Christmas Past and Present

Merry Christmas to all of you my blog buddies. I hope Santa brings you everything you asked for and that you family is blessed in the new year. I have put a couple of pics from a few old Christmas past and a few from this year. I will post Christmas day pics in a couple of days.
Love the McKinneys

My new do

Ok so I know you are thinking, a bit on the scruffy side. I want you to know that I did nothing ot my hair prior to this apt to get it cut. I wanted the stylist to see my crazy wavy mess so she could pick a good cut for me. So anywho this is what I look like with no hair control. So I wanted a new cut. All of my friends encouraged me to chop it off, so............







I did. I love it right now. Ask me again tomorrow when I have to do this short little do myself and I may have changed my mind.

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...

Our world has really turned festive lately. I love Christmas, I love every bit of it. There is not one thing about it that I don't like. I am typing this with my tree all a glow and Christmas music on the radio, and fudge melting in my mouth. When I get done typing I will return to wrapping. Our Christmas is a tad different this year as we are in TX and all of our Christmas stuff is in a storage shed in Memphis. Reed went to see Santa last night. He was NOT that excited to see him to say the least. (I was expecting this reaction). So as he screamed at him I think he may have mentioned that he wanted a train table. He is more than obsessed with trains right now. He also loves cars and trucks. He can say train very well, but still no mention of "mama". Someday I will be loved. I have attached a couple of pics that I had from trying to get the perfect pic for a card, and some of our make shift home decorations. I will go ahead and wish all of you my faithful blog followers a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! Smiles,Katie

Thanksgiving and Reed's first Aggie game!

Grandpa and all of his granbabies

We went to Houston for Thanksgiving to visit with Nick's family. It was the first time all the cousins were together. We spent the days just enjoying each others company. I made matching shirts and we tried to get some group pics, but Reed is not so much into having his pic taken or being still for them.

Reed at his first Aggie football game. The Aggies lost but it was a great game. Reed loved it and the popcorn.


He watched the game like he knew exactly what was going on.







Attempt at all children-notice Reed running like a wild child.
All the mommies and babies



All the daddies and the babies and Willy
Our happy little family

Wendy, Bret, Sydney, and Colton
I dont have a pic of Sandy's sweet family bc I was taking pics with her camera. opps, don't hate me Sandy.

Sea World

We went to Sea World during our trip to San Antonio a couple of weeks ago. Reed loved most of it, but so very scared of Shamu. We saw the Sesame Street Christmas show, were it actually snowed on us. We also saw a shortened version of The Polar Express in 4D. Our seats vibrated, we were sprayed with water when the train fell in the frozen water and best of all was the puff of hot chocolate smell. Reed loved it because of the traaaaainnnnnnn. Enjoy the pics! It was a fabulous day. The kid in me had the best time.
