I'll copy that!

I went to our neighborhood bunko ornament exchange party on Tuesday. My friend, Laura, was the host this year and she did an outstanding job. Everything had a holiday touch from the veggie tray, cookies, homemade chocolates in the shapes of Santas and Christmas tree, and sugared candy canes for the hot cider. It was all so cute, I made sure to take a few pictures to put on my blog....

Geaux Hogs!!!

We watched the Hog’s game next door at Shawn and Stacy’s (not pictured) along with her family from Tulsa: Greg, Michelle, and Ashley. They had to head home mid-game and missed the triple overtime win over LSU. Our friends, huge LSU fans, which live at the entrance of our neighborhood (incidentally is one of the most juvenile places to live in this town) will have a little surprise waiting in their yard and front porch when they return from their trip to see the game in Baton Rouge. Just for the record, Jason and I had NOTHING to do with this prank, but I couldn’t help documenting it for blog purposes!

Thanks-Mexi-Christmas

This year for Thanksgiving we had Mexican food rather than the traditional turkey spread. Jason and I got there a little early and helped Mom & Dad put up their Christmas tree which resulted in a variety of Holidays that were represented. Dad made fajitas and Jason and I brought cheese enchiladas, green salsa, and his “famous” salsa. The adults were going to play a little domino tournament but we made dirt cups and domino towers instead…how fun!!!

Pig Sooie!

Yesterday we went to the Razorback game with Tonya & Kevin at War Memorial Stadium. We got there early to do a little tailgating and visit with friends. We had pretty good seats and I noticed an Arkansas icon on the sidelines. He was swarmed with people wanting pictures, so unlike my usual photo opportunity hungry self, I refrained from participating in all of that.

ILS Thanksgiving Dinner

Tuesday was our annual dinner that we provide to the Independent Living Services. This year I didn't actually cook anything, but I did roll the silverware....We served around 250 people and they were very appreciative of the meal.

Game Day

We went to Tonya and Kevin's to watch the Razorback game; here are some pictures from the gathering...

Turkey Trees

I was given the task of decorating the food table for our monthly JA meeting. We were serving Mexican, but I decided a Turkey/Christmas centerpiece was just the thing...here's the pic...

Weekend on the go with guests

This weekend Jason's parents came into town and it was non-stop action the entire time. The boys played golf on Friday while the girls were treated to pedicures and massages. On Saturday we went to "Dazzle Daze" and then for BBQ at Whole Hog Cafe. They are accustomed to Texas style BBQ and just couldn't understand why in the world you would put slaw of a sandwich. We played a few rounds of baggo and then went to dinner at http://www.capeo.us/ which is one of my favorite places to eat in LR. We enjoyed having them here and getting a good visit in!

Treats please!

Our neighborhood is typically hard hit by trick-or-treaters to the point there is no worry about having left over candy the following day. We had to turn our lights out at 8:20 which was fine because the kids were getting older; some that may have been just shy of voting age. Here are a few of our friends kiddos...I just loved the Elvis costume but the little guy was anxious to get as much candy as possible and had very little patience for picture taking. Avery, the cowgirl, had some big news for Jason. On her last visit he told her that she shouldn't suck her thumb anymore and hasn't done it a single time since her visit. She seemed very proud to tell him, and I thought it was pretty remarkable that was all it took to break the habit!
