Rockin' New Year's Day

We celebrated New Year's Day at the Dragers' house, where we had a wonderful meal of ham accompanied by the traditional black-eyed peas & cabbage. Chris & Shannon brought their Wii Rock Band, and it soon turned in to New Year's Rockin' Day for the guys. The guys had a great time playing & singing, and the girls had a great time staying out of the game room!!!

Casey is playing the drums; Jeremy is playing the bass? guitar, and Duane is singing!!!

As we were getting ready to leave, there was an instrument switch-a-roo. Jeremy & Casey switched to guitar, while Chris played the drums. See my husband in the background urging me to go?!?!

And, of course, I couldn't let this moment pass without getting some video from their gig!

Happy New Year!!!

Duane & I celebrated the New Year at Duddley's with friends!   Here are some pics from our New Year's Eve celebration.  Good Times!!! Good Times!!!

We've Been Elfed!

The holidays are off to a great start! I've completely finished my shopping (just don't ask about the wrapping), and I've still managed to find a few minutes to play!!!! What FUN!!! We've been elfed!

Sorry, the jibjab video link no longer works!

Kitty! Kitty!

Our Christmas tree used to be beautiful, with ornaments carefully placed all over the tree. Now, there are no more ornaments on the bottom third of my tree; and I've stopped picking them up to rehang them because they are just going to end up on the floor again anyway. So, Kitty has resorted to climbing the tree to get at the dangling toys. He will be one sad kitty after New Year's when the tree gets put away!

Duddley's Christmas Party

Tuesday night, Duane & I went to the Duddley's Christmas party and participated in the white elephant gift exchange. Lots of stealing going on!!!! Duane & I kept getting to pick new gifts because our gifts kept getting stolen. My husband is a true gambling man; we could have locked up a $25 Chile's gift card.  Chile's is our favorite place to eat, and I tried to get him to steal it.  But no, he went for an unopened package instead, and it turned out to be quite the gag gift, which has already disappeared from our house!!! It was a fun night!! Thanks to Rusty for hosting the party!!!

Fall 2008 Dart Banquet

Here are a few of the pics from this season's dart tournament.  Duane's team threw well but were eliminated from the tournament in 8th place. 

The Kersten Christmas Party...

Each year, our crew gets together for a white elephant gift exchange holiday party.  Usually, the Dragers host it, but this year, Duane & I had it at our house.  We had a great time playing Wii Guitar Hero and trading gifts; in fact, we were having so much fun that I forgot to take very many pics!  One thing I won't forget is how Jeremy stole my beloved gift at the end of the gift exchange.  

Visiting with friends...

Watching the Aggies beat Alabama...WHOOP!

Good Friends, Good Food, & Good Times!
