Christmas 2008

This Christmas Jon, Sequoia and I went to NC to spend the Holiday with his family. We had a wonderful time with family, friends, and food.













Audra enjoyed her very first Christmas! Here she is with her Mommy and Daddy getting ready to open up her presents.















The element of surprise always makes for the best pictures. Christmas in the Brinson house was full of surprises! In the end we all ended up with great memories and fun gifts.

Tanglewood Park

On our way home from NC we took a detour through Tanglewood Park. The park was decorated with A LOT of lights.

Woof Woof Woof

Sequoia wanted to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Tis the Season

For Ugly Sweaters!!


The Ugly Sweather party was a ton of fun, even though most of us were dressed in goodwill clothing! There was good food, beer pong, wine, friends and a bunch of ugly sweaters, what more could you ask for?








Julie and Patrick were the host and hostess!!











Lauren and Sam won the ugliest sweater contest!

Family

Thanksgiving in NJ

Thanksgiving was a ton of fun. We flew into NJ on Tuesday night and stayed until Sunday morning. Our time was filled with food, family, football and fun.

On Wednesday me and my boys, Jon, Brad, and Sean, went out for some late night party time at Club 66. The place was crowded but we had a great time!

Turkey day was filled with food and family! Jon said grace then we all pigged out and watched football! I did not get a chance to see two of my very best friends, I hope they know how much I miss them. Dani and Jean, I love you.

Football in ATL

Better late than never right?

Jon and I joined some friends at the football game on Sunday November 23!! We had a great view from our 1st set of seats and an even better view from our second set of seats.

It was a day filled with fun and games! We parked on the roof of a parking deck with our very own generator to run the satellite TV, we don't want to miss any of the other games now do we?!?!?!? It was a cold walk to the dome but toasty inside.

Girls Night Out!

"Girls Just Want To Have Fun!"

Our tradition continues and what a good time it is! Good food, good drinks, good friends, and of course girl talk.

Audra

Here she is! Audra is a cute 6 pound baby girl who sleeps a lot!

Uncle Jon was scared to hold her! He did, long enough to get a picture and give her a sweet kiss.

Audra, one week old, and her Daddy! Don't you just love the frogs!!

Happy Halloween!

Better late than never!

Jon and I celebrated Halloween twice!! Once on Friday and then again on Saturday. Yes we wore the same costumes for both nights :)

Incase you can't figure it out I am the ref and Jon is the B-Ball player, he is the character from a movie and I don't recall the name of it right now (sorry).

Uncle Jon

Jon is now Uncle Jon!
His sister gave birth to a baby girl on Friday October 31, 2008. Little baby Audra came into this world at 6lb 3oz and 19in. Both mother and baby are doing fine. I will post pictures next week end as we will be leaving this Friday to visit the new addition to the family!

BOG!!

For those of you who don't know Jon and I have been playing in an adult kickball league for the past year!! The games get heated and fights break out but hey we're all adults :)

There are a lot on people who share our passion for acting like children and we have made some awesome Friends!

Go BOG, AKA Balls of Glory!!

For Mom

Our dining room is not close to being complete but here it is. I also included a nice photo of my new place mats and napkin holders! Don't forget to notice the new hardwood floor!

Back in Our Home

Our home is not close to complete but we have been back in for 3 months now so I thought it would be a good time to share a photo! Before we even got back into our home Jon decided that he wanted a new T.V. This T.V. was not going to be just any it had to be a 50 in plasma!! Well, we did not have a piece of furniture that would hold a T.V. of this size! So I purchased a new entertainment center for the living room and I love it!! Please remember that we did all of this before we got back into our home, smart right?!?!?!

Hello Again!

Jon and I recently had some fun at the Cumming County fair! We watched pigs race, logs cut at the saw mill, walked through an Indian village, ate some potato fries, and of course COTTON CANDY!!

Inside the "Dwelling"

Go Piggies Go!!

Baby piggies like to race too!

It got a bit windy, but was a ton of fun!!

Happy Birthday Sean!

Sean is 40! The party was a blast and it was great to be home!

Enjoy the pictures! We had a pig to eat and lots of beer along with some wonderful salads made by family members and friends. Special thanks to Mom and Grams! Also the cake was great, hand made by Aunt Moe!!

Okay birthday boy BLOW!


Water guns are always fun!!
