Fun times

It's been a while since I updated.  Woops we have been busy! SO I'm going to give a recap.
December 8th I had a Junior League social at this neat wine bar off Rayford Sawdust.  It was fun mingling and enjoying wine with friends.  Here are some snapshots from that night:

Me and Jennifer


The Boys!  I wish you would have seen this pic before I asked Brandon to "squat down"  He is so tall especially standing next to Archie and Jason.  I wish I was tall :( The VanSickle boys are sure to be Superb athletes with their parents height. 

The Ladies


This Is Archie holding Lucas Whitaker.  We had dinner at The Nances and for the first time Archie was willing to hold the baby AND fed him.  Yes this is a milestone.  I'm working on him....

Then Thursday Dec 17th Natalie had her second Annual Naughty & Nice Christmas party.  The Naughty part is because we have a Panty exchange and play the white elephant game.  The nice part is we all bring an unwrapped gift to donate.  It was a great time!  I remember pointing out that last year at the party Allison was pregnant and no one had babies.  This year Four girls have babies and two are pregnant.  Times are changing :)


Tiffany, Jenn, Erin




Good times

Friday Dec 18th I decided to have a Birthday party for all our friends that have Decmber Birthdays, including Archie.  I cooked a Big Yummy Gumbo with Potato salad.  I think it came out great except I cooked way too much!  Here are some pics from that night.


The Birthday Boys and Girls


Blowing out their candles


Archie biting into a brownie bite that i cooked too long.  Had to toss em


My Birthday boy!  And yes I did dye my hair darker this time and I have not yet decided if I like it yet... 

Today (Sunday) I decided to take down the Christmas decorations.  I know its too early but I just felt like it.  We wont be here for Christmas and Archie was here willing to help me put it all back in the attic so I took advantage of the time.  Im kinda a scrooge this year but really for no particular reason.  So we opened our stockings which that was nice.  Mainly so i dont have to keep putting my gift back in my stocking since i have secretly been using the lipgloss Santa put in there for me :)  Archie liked the things Milo and Scooter bought for him too.  I am really looking forward to these next two weeks off.  Wednesday we leave for Lake Charles and come back Sunday.  Saturday the day after Christmas I am helping my mom throw an engagement party for my Best Friend Tiffany In LC and I can not wait to see her to congratulate her in Person.  I am so happy for her and love her like a sister.  I pray one day we will live close enough to visit all the time.  So I guess thats it for now!  Hope everyone is great.  Merry Christmas!  much Love
