i'm back...

from KY that is. last weekend I traveled to the bluegrass state to celebrate Christmas at the funk’s (thank's to my wonderful parents). my weekend was packed with many ‘fun’k-filled adventures…such as dying my dad’s hair, surprising my grandparents, staying up late with my mom, enjoying childhood christmas ornaments, catching up with friends, and sleeping in. the only downfall to my weekend was missing my husband…curt stayed in NC in order to study for finals, which are now over, YAHOO!

well, I will not tire you with my text; instead fix your eyes on the pictures below to see my KY escapade for yourself.


my parent's house...so beautiful and so full of christmas cheer...

the stockings hung by the chimney with care...




dying my dad's hair! before you judge please know that this was only a joke and we must inform you that it all washed out before we could show off his "touch of gray" hair. despite the disappointing outcome, we had a blast attempting the darkening task.



job well done, well at least we thought...this was before the rinse.

next, christmas at the funk's...

my pop and me, aka his favorite grandaughter


the annual wrapping paper ball war. mike is always an easy target.

mike debuting his singing talents, not to mention his angelic voice...the idol judges even agreed, but hey who wouldn't, this is the year all about him!




yes you are reading correctly...we are 'team funk.' thank you nick and michelle for the awesome shirts...we will always wear them with pride.

a grand old time...

we did indeed have a grand old time in the sunshine state. curt and i, along with the entire Deskin’s family spent thanksgiving on Daytona Beach this year. we played putt-putt, fashioned crafts, strolled the beach, ate way too good, snapped family photos, opened gifts, stayed up late, woke up early….you name it and we probably did it. our three days in florida were filled with splendid delight. instead of rambling on and on about our trip, i have decided to attach lots of photos to tell our story. please enjoy our family and our fun…
