33 weeks

We are now 33 weeks along and the excitement and nerves are starting to kick in. Excited that pregnancy is almost over and we will have a new bundle of joy to add to our family, but nervous about having 2 kids. We still don't know what we are having and in some ways it's fun not to know, but other days I kind of wish I knew so that I could be more prepared - especially if it is a boy. But in the end I know everything will work out for the best and we'll take it one day at a time. I'm grateful for family who have boys and have offered to let us have their clothes which will be a huge blessing. 7 more weeks to go, maybe even sooner!

Snow Day

Well although Christmas was warm this past year, we started out the new year in white...snow!
This was Avery's first snow day that she was old enough to play in and she loved it.

Christmas Day 2010

Christmas morning Phillip and I woke up at 7:00 to start cooking cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and we watched the "Joy to the World" dvd. This is my own personal tradition and I love it because it helps me to prepare for the day and focus on the true meaning of Christmas. I also always look for the star in the morning and the star was right by my house and it was huge!

Avery woke up at 7:30 and we opened our stockings



Then we opened our presents.


After we ate cinnamon roll and chocolate milk for breakfast - our other tradition-
we headed over to Phillip's parents house and opened gifts there.



Around 1:00pm we headed over to my parent's house to open gifts from them and to enjoy Christmas Dinner. We got my family Disney Cranium for Christmas and enjoyed laughing in hysterics from Phill and Kyle trying to draw and guess pictures of Beauty and the Beast, and Pinocchio.

Christmas Day for us is usually busy and lots of visiting, but we are so blessed to have both of our families live so close to us that Avery can see both of them.

Merry Christmas!
