Christmas

Memories

A friend made a comment concerning Dorito's the other day and so I shared a great memory and Meg of course replied - BLOG IT....

Growing up in the Beard household a tradition formed between Angie and me which we cherised and celebrated every year on New Year's Eve for as long as I can remember. Each year we would collect our Pepsi or Dr. Pepper but mostly Pepsi and our bag of Dorito's and plant ourselves in front of the television to watch Dick Clark and to see the ball drop in Times Square.

It was a time honored tradition which I am certain we will ensure gets passed along to Noah, yes we let Larry Del join in the fun as he came along though I think the bond was more for Angie and me.

So if this New Year's Eve you are at home with your family and you are trying to decide what you should do - well think of the Beard Sister's and go on down to your local store. Grab you a big bag of Dorito's and some Pepsi or soda of your choice and plant yourself with a loved one in front of the television and watch the ball drop in Time's Square. When you are doing so don't be surprised if you don't get a tiny chill and feel as though some of the Dorito's are disappearing for it could be the Beard Sister's taking a few from you....

So don't wait till the last minute - you have 32 days to get stocked up!!

Believe it or not I have taken a day off work, yes today is Monday and I am sitting on the couch working on getting ready to go finish or attempt to finish Christmas shopping! My sister of course is miles away and miles ahead of me on this task so the challenge become mine to complete before Thanksgiving and yesterday I made some headway.

Jake is sitting outside in a pile of leaves, one day I will upload the photo and post, he certainly loves his new backyard - one he knows he never has to share with cats or dogs.

Excitement is coming to Texas next month, yes the Love's will arrive which means Noah Jacob Love will make his first visit to Texas! Can you tell I love this little guy?! I cannot beleive he is almost eleven months old and is already up on his feet and walking - WOW......

Well no more to say at the moment, sure there is more to say however as noted earlier I must prepare to shop and if you know me well you know this is not a favorite pasttime yet since it involves gifts for others it is not quite so taxing on me....

Have a great week!

November is here and finally I believe fall weather is trying to reach us here in Texas. The mornings are cool but we are still warm in the afternoon, not that I mind and am hoping we have beautiful weather at Christmas for it will be fun going to a park with Noah Jacob Love!

Guess I will have to let his parent's tag along - just no escaping them with my handsome little nephew.

Angie sent an e-mail earlier this week allowing a sneak peak at the newest photos taken by Liz and I have to say everytime I see a new photo of Noah my heart melts, he has the cutest little smile and those eyes.....

Come on December 23rd!!!!!!!
