2011 -- It's going to be a good one!!
"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day."
OK, yeah, the original plan of going to NYC with Landon and my family for the Pinstripe Bowl (Go Wildcats), a little sightseeing, football at local pubs and spending New Years Eve on a boat on the river with the fireworks along the city skyline would have been fun... BUT after the flights were cancelled, Plan B turned out to be great as well! : ) Landon and I started the night off with dinner reservations at Shogun Steakhouse of Japan. We both had Filet and Scallops Hibachi (then of course the salad, soup, rice, noodles and veggies). After our bellies were stuffed, we went back and watched all the NYC countdown shows. I started with Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin because it came on TV first and I like Anderson Cooper, but I think they might have had a few too many drinks before air time... so on to Carson Daly and, of course, Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest. We shot off fireworks that were leftover from the 4th of July! We did a "Cheers" at Midnight EST (for Jason and Alli) and then a "Cheers and a kiss" at Midnight CST to officially bring in the year 2011!! New Year's Day began with an "All-Star Special" breakfast at Waffle House, lots of football, taking down all of the Christmas decorations (always a sad time..) and we wrapped it all up with some 32 Winds wine while watching my OU Sooners win the Fiesta Bowl!! I am grateful to bring in a new year with someone I love.. <3

*CHRISTMAS 2010*
Boy, do I LOVE Christmas! The lights, christmas tree, stockings, glittery decorations, christmas music, wrapping gifts, sugary foods, christmas movies and time off from work. As I get older, Christmas becomes more exciting to me because it's a good chance to see family and just relax together. : ) Christmas 2010 for me was a little like the movie Four Christmases, but with less drama and less crazy people!
Christmas #1 was in Aspen, CO on December 21st with the my awesome Berney family at Roaring Fork Club. We watched football, put together a puzzle, had a cheers with egg nog (for mom!) had dinner at the Roaring Fork Club lodge (might have been the best meal ever.... :P) and opened presents by the fire while watching Christmas movies. I never feel like I fully deserve all the love that comes my way during those christmas nights, but boy do I let it soak in and enjoy every single minute of it without taking advantage of any bit. Then, it was back to Bentonville for Christmas #2.... with our cool new iPad's!
Christmas #2 was in Bentonville, AR on December 23rd with Landon. We nicknamed it (while stuck at the Houston airport Continental President's Club) "Krisdon Curney Christmas." Landon got me a big flat screen tv with wall mount for my workout room, so that I don't have to look down at my tube tv from the 80s anymore when I run, that was basically sitting on my floor! I got Landon all the Entourage season DVD sets and some stylish Broncos shorts! We also both did stockings for each other this year, which was a first for both of us. : ) On to Christmas #3....
Christmas #3 was in Bartlesville, OK on December 25th, Christmas morning at the Curd Jr. household! We had coffee and danishes, then opened gifts by the Christmas tree. I always love watching the dogs open their gifts, because as big labs.. they have gotten pretty good at using their teeth to open the gifts themselves! Tanner was the helpful trash picker-upper. Next we listened to Christmas music and had some yummy brunch... can't ever have enough food during Christmas time! Nap time first (and Home Alone 2) then on to Christmas #4 that evening....
Christmas #4 was in Bartlesville, OK on December 25th, Christmas evening at the Curd Sr. household! We had wine (with my new wine opener set!), opened more gifts, watched football and had dinner. They always have Prime Rib and Yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and pie for dessert........ YUM!! My first time ever to have both Prime Rib and Yorkshire pudding was Christmas '09 at their house and Christmas '10 was just as tasty as I remembered! : ) What a lovely bunch of Christmases!! Next thing to look forward to-- New Years Eve....
