Christmas Greetings from The Blackwoods

Limo + Christmas Lights + Friends = Fun

Kelly surprised McKenzi with a limo to take her and her friends around town to look at Christmas lights. Jay, the chauffeur, drove the girls around OKC and to Yukon to view all the spectacular lights in the area. Chesapeake's campus was one of the favorite sites on the tour. The girls had a great time!

'Tis Almost the Season

McKenzi, my mom, and I spent the week getting our house ready for the holidays. I believe this is the earliest in my entire life that I have had my Christmas decorations up and ready to go. My favorite decoration is the front door wreath and swags that we replicated from a picture in the Pottery Barn catalog. I actually think mine looks even better than Pottery Barn's. My mom is so crafty. I'm not sure why I didn't get any of her talent!

Dinner and a Movie

Happy Early 14th Birthday Party for McKenzi!

Albany Lions 1960 State Champs

My dad, along with other members of the 1960 State Football Championship team, were honored at the Albany homecoming last weekend. We enjoyed watching mom and dad reminisce about the good ol' days and share a few laughs with high school friends. McKenzi especially enjoyed hanging out with all the old folks! Albany, Texas is always such a neat place to visit with its unique charm.

Birthday Boy!

Kelly celebrated his 29th birthday today. For his birthday, he wanted this 'toy'. I went to a hobby shop in Dallas to pick it up after a friend of Kelly's had it built for me. I've never been in a toy shop like that before; there were toys for the young and old alike. I'm sure I could have found a lot more fun stuff for the 'big kid' if I would have had time to look around. Anyways, he's enjoying driving the remote control car through the neighborhood and across the golf course. I'm sure the greens keeper is loving it, too!

Who Would Have Thought?

As I was sat perusing a copy of 'Family Circle' magazine in the waiting room of the orthodontist, this is the article I came across.{click on link below}
