Playing Catch Up

Holy crap!  Where has the time gone?!?!  I posted about Christmas and disappeared!

Well, right after Christmas is Melissa & Sarah's birthday and they turned 25!  We actually got graced by the presence from 2 of our cousins and one of their girlfriends the day before their actual birthday so we decided to celebrate while they were in town.  

Adam and Ben making sure our hamburgers are good and seasoned!  Brotherly chefs in the making!

Of course, we had to start out celebrating with one of our favorites - whiskey sours!!

 

If you have never had one of these, you are missing out.  They are beer drinkers, but we had them drinking these all night long!

In a Blender - 

1 Can of Frozen Lemonade

1/3 or 1/2 of the Can of Whiskey (Virginia Gentleman is the Best!)

Fill the Blender to the Top with Ice & Blend

Delicious and you can change up the lemonade to your preference.  We had a different one each time!

Of course, the twin's birthday would not be the same if we didn't have ice cream balls and funfetti cake!

Then it was time for some Yahtzee!

I will go ahead and tell you that I always have to put a stupid 0 in the Yahtzee spot!!

We had a blast celebrating Melissa and Sarah's birthday with our cousins!  There was never a dull moment and continuous laughing definitely took place!

Christmas Has Come & Gone

Wow, where did 2013?  It was just Thanksgiving not too long ago & now Christmas has come and gone.  We had a great Christmas this year!  Nothing gets better than spending quality time with the ones you love.

Our other grill started rusting and falling apart so I was super excited about this.  I love to grill no matter what the weather may be like and gives us so many more dinner options!

 

Putting this bad boy to use quite a bit here lately.  Now just waiting on camera strap cover to come in!

 

This is amazing!!  What can I say - great dinners, great photos and great sleep!

 

This is the coordinates to our home address.  Love it!  I bought another one of her designs to hang side by side for a mini collage in the living room.  Designer is Jenna Sue Designs.  She is awesome!

 

 

Christmas dinner consisted of grilled lobster tail, prime rib, twice baked potatoes, green beans & mushroom gravy!

 

And then played some Yahtzee!  How is it that dad always wins and gets stupid Yahtzees?!?!  Zero for me everytime in that spot!!

 

It was a great Christmas and now onto 2014!! What will this year have in store for us??

 

60 Years & Counting

Wow, what a weekend!  This past Sunday, Cody's family gave his nannny & papa a 60th wedding anniversary party.  That's right, 60 years y'all!  They are true Southerners and two of the kindest people you will ever meet.  Nanny and papa are always doing for others so it was nice to able to do something for them.  I think this is probably the first time nanny didn't actually have to cook for something!

Nanny's sister catered the party in true Southern fashion - chicken, mac & cheese, a bean bar, coleslaw, & cobblers.  It was absolutely delicious!

The entire family before the party started!

Brothers & Sisters

Nanny's boss - She still gets up every morning Tuesday - Saturday to go and make biscuits!

There was a huge turn out and the party was great!  We are estimating about 200 people showed up.

Happy 60th Wedding Anniversary!
