Christmas!

Well now it has come and gone, don't you hate that about the holidays? It seems so far away for so long and then BAM it's here and gone & all that's left is a ton of boxes to recycle and pine needles to vacuum up. Perhaps that's what makes it so special? That, and the time spent with family of course. Jeremy and I were lucky enough to spend Christmas Day with his family and then my parents came down the 26th. We are very blessed to have such great families! 

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Years to you all! 2014 is going to be amazing!

Over halfway there, I can't believe it!! Time has gone slowly so far but I have a feeling it will zoom by these next few months. I Had my anatomy and gender ultrasound right before Thanksgiving - the doctor reports that everything looks great so far so that's great to hear! She also confirmed that the radiologist agreed with the technician, it's a GIRL! I didn't have much of a feeling one way or the other until that morning, I really thought it was going to be a boy! Of course Jeremy was hoping for a boy, so we were both quite surprised when the tech said girl! I couldn't be happier, I just wanted a healthy baby and so far we have that. Fingers and toes crossed that she continues to grow and stays healthy in there :)

Looking Towards the New Year

As January and 2012 creep closer and closer I just wanted to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our friends and family. We were blessed this year and were able to spend time with so many family members!

The week before Christmas my parents and Aunt Laurie came into town for the weekend - we took that opportunity to invite over Jeremy's grandpa and his wife as well as Jeremy's parents. It also just so happened that his brother Matt and his wife were in town for a wedding so they also came over! It was so much fun having everyone at our house; my first time really entertaining- it went well! We had lots of yummy snacks, the huge tree was all lit up and decorated, fire was burning in the woodstove & drinks were flowing. A giant game of Taboo even happened, with no fights! My team won of course :)

The weekend of Christmas was spent in Bellevue with my family this year. We had delicious food and a lot of laughs (as usual!). This year also marked the first time Jeremy and I visited as husband and wife- we got to stay in the guest bedroom together!! Cutter also enjoyed the trip, my dad spoiled him with bites of Christmas dinner: prime rib!

2011 was an overly incredible year for both Jeremy and I- it is hard to believe how fortunate we are. I hope 2012 is filled with just as many exciting and happy times for us and all of our family. Love to you all.

Christmas Joy

WE'RE ENGAGED~!
