Adios 2011!

2011 has been filled with blessings. 

Coy started a new job. I finished my fourth year of teaching.  I started my Master's degree in Occupational Therapy.  We celebrated our first wedding anniversary.  My sister got married.  We levelled our house...the first step in fixing it up.  We joined a LIFE group at church and participated in the Supper 8 club.

Looking forward to 2012!

Christmas

We went to church on Christmas Eve.  Growing up, this is one of the things that I looked forward to most. 

On Christmas day, we went over to Coy's mom's house to celebrate with his family.  Our nephews were cute opening their presents.  They each got almost identical gifts...overalls and lots of trucks! 

Later that afternoon, we drove to Houston.  All of my family was waiting around for us to arrive.  We opened presents and grazed on all of the Pinterest treats that my sister made.

And this was Coy's most anticipated gift this year.  I call it his "Elmer Fudd" hat.  The flaps fold down to keep his ears warm when he's out feeding cows and working outside.

Since Coy bought a tractor a few weeks ago and I'm getting a deep freezer, we didn't buy each other gifts this year. 

Merry Christmas!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!

Here's our tree.  We sucked it up and bought a fake one this year.  However, I miss the smell of a fresh one, so it might be the only year we use it.

 I had intentions of making stockings this year, but with school and everything else, it just didn't happen!

 We each pick out a new ornament each year.  Coy even went to Hobby Lobby with me.  Can you tell which one he picked out?
