Weekend Wrap Up and A Little Bit of Rewind ...

We had a fantastically laid back weekend.  My favorite.  Friday night we went to our good friends house, had Italian fish (i.e. pizza, big inside joke b/t me and the Milams, it's a long story) and played some Wii Resort.  Which. is. way. fun.  Saturday we, along with my brother and silly, went to my parent's house and had a fantastic steak dinner and watched our Boys beat the smack outta the Eagles.  Which was awesome.  And, tonight we grilled burgers on the new charcoal grill, watched The Soloist, each of us with our candy of choice (it was going to be The Hangover, but we figured we may as well make use of our Netflix, since we're now the proud owners of The said Hangover).  Milk Duds was my choice.  Which I am still enjoying.  Because they won't come loose of my teeth.  Maybe THAT'S where my FIVE cavaties (now fillings) came from ... BUT moving right along, it was a great weekend.  And speaking of great weekends and evenings, I just uploaded a few pictures off my camera and realized I didn't share a visual of what we did on New Year's Day.  I may not even have told you what we did. It WAS, in fact, over a week ago and I can't remember if I ate breakfast today or not ... Anywho, we went to my momma's house, that's what we did.  And ate black eyed peas (which I've never really understood whom, exactly, decided those are lucky.  Why couldn't they say twinkies were lucky?  Cause Heaven knows I'd for sure get my luck in on New Year's, shoot maybe several days out of the year, if it were twinkies that brought good luck)  Here is a pictoral look at our New Year's Day festivities all at my mom and step-dad's new casa ...

(Bentley by the "casual" Christmas tree)

(The goodies after dinner.  I could eat my Mama's home-made banana pudding all dang day ... but I'm not sure my hiney would appreciate it ... mainly because it would have to squeeze itself into my pants ...)

(Me, (and my tan) my cuz Britney ... and the 982 Christmas cards on my mom's fridge ...)

(Me and my love and our tans)

(Me, my Mama (and my tan) and my sausage-like legs that are at an obviously AWESOME angle coming AT the camera.  Look up the word flattering in the dictionary, this picture is what you'll find ...)

(Bentley lookin' all cute n' stuff)

(Me, (and my tan) my cuz Erica and another awesome football-shoulder angle of me.  ... Dog?  What dog?  I don't have a white lab that leaves white bits of fur all over any and all black clothing I own ... ?  I know not what you speak of ... And I'm flaring my nostrils.  Neigh.)

And that's it.  New Years is (as is Thanksgiving, Easter, Christmas, Christmas Eve, President's Day ... kidding ... but seriously) a family affair.  All the cuz's.  All their spouses.  All their kiddos (if they have any).  All the family is present.  And I love it.  Happy (late) New Year from my family to yours!!!

Oh and PS - I make a point to point out my tan due to the fact that it's virtually non-existent anymore ... this was the day after we got back ... it lasted a good week my friends.  Nice huh?  Now I'm just trying to force it back w/ bronzer, too much I might add, making me end up looking like a blonde "Snookie" from Jersey Shore ... NOT so much a look I want to achieve ...
