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. 

Further Fun with Friends

Recently, Carissa and Nick dedicated their twins, McKenna and Jillian, at church.  I don’t take the most fabulous pictures, but it was a very special time!  So so happy for this wonderful family!

We also had dinner with the NEWLYWEDS and Mrs. Wann   Nick or Isla were able to attend, but it was so fun to sit with Stori to hear about their move to Russia as well as hear about how Kristen and Matt have been since their wedding!

We had an AMAZING weekend in College Station to for the A&M vs. texas tech game as well!  It’s always great when the team is winning, too.  We decided, late in the summer, to go with Anne and Scott to a game sometime in the season, and we chose the tech game.  What a great game that we chose!

Recently, some friends of ours were in town, and we got to spend some time with them while they were here!  Ben and Jamie Casmer now live in Arkansas, but we love hanging out with them.  Both of them have wonderful outgoing personalities and are a blast to be around. Last but not least, Ash and Phil had their first wedding shower, and I just really love this pic of me and Ash!!!

Fun Times with Friends and Family

Well, it’s no secret that, lately, I’ve not been good about posting.  As I look back at our pictures, I see just how bad I was doing!  Here’s a look at some fun we’ve had lately

Matt and Kristen’s Wedding September 25, 2010

Henry wasn’t able to attend since his cousin got married that evening, and he was a groomsman.  However, I GOT TO ATTEND!

Will enjoys pics where he looks like a ladies man

I even got to see some sweet friends and their DAUGHTERS!!!  Above is Sabrina and Ashlyn.

Michael and Adriana’s Wedding

As I mentioned, Henry was a groomsman in his cousin’s wedding, and both of these weddings were north of San Antonio.  After I left Kristen’s wedding, I drove over to Michael’s wedding, and it looks like I got there at just the right time!

Ashlee and Phil’s Engagement Pictures!

Ash and Phil took engagement pics REALLY early in the morning this past Saturday, and they look so good!  No surprising however when Studio563 is behind the lens   Have a look at the fabulous sneak peak!  Which one is your favorite?

Ember is a winning dog!

After our last post about the K-9 Fun Run, we did attend, and Ember won 2nd place in her weight category!  I think she’s probably a little frustrated with her running partner costing her 1st place.  She love’s him enough though that she quickly forgave him   We had so much fun, and I know Henry loved having the opportunity to see this aspect of my mother’s job.  We are looking forward to coming next year!  You should bring your pup, too, and join us!

Up early and excited about heading to the Fun Run!

I love that she’s mid lick in this picture.

Ember and her running partner.

Crossing the finish line!

Whoop! 2nd place!
