Teach Me How To DZ

One of my fav things about the holidays?!! Aside from the reason for the season & spending time with family... are the HOMECOMINGS!!

I have so many girlfriends that live out of state nowadays, that we rarely get to SEE each other in person. So every homecoming, we look forward to squeezing in time for a reunion, and this year it worked out perfectly!! A few days after Christmas, our Alma Mater was playing in The Little Caesar Bowl at Ford Field!

So Sarah purchased the tickets, I had the t-shirts made (because it's not a true Pink & Green reunion without matching shirts) & Feldman planned the pre-party!

Fight On, Fight On!

I think we both belong in the South :)
Yay! Patrick supported the Broncos even though he's a Spartan!!

You can't wear the shirt without the dance :
"Ta ta ta teach me how to DZ"
Go Broncos!!



Unfortunately, Western did not get the win, and it took me almost booing the first TD to realize I was cheering for the wrong team (whoops, maybe a few too many pre cocktail party cocktails?!), but it was such a great reunion with such fabulous sisters!! Love you girls!

In the Flame.

Happy Birthday Jesus

Ready. Set. Short & Sweet version of Christmas 2011. Go!

I spent Christmas Eve at my cousin's with a big portion of the Spag family. The evening was filled with good food (hello, Italians, would you think any different), good music (the younger cousins sing a mean Here Comes Santa Claus), good gifts (make-up & money, yes please) and laughing children (my fav part)!

Me & My Dad!!
Cousins!
The younger cousins singing Happy Birthday to Jesus!
It is tradition in the family that all the children gather to sing Christmas carol's so Santa will know where we are and bring us each a gift to open... like I mentioned above, my younger cousins sing their little hearts out :)


Yay! He found us!
The greatest moment of the holiday was my dad opening his gift from Andrea. Her first painting ever, which is beautiful. She is so talented!! I was able to capture the reaction live!! I love my dad's face when he realizes what it is; he cried, Andrea cried, I cried, I am sure if Phil & Hay were there, they would of cried.


My Parents!!
