Tacky Christmas Party

Well, Josh & I hosted our very first party as a married couple! "Tacky Christmas Party" would be the theme.. We all dressed in "tacky" Christmas sweaters! Lots and lots of laughs and a LOT of fun!! Here are the pictures!!

Kinsley dressed up Tacky, too!


Waiting for our guests to arrive...


Your hosts, Josh & Chynna! :)


Glenn & Kirsten Reed


Gabe & Jennifer Chaffin


Our newest friends from church, AND neighbors, Jim & Shelby Carrow!


But of course, she discovered the cake....









This rainbow was right outside of our front door, it was sooo clear and beautiful!

Hope you enjoyed laughing at our ugly sweaters! I enjoyed wearing my outfit more than I probably ought to! :)

Love,

Mamaw's Visit..

Hello World....
Josh's mom got here Dec 9th and was supposed to stay til the 20th. Well Josh's SILLY SELF typed in the wrong Airport and they missed her flight so she had to stay another 2 nights, she's off now tho, headed back to Alabama! This past Saturday was Josh's 22nd birthday! We spent the day (just us two) in Palm Desert, we went to eat at the Cheesecake Factory, bought him a new phone (Blackberry Storm 2, I'm very jealous...!) and saw the movie Precious (don't waste your money). It was a GORGEOUS day, 80 degrees where we were!! Crazy right?! Anywho, Kinsley's getting more "adult" every day and Abrielle's growing up too. I'd love for time to just stop right now and let me soak it all in for a lot longer. I basically whine to Josh everyday about how I don't want Abri to grow cause I like the size she's at :) I just wanna pinch her and squeeze her all day long!! I can never get enough of my girls. I'm just absolutely in love with our life! Today is my 6 week postpartum checkup, meaning my little angel is 6 weeks tomorrow!! And CHRISTMAS is this FRIDAY! Goodness me! We're having a "Tacky Christmas Party" at our house this week! :) I went shopping yesterday at Thrift stores for our Tacky sweaters! I can't wait to have people over and get to socialize with GIRLS! I forget what it's like to interact with ladies my age sometimes! We're going to play a lot of games like Scene Its 'Battle of the Sexes' and Apples to Apples. While snacking on yummy finger foods such as cocktail weenies & sausage balls! Yummm-my! I'll be sure to post pics from that :)

Ok that's my update for now!
XOXO

Xmas pics of...Abrielle Alyse

My little angel is one month old already! Seriously can someone tell me where time goes? Cause I want it back. I can't quit kissing and squeezing this little one. She makes me want another one already! I wouldn't dare mention that to Josh yet, he'd probably, no, he WOULD laugh in my face. :) It's okay tho we're still YOUNG right!?! Plenty of time. ANYWHO! I took some pictures of my sweeeeeeet baby earlier today.. I have her in a cute little Christmas sleeper right now so if I remember to, I'll take some of her in it too..

So, Merry Christmas! From, Abrielle Alyse Green :)

Marine Corps Ball!

*NOTICE*!
NOT SURE IF YOU SLIGHTLY BLIND FOLKS OUT THERE (papa) KNOW ABOUT THIS BUT I JUST DISCOVERED IT MYSELF, YOU CAN ACTUALLY *CLICK* ON THE PICTURES & THEY MAKE THEM HUGE!!

The ball was fun, but Vegas is of those places where once is enough. And I had that "once" last year when My friends came out. I was sick to my stomach all weekend worrying about my two babies and just ITCHING to get home!! So finally, WE ARE HOME!!




Mugs we got, says Happy (234th) Birthday Marine Corps


If you're like me, and can't spell, especially big words such as "Reconnaissance" then you wouldn't notice on the cake that it's spelled wrong.


After the Ball!

Obviously, these pics aren't in order.


Always trying to be a photographer & get "different" types of pictures! His dress blues are AWESOME right!?

He likes to pretend to be a photographer, too so he secretly took this one of me.


He just looks sooo handsome, doesn't he!


Us waiting at a cross walk on "Las Vegas Blvd".

This was taken in our friend's hotel room, before the MC Ball!

This is my editing of our professional pic!


Last but not least, Our very first professional Marine Corps Ball picture!



Hope you enjoyed! XOXO

Thanksgiving

Greetings!!
Hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving with the ones they love.. I know I did! Josh's brother & sister came here Wednesday night and left on Sunday morning. Josh really enjoyed getting to spend time with his siblings! :) Kinsley was excited to have company again, bless her heart she's going crazy without her cousins! Part of me wishes time would hurry so Abrielle would be big enough to play with Kinsley but the bigger part of me doesn't wish that at all!! As I was feeding Abrielle last night/early morning I thanked God for not giving me twins, I couldnt imagine how hard that would have been, feeding TWO babies in the middle of the night, TWO diapers, getting TWO babies back to sleep?!!! It made me think of our cousin Joanna & how hard the first few months must have been on her! I'm so thankful for my ONE little healthy baby! :) Of course Kinsley decides to sleep past 9am on the morning I get up at 6 with her sister... I need energy, anyone have suggestions??

Here's pictures from Thanksgiving & the past week!

sucking her thumb! sooo cute...



Josh got up with her in the middle of the night cause she was crying & he wanted me to get sleep, isnt he sweet!

Thanksgiving 09! Our new little family

Getting ready to eat Thanksgiving dinner!
