After dinner Noah wanted to sit at the table like grown-up:)

Aubree Michelle Kesner made her first visit to the Hamrick house! Can't wait to have her back!

Noah and Aubree bonded, she's his new bff

Lots of things are coming up in the next couple months, so we should have much to share! We are going to try to go support Atascocita at their playoff game on Thursday (I think Bill is a little jealous I got to go to a football game, lol), we have my cousin Britney's baby shower, Paw Paw RJ's 75th birthday party, Celina and Aaron's babyshower, Thanksgiving, LSU/Arkansas, and the list goes on....I'll try to take lots of pictures to share with everyone. Hope you all have a great week, too!
