Christmas 2009

Dallas apparently hasn't had a white Christmas since 1975 so I had to make sure to take lots of pictures of Christmas 2009 so I can tell Little Man he has seen a white Christmas, even if he doesn't remember it.

This was our house on Christmas Eve after it had been snowing a few hours.

We went to my parent's house for Christmas Eve dinner (we usually go out for Mexican but stayed inside thanks to the weather and had fajitas)...this is their backyard.

The front of my parent's house...I was covered after being out there for only a minute!

Our house Christmas Eve.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Wait! I'm not dreaming...pictures to come later today!

Sad day

Yesterday was a sad day in our household. I knew this day would probably come during our married lifetime but I guess I was hoping that it didn't happen so quickly. Yes folks, Husband lost his wedding ring. After giving it to him (engraved with my birthday and our anniversary and all) over 4 years ago, he went pheasant hunting in Joplin, MO and left his ring on the TV in his hotel. What's sad is the cleaning crew took it and were probably thinking they'd net more than $10 from pawning it but we thought about the possibility of him losing his ring and this is why we got a cheap ring. What's funny is how Husband chose to tell me he lost the original symbol of our love. When he got back on Sunday, I was in a mood b/c I had dealt with a sick baby all weekend and he was getting drunk and shooting things...not a fair trade. Instead of telling me Sunday, he told me he had bad news on Monday when I got home from work...I was confused b/c he had a ring on. The man actually went out Monday and bought a new ring that looked EXACTLY the same sans the engraving. His original ring was a 10 1/2 but the new one is a 10...the 10 1/2 would have taken 2 weeks to order and he wanted one that day! Any suggestions on what I should engrave in this one?
