Holidays of 2010!

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year

We certainly did!  Thanksgiving was well celebrated at the annual Kornegay Family Reunion on Thanksgiving Day.  We then proceeded to Corpus Christi for the remainder of the weekend to have some relaxation time with family.  During the Christmas preparation time, we were CERTAINLY busy.  It seemed as though we never stopped going or doing.

One of the things we did was attend Cody and Megan Porter’s lovely Ugly Christmas Sweater party!  Want to know what we wore?  Have a look…

That’s right   I’m a little disappointed to say that I borrowed mine from my cousin Ashlee; I love her, but she is marrying a t-sip.  Sadly, we paid money for Henry’s at Walmart, but we then quickly gave it to above said t-sip (Phil).  Haha!  Sweet Michele Guthrie was not impressed when she walked in the house to see what we’d worn to the party.  Cody agreed to take our picture, but had a difficult time doing so.  The above picture is the FINAL result, but here’s some of the messups which do provide some laughter.

This one isn’t Cody’s fault…

Not really a full view of the sweaterness…

Blurry from the laughter than ensued from a picture I shall not post.

Also, catch a glimpse of the classy….girly…matching…PAID FOR AT DILLARD’S sweaters that Michele and Mike wore.

Definitely a fun time at the Porter’s.  Thanks for the fun night!

The next weekend we enjoyed a wonderful pajama party with our bible study group at Stacey and Jason Metts house!  Lots of fun had by all in our white elephant gift exchange of random stuff form your house you want to get rid of.  I ended up with a Brazil T-shirt.  Haha!

The following day we had our carpets cleaned, and they are FABULOUS!  I can’t even believe how great they look.  With some very awesome stuff going on in the Borchard house in January, I definitely needed them to be cleaned.  If you are looking for someone to clean yours in the Houston area, I highly recommend Restore Works of Houston.  My aunt and uncle use them and recommended them to us.

The following Monday, we joined Mindy and Gordon Young, Samantha and Judson Brown, Sarah Koopersmith and Brian Miculka for dinner for Mindy’s birthday.  So exciting to join all of them but cool to see Sarah and Brian while they were in town from Singapore!

During the weeks before Christmas, shocking I know, I was excited to send out our Christmas cards, which are pictured at the top of this post.  I love sending out Christmas cards just a little too much.  The labels this year were of equal highlight to the cards.

Continuing, our Christmas plans were short but still fun and family filled.  We celebrated Christmas with the Brod family on the morning of Christmas Eve.  Our white elephant gift exchange was a little more fun and mischievous this year as each one of us, besides Ashlee and Phil, bought presents from from Ashlee and Phil’s wedding registries.  We selected and opened gifts as normal, but, at the end of the exchange, we all yelled “Merry Christmas” at once and placed the gifts around Ashlee and Phil.   Lots of fun to surprise them with a small impromptu wedding shower on Christmas. 

Christmas on Corpus followed, and we did our first white elephant gift exchange in Corpus with 20 people.  It was A LOT of fun, and I think we started a new tradition there as well.  Eddie and Velma (Henry’s aunt and uncle) hosted a fabulous Christmas gathering on Christmas day. 

Henry and I both went back to work post Christmas, but we looked forward to gathering with Carissa, Nick, Anne and Scott for NYE.  I was excited for another chance to use my new camera that Mom and Dad gave me for Christmas

The six of us had a great time eating dinner, playing board games, and ringing in the new year.
