Come Read!!!!!!!!
Okay, I've posted all three Christmas celebrations from three different states. Come read because I'm tired! :)
And my blog has an awesome new look, if I do say so myself! ;)
And...
A Mississippi Christmas
After our Tennessee Christmas, we drove to Mississippi to celebrate with Trey's family.
Fiona and I on Christmas (Yes, I am wearing the same outfit! That's how I roll! ;) )
I tweeted these pictures because it's such a Mississippi thing, but man is it good! Trey and I got Dodge's chicken for our Christmas lunch. Yes, this is from a gas station. Fried chicken tenders, jo jo's, and rolls. Deliciousness
As if the fried chicken was not Mississippi enough, this was in the parking lot. A barbecue mobile!
After lunch, we napped and watched the marathon of A Christmas Story. Later, we enjoyed a delicious Christmas dinner cooked by my father-in-law, Clay! We had turkey, ham, mac and cheese, rolls, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, dressing, grape salad, green salad, and fruit trifle! He's a wonderful cook and it was all so GOOD!
After dinner, it was present time. I didn't really get any pics of present unwrapping. But I did get some of the pretty tree! :)
Chelsea's (my sister-in-law) boyfriend Dustin and their dog, Butterbean. I snapped that pic at the perfect time to catch that kiss! Ha! He's the biggest beagle ever! He was just a baby last year. Click here to see how cute he was as a baby!
Butterbean was playing with the bows. The pic is blurry because he is so fast!
Chelsea gave her dad a frame to put a picture of him with Trey and Chelsea in it. So, we snapped a picture of them. Sadly, they are the only ones I got pictures of on Christmas! Rhonda (my MIL) and I were there, too!
We had such a great Christmas this year! It was so great to see all of our family!
A Tennessee Christmas
On the 23rd, Trey and I traveled to Memphis to have Christmas with my family. When we got there, we enjoyed lasagna, garlic bread, and brownies and lemon squares from Bogie's. It was yummy!
After dinner, we opened presents. Again, only pics of me! :) My birthday is New Year's Eve, so my birthday always gets combined with Christmas. I was super excited about my birthday gift from my birthday. It's the cutest pink cake plate. Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE cake plates? LOVE them. And this one is my favorite! It's so pretty that it looks edible! My mom and dad also got me the most beautiful antique china. It's so sweet and elegant. It's white with scalloped edges and dainty gold bows. I am in love with it.
We crashed after that! It was a long drive. We woke up to a fabulous breakfast prepared by my brother, Brett.
My brother, my mom, and my dad in the kitchen. :)
It was like something from a fancy hotel.
Absolutely delicious. French toast, applewood bacon, and eggs with cream baked in a ramekin. And of course, orange juice and coffee!
Gracie and Lilly, my sisters :)
My bedroom at my parents' house.
We were lazy the rest of the day while we waited for Christmas Eve dinner with more family. We watched Harry Potter in the amazing home theater that my brother created.
My casual Christmas Eve outfit. I love my sparkly J. Lo sweater from Kohl's. Oh, and I paired it with my beloved Frye cowboy boots.
My mom's beautiful table ready for Christmas Eve dinner.
The other tables all set up.
Christmas decorations
The chest that is actually mine! My mom is just storing it. :)
With all the candles lit for dinner...
I didn't get pictures of the food, but we had beef tenderloin, Sister Schubert rolls, scalloped potatoes, salad with feta, strawberries, walnuts and a Vidalia dressing. For dessert, we had chocolate delight and triple strawberry cake.

It was a great Christmas Eve.
Our Little Christmas
Trey and I had our little Christmas on the night of December 22. We were headed out of town the next morning to see both of our families.
Here is our tree with presents all wrapped!
I loved my wrapping paper this year. It matched the theme: animal print! :) There was leopard paper, red and zebra paper, and zebra ornament paper.
I put all of our stockings in this chair and Fiona was SOO excited. I've mentioned this before, but every time she sees a present she thinks it's for her. She's spoiled!
Patiently waiting for her stocking
So, it seems that out of all three Christmas celebrations we had there are ONLY pictures of me! So, welcome to The Amanda Show! ;) Sorry about that! Trey was the one with the camera each time and I guess he likes me or something. ;)
Oh, and notice Fiona still trying to get her stocking behind me. Hehe
Awesome camera stuff from my sweet Trey.
Gibson shirt for Trey
Cake pops!
Our traditional stocking stuffer: Toblerone! Yum.
And Reese's Trees.
Our stacks
Finally, Fiona got to open her stocking and presents. You can tell how excited she was by how blurry she is! (Oh, and this post contains pics from my Canon Rebel, Canon Powershot, and iPhone. So, they all vary!)
She really does like clothes.
SO cute in her puffy jacket....:)
And her Christmas dress!
We had a wonderful little Christmas!
