Holiday photo purge...

I didn't really recap the holidays, so I thought I'd quickly just purge a bunch of photos from the past couple of weeks. :) I had a great Christmas and New Year, although I felt like it snuck up this year more than it has in previous years. Maybe I say that every year.. hmm...don't go back and check...haha..

Lights at Rhema in Tulsa

Lauren visited from London! I'd been lusting after that faux fur at Banana and finally just splurged. :) I wear it...a lot. Like I had to select the photos so it wasn't in more than just a few in this post...
 Attempts to get the dogs to pose in front of the tree on Christmas Eve...



We gave up and just set the self timer. :)

The dogs liked their presents. :) Eric wants his own chew toy. Obviously.

G helped Eric open presents on Christmas morning...

My mom came over for Christmas breakfast + present opening on Christmas morning :) She wore a Santa hat. It was cute.

We were planning to make the drive to OKC later that day to see Eric's family, but threats of snow and ice made us reschedule OKC for later in the week.
(I love this photo)

So yeah.. those threats of snow and ice that kept us from going to OKC on Christmas? We got nothing. No ice. No snow. Yet this is what we drove in on Friday to get to OKC.. haha.. Sheesh. Oklahoma weather.

At Eric's parents' house. :) The guys all got remote control helicopters as one of their gifts. I'll just let you imagine how much our dogs love the helicopter..haha.. Admittedly, the little copters are pretty cool...even if I always crash it.
Me, Eric, his brother and sister (front) after indoor go-kart racing! I'd never done it! So fun! (And I didn't crash!)

OKC puts up a big snow-tubing ramp- complete with man-made snow- at their ballpark! How cool is that?! $10 gets you all the tubing you want for a couple hours.
 
Since it was like 30 degrees, my rear went a little numb after a few times and we all decided we'd had our fill, but I really want to go again next year! What a cool thing! I wish Tulsa would do it.

Girls night with Jenny and Ashley! Eric drove me...which is a good thing. I'll leave it at that. Oh and if you've had Mi Cocina's mambo taxis, you understand the fun that ensued. :) I think they cap you at three of those suckers.

Cheered on TU in the Liberty Bowl on NYE day

The only photo we took at dinner (thanks Jill! :) ) on NYE with friends. :)

Stopped by a fun little NYE shindig to ring in 2013! I gave it the thumbs up! Or maybe I was giving my cocktail the thumbs up. Or my hat. Not sure. Anyway, good times. :)

And if you're still with me in this randomly long post, I also found a dress I think will work for our rehearsal dinner (yes, I realize that's a ways away). :) And it was on MAJOR SALE in the BCBG area of Dillards! This photo doesn't do it justice really b/c it looks like a summer cotton. It's not. It's a nicer fabric and lays really well. Anyhoo, I was pumped b/c I'd seen this dress on Pinterest and really liked it, but didn't like the price tag.


I'm glad this is a short week b/c I'm having issues getting back in the swing of things. Yesterday, I left my work laptop (that has to be docked at my desk) at home. I got here, sat down, made some hot tea, and then went "Aw crap..." and had to head back home.. Sheez.

Love that dress! Looks like you guys had a great holiday...that tubing ramp looks so fun!

I am totally having a hard time getting back into the swing of things too. I left something very important (ahem breast pump) at home this morning and realized it when I was half way of my 40 minute commute. Ugh!

And our dogs go nuts when my brother bring over his toy helicopter (he's 20, btw... not 8 like it may seem). :)
