Jones Family Christmas!

I cannot believe that Christmas came so quickly this year. It really snuck up on me. I have to admit that I was a kind-of a scrooge at the beginning of December. I was not ready for all of the hustle and bustle of the Holidays. I had to change my tune, when both my daughters told me, "it's Jesus' birthday mom!" They made me remember that Christmas is not only about shopping and finding the perfect gift, but remembering our Savior's birth. 

For the past five years, my dad has displayed this awesome reminder on his lawn. He puts a manger up on the yard with baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and the Angel. He actually let the girls help him set it up this year. They loved it! I posted some pics below of the girls and the beautiful manger scene. Thank you for showing us what Christmas is all about, Papa!

We spent Christmas Eve at Nene and Papa's house. We had a great time. My brother and sister-in-law came with their kiddos. We ate and opened gifts. Thank you for everything, Mom and Dad!

Jas and I stayed up very late Christmas Eve. We had to prepare the house for Santa to come. He did come and the girls were so excited. Kylie kept running into our room (at 7:30 a.m.) saying, "Santa came!" I have to say that the Jones Fam had an awesome Christmas. We are looking forward to a great 2009 year!

Ky was so excited about her Sharpay golf cart.

Santa brought Marleigh a Fancy Nancy dress!

Dancing Queens!

Wow! I cannot believe that it has been two weeks since my last post. We have been so busy! I have so much to blog about that I am going to do two posts tonight. Crazy Huh! 

The girls had their dance "show-off" night. Kylie has been in dance for 2 1/2 years now. She takes an hour and a half of tap, ballet, and jazz. She loves it. We were very proud of her. I sarted Marleigh this year, because I could hardly keep her out of Ky's class last year. She does an hour of ballet, tap, and tumbling. She is such a Diva at dance. She was cracking us up! My mom and Jason were both able to come. It was a fun night.

Stay tuned for a Jones family Christmas post.

It's Official...

Jason is a Red Raider!!!!

We received Jason's acceptance letter and this awesome certificate yesterday. He was so excited. I wish I had my camera with me when he saw it. He was on cloud nine! I am so proud of everything he has accomplished. He's a great husband and dad, and now he is a Red Raider. What more could a girl ask for?

We have a busy weekend ahead. The girls and I will be attending three birthday parties on Saturday. Jason plans on hanging up lights on the outside of the house. We will also be celebrating my mom's birthday on Sunday! Whew, I hope I can make it! I have been trying to get sick.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Thanksgiving Blessings!

Nonna and her boys!!

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving. Nonna and Uncle J. traveled from Oklahoma to visit us. Bekah was not able to make it, but we sure do miss and love her. Nonna and I cooked up a storm on Thursday morning. We made pies, cakes, and salads. Everything turned out great. We ventured out that evening to my mom and dad's house. My brother and his fam came. We ate and then played an exciting game of Cranium. What a wonderful evening. We have had some ups and downs this year, but the Lord has blessed us in so many ways. I thank you, Lord, for blessing us with our awesome family and friends!!!

Fancy Marleigh's Birthday Party!

Happy Birthday Marleigh! It was 5:30 p.m. on November 17th when Marleigh Kay Jones was born. I cannot believe it has already been 3 years since that awesome day. She was 9 pounds 7 ounces of sweet girl! We love her so much and we are excited to see her grow.

We had her party on Saturday at Ready-Set-Go. She loves Fancy Nancy books and so we had a Fancy Marleigh party. Twenty Nine of her friends came to celebrate. We are so blessed to have wonderful friends and family. I asked her what her favorite part was and she told me, " playing with my friends!" Thank you to everyone who came and to all of you that helped me wrangle up 29 kids! I will post a slide show with all of the party pics when I figure out how!

I received a phone call tonight from my brother-in-law. He is preparing to come to town on Friday to watch the Tech-ou game. ( Did'nt want to capitalize ou!) He says he is going to sport his ou gear. Jason and I are afraid for his safety. We told him he has to leave it at home! I told him that I know several stores that we can find Tech gear! If you are a Tech fan out there, will you please leave my brother-in-law (J.) a message?

I hope all of you have a wonderful week.
