In Biznass!

Well, it's official! We are in business! We are no longer on anyone else's payroll...scary and so exciting! WHOOOHOOO!

Round up the Trees!

We decided to store our Christmas tree in the corral until we take it to the recycling place! Here's Molly helping Matt with the tree....

See how rocky the corral is? We're not sure what to do with it. Any suggestions? So far the winning suggestion is a retirement park for our parents and their mobile homes! heehee

Christmas in NM!

We continued celebrating at our house with both sides of parents!

Set table for New Year's Eve dinner....and Matt and I toasting (beer bottle vs. Waterford glass -- heehee).

Christmas in Michigan!

We had a great visit in Michigan with Dean and Grandma Fleharty. We had a nice dinner out on Christmas Eve, went to church, and opened presents. While we were there, Detroit broke a temp. record at 56 degrees....no snow for us! The neighborhoods up there organize and coordinate their decorations for Christmas Eve. They put out luminarias all along the street and move their cars into the driveways so passers-by can see the full effects...Gorgeous! Come on other states...we should do that too!

We flew to Dallas on Christmas day, but one of the legs on our original flight got canceled!! We ended up being re-routed to Newark and then on to Dallas. Most of our actual Christmas day was in the airport :)

Kilgore Family Party

Friday night, the whole Kilgore family (minus Matteo) got together. ASK got some yummy Jones soda (haha - turkey, antacid, etc.)! We ate a ton of snickerdoodles too! Here's a SUPER easy and very tasty recipe:

SNICKERDOODLES
1 Box Yellow Cake Mix
2 Eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Bake @ 350 for 10 minutes, or until they look done!

As usual, we had an entertaining bunch :)

Matt LOVES his boiled peanuts! Kristi and Lex hooked him up with a SIX POUND CAN of boiled peanuts! Hilarious.

Kilgore Cousins

Lex, Kristi, Mylynka, Me, Granny, Kevin & Nahee (Mom was taking the pic)! Since we missed Kevin & Nahee's wedding party, we all got together at Grannys and then went to lunch at El Paseo.
