Christmas

Christmas this year was pretty fun. Bryan and I met in OK for a quick day of my family stuff. Love coming home, it is one of the best, most warm feelings in the world. I've got 2 pretty good sets of parents!! Here's my mom's tree and fire place-don't have one of those here. Love being with my family. I am really blessed to have sister-in-laws that I love. And, I basically got to spend a full day with my brother. He was here sans girlfriend, so we got all the attention. He was in such a good mood and I just cherish time like this. He is such a neat guy, just wish he lived in OK.





After exchanging gifts with both OK families, we hopped in the car to big MO. We had essentially four Christmases with Bryan's family. He has so many relatives and they are all so close! Neat to see, one of the perks of a small town. The other nice part of coming home to B's fam, is how they all roll out to see him. The get together was an ugly sweater party this year. Bryan bought ours online. Thought they were pretty cute, given
the options. The best part about his was that when he bought it,
it said unisex-clearly this is not a man's sweater. It was perfect. I had to add the side pony to add a little flair to mine, to keep up!
















Here are the runner up, Bryan's cousin Kenny, and the winner, his uncle Zeke!

We headed back to OK for a couple more days of family time. Since I blog about NYC food, I had to about my OK food too. Tuesday night we met my dad and Kim at MamaVecas. Great Peruvian food, great beer (they serve the big schooners with lime on the edge), great salsa and great service.

During dinner Kim told me about a skin care line at Target called No.7. It is supposed to be the best money can buy, and it is not crazy expensive. So as a pre-new years resolution, I bought it and vowed to actually use it. Hope it    

works!!
