I started to title this post, “Holly Jolly Weekend”, but then decided this weekend wasn’t as festive as next weekend should be-so I’m saving it. You just wait for the Holly Jolly Weekend Wrap-Up coming your way next week. 😉
If you live in Austin, Texas, or Norman, Oklahoma, or are just big TX, OU, or Big 12 fans in general, then you know there was a BIG game played in Dallas over the weekend. Tab was selected to officiate that game. {WAHOO!} The crew stayed at the Omni-it was so pretty and all decked out for Christmas. I wish I would have taken more pictures to show you. I drove down after school pick up on Friday to meet up and go to dinner with everyone. We were treated to a yummy dinner at Perry’s Steakhouse, where I decided right then and there if they fried anything in whatever they’d fried that asparagus in, I would eat it. It’s going to be so tough eating a regular ole piece of asparagus now. #setthebaronasparaguswaytoohigh
I wore my sequin top from the Gibson line…even though it’s hard to see, paired it with some velour pants I’ve had for years {this is the brand I have}and always pull out during the holidays and my leather jacket.
Speaking of the Gibson holiday Glam line, I have to take a quick break to discuss, MY GIRL, SHEAFFER, HAS A TOP NAMED AFTER HER ON THE NORDSTROM WEBSITE! This was how I styled my “Sheaffer” for a dinner out…with dark denim skinny jeans, a leopard belt, and some cognac booties. I ordered both a small and a medium because I wasn’t sure how it’d fit. The small is perfect with a front tuck.
I’m seriously SO SO happy, proud, and excited for this girl….basically, I’ve got all the “mom feels” right now for Sheaffer. Ha! Sheaffer….so so proud of you, friend! XO
One more look at the “Sheaffer” up close…super cute lace detailing. The top also comes in white and black. I love the fact you can dress it up or dress it down. If you have any Christmas parties coming up, New Year’s Eve events, or a fun night out…grab this top!
The view from Tab’s hotel room was amazing! But a dance recital the next day was calling my name so back to McKinney I went. 🙂
This was Tab on Saturday.
And I was with my favorite dancer at her Christmas dance recital.
The boys went to the game with some friends so I had the girlies solo.
The cutest group of dancers.
These girls did such a good job!
Her favorite thing about the day? Tab and the boys made it back to watch her second performance!
Lots of holidays parties and fun nights out this week! And we’re READY! Happy Monday, Everyone!
XO
Erika, what’s your trick to keeping your teeth so white?! They are so shiny!!
Awwww! I love that you have all the mom feels!!!! You look great in the top (love it with the dark jeans, leopard belt, and all the gold jewelry), and I think red is your color. Love you, friend!!!! xoxo
I used an entire Crest a white Strips pack just like the box says exactly years ago. Now I just have to use a couple strips here and there like every couple months and it evens to keep them looking white. Hope this helps! 🙂
I tried to comment on my phone and clearly, my fingers were just too big to make sense this morning?! ha! Years ago, I did the Crest White Strips' treatment exactly like the box says. Now, I just use a couple strips here and there when I feel like they need a little refreshing. Hope this helps and makes more sense than my comment above! ha!
Oh my gosh! You look so stinkin' cute in THE SHEAFFER!! Like seriously, that top is so cute on you!!!
Hi! Can you link or tell me where your cream sweater is from please? Thank you!
What a fun weekend!! Ebby Lee looks adorable in her costume and on stage!
Hi Mary! I added my sweater link in the post. 🙂
You had such a busy weekend, and yet still get a blog post out (yay!!!!!!!!!) amazing. I've been a blog reader for many years- I love reading each day. 🙂 I especially love when you share book faves and Amazon faves 🙂 Cutest family ever, and you love Jesus….I'm a fan.
Thank you!
Ha! I knew that was Tab! We drove up from Austin for the game. I told my husband that I thought it was Tab and that I follow you on Instagram and read your blog. His response "message his wife and see if we could get some better calls". What a great game! Hook em!
My husband and I were watching the game on TV this weekend and during the game I shouted "Hey! That's Tab Slaughter!!" My husband was so confused on how I knew one of the officials!! I said "well…I don't really KNOW know him. I read his wife's blog." So it just feels like it!! haha. Thanks for making us all feel like family!
We watched the game and I recognized Tab! So fun! Ebby Lee looked BEAUTIFUL! Thankful for that 2nd performance so Tab could watch her dance!
Simply Tish
You look GORGEOUS in that Sheaffer top!! Love the pics of those pretty girls at the recital!
That Inspired Chick
LOVING the Sheaffer top on you and the pics of the girls on stage is amazing! Ebby Lee looks so grown up!
Ahh…we could be twinkies…I wore the same red top with black pants for an event last week! I considered a tuck but I've had way too many functions full of food lately lol.
Hi Erika! I was wondering what you use for your skin care routine?!
Thanks!!
I haven't used an exact regimen in years because I get too excited about trying new products. But…I just started using Colleen Rothschild's regimen. I'll keep you posted!
So fun to see your hubs at the game (even if it was just on the field)! May not have been the outcome I wanted but always a huge Slaughter fan!
So very cool that he was tabbed for the Big 12 Championship Game. Does he know if he is working the little game that will be played in my neck of the woods on Jan.7th (The National Title Game)?
