It's almost here!

Christmas is less than 2 weeks away! CRAZY! We pretty much have all of our shopping done, except just little odds and ends. It's kind of a bummer though because we look forward to Christmas shopping! This will be our 8th Christmas together and our 4th one married! That is just insane to me!

Time to reminisce...I remember waking up, or Kelli waking me up, and running out to see if Santa had made his pit stop by the Maher's yet. We would check the cookies on the plate and the carrots in the front yard-the reindeer needed to eat too:) Then we would quietly go through our stockings and when we were finished with that, we would then go and wake up our parents!

Now, Kenny and I are making our own traditions. Christmas Eve, we always put on A Christmas Story and wrap everyone's gifts. Christmas Morning, we wake each other up, then depending on if we fell asleep before putting each other's gifts out, we will hurry and put them under the tree before the other one sees:) Then we put on some Christmas music and open our gifts to each other. I love it!

Here is our tree...We do it blue, silver, and white for the Dallas Cowboys:) We can't put any gifts under it because we think Winnie might chew on them.
This is our first ornament we bought together. We got it on our honeymoon in Newport. It's a starfish...just painted...obviously:)

The greatest band EVER!


Kenny and I went and saw ACDC last night! Let me tell you...Angus Young is INCREDIBLE! It was kind of funny because, however long ago the new ACDC cd came out, I was looking at the pictures in it and I had never seen Angus Young (or at least I never realized that was him) and when I saw him I asked Kenny, "You named our dog after that guy?" And I am so proud that is his name because Angus Young is AWESOME! These guys put on a great show! One really funny thing that happened at the show was at one point Angus Young took off his jacket and started being kinda dirty with it...don't really care to explain it...then he did it with his tie, then took off his shirt, and Kenny thought he was gonna pull his shorts down and moon the audience because of the way he had his back towards us, but he didn't. He pulled his shorts down, but had on ACDC boxers that just said ACDC across the butt. Anyway, he is an amazing guitarist and I am so glad that we got the chance to see them in concert! I wanted to sneak my camara in, but that would have sucked if they found it and we would have to walk back to the truck and stuff so I only took one picture right before the concert.

My sister had this picture of Winnie and I thought it was hysterical!

Catching Up...

I don't know where the time goes! It's been a while since we updated this so...I guess the only important thing that has happened lately is Thanksgiving. We had a great one! Spent all day with family and watched football! Cowboys won, which made it even better! We also have been getting ready for Christmas! We have about half of our shopping done, which is kind of a bummer...we love going to the mall around Christmas time, even if we don't find anything for anyone, the atmosphere is just fun to be around! We finally finished getting our lights up too! We started last weekend, but for some reason, some of our lights weren't working. So we finally went and got some more and finished our house today! We will probably do our tree tomorrow night! Kenny also played in a Turkey Bowl last Saturday! I never saw Kenny play football in high school because we started dating in December of his senior year, so by then his season was over. It was fun, even though they went 1 and 2 for the day. He is such a good quarterback! I loved watching him!
