Happy Birthday, Christmas, Anniversary Babe!

A few months ago, I started thinking about what to do for Eric. Not only were Christmas and his birthday coming up, but also our 15 year wedding anniversary. I wanted to do something special for him this year. He has been so supportive this year. So, I had qualified for an extra bonus with SLAH, so, I decided to save my money as surprise him. At first, I was just going to drive us to the airport, and not tell him, but a couple of weeks before, I chickened out, and told him. :) He was so excited!

I had got a Cowboys package, that got us to stay at the Gaylord Texan, an autograph session, go to a pre-game party at the corral, game tickets, and then back the next day to tour the stadium, and locker room! We had such a great time! It also helped that we beat the pants off the Giants!!! How 'bout them Cowboys!!!

How 'bout them COWBOYS!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...how lovely are your branches

Every year I envision a beautifully decorated tree, full of ribbons and bows, matching ornaments...but, that is not the tree of the Briners. :) The boys are always so excited to decorate the tree! They love going through the ornaments, and remembering them. This year Ethan loved being able to hang them on his own.

This year Eric did also get me a small flocked tree, that I decorated in blue and silver. It was really fun "foofing" it up...but there is nothing like our family tree!

Johnna Briner...Slackerblogger

There is nothing worse than checking your friends blogs....and it's a old post! Yes, I've become one of those friends! Not that you are all dying to read what happens in the Briner house...but it's like therapy for me! We are heading to Dallas this weekend...(gift for hubby...Dallas game...a whole 'nother blog) and I will be updating next week. :) Don't take me off your blogging friends list yet!!! ;)

Oh Christmas Cards, Oh Christmas Cards...

I am so excited about all of the great pictures of the boys! A friend of mine, Candice Wagenlietner, is doing pictures to raise money for their upcoming adoption of a little girl from Korea! She is great! (As you can tell!) Her phone number is 325-1583.
