I Said It's Great to be an Auburn Tiger!

Ok, this is backtracking even further, but I wanted to share our trip to the plains for the second time in the season (November). But first, we took a detour to Lagrange, GA where my bestie currently resides! So of course I had to come down and check out her and Patrick's beautiful new house...

and celebrate their ENGAGEMENT!!!

(ps stay tuned for another exciting engagement - post coming soon)

That's right, my best friend is getting married! And I could not be more excited!!! This wedding season is going to be so fun!! August 2011 here come the Spinks!

Continuing my tour of Lagrange...

It was such a cute town

We had lunch at this little pub downtown

Then is was off to Auburn to watch our tigers play

But we made time for a quick photo op, of course!

Hubs and I met on campus waaay back in 2003

They're getting MARRIED! :)

Love walking on Auburn's campus

The famous Toomer's Corner - just waiting to be rolled after a big win

More of our table(s) -- so fun!

Then we were up bright and early to start gameday off right -- breakfast, mimosas, and celebrating Sarah Beth's birthday...
What could be more fitting than football donuts!?

Happy birthday to you!

And the cutest Tiger cupcake for the birthday girl!

And here we are on campus for our very first (will be annual) Peanut Gallery tailgate!
Thanks Kristin for making this happen! It was the perfect set up!

This called for a toast!

All the peanuts!! Love love every one of these girls and it was such a blast to be back on campus all together again! I have the best group of friends :).

Me and Tay watching the Tiger Walk

After a long day of tailgating we decided to have chauffeur peddle us to dinner!

Quick Christmas Recap

Wow, it's been way too long since I've posted! Now that iPhoto is working again - wahoo!- I hope to be posting more regularly again.

So I know I'm waaay behing on this, but I wanted to give a quick Christmas recap:

Annual Girls Christmas Weekend is when we get together for a whole weekend of holiday fun - just the girls! It kicks off Friday with a pizza dinner and Christmas movie night, Saturday morning brunch, afternoon Angel tree shopping for two special kiddos, Saturday night dinner out, and then hitting the town...

Instead of buying gifts for each other we buy for children in need - love this tradition

Ready for dinner

on our way

The whole group at dinner

Before Ryan and I headed out of town we designated Christmas Eve Eve as our day -- just the three of us. We opened our stockings, made mulled wine, walked around downtown Franklin to see all the Christmas lights, shopped for an ornament (a tradition we've started), cooked dinner, and relaxed on the couch in front of the fire.

Sadie peeking at her goodies :)

Then it was off to Huntsville! Ryan and I had a great time with our family and friends over the Christmas holiday. And to top it off we even got snow on Christmas day -- in Alabama!

Waking up Christmas morning - whoa!

Driving to my parents.. just a little scary

Since we had to go over the mountain!

But we made it!

And to Ryan's Mom's after that!
Why am I so bad at taking pictures during the holidays?? Anyway, hope got to spend quality time with your families this year! I'm already looking forward to next year!
