We had a nice Christmas, busy, but nice. DD loved it, of course and has more stuff than she will ever be able to play with. I had to go out yesterday to buy a bunch of rubbermaid totes to store Barbies, My Little Pony, Polly Pockets, and Strawberry shortcake stuff. All those toys that have about a zillion little tiny peices.

I got a two big gift cards for buying maternity clothes, and DH bought me autostart for my car! HOORAY! In Minnesota that is a necessity.

The best part of Christmas of course is seeing friends and family. About 7 of my girlfriends from highschool got together on Thursday. And got to see a lot of the extended family and my brother and sister who are both away at college. It was nice.

I hope that you ladies had a nice holiday as well.

Mine was great too. We just spent time with our family and Nicholas. We enjoyed the holidays quite a bit this year. We have a lot to be thankful for.

Well, it seems as though we spent xmas eve and xmas day crowded in w/lots of noisy family members at various houses opening lots of presents this year. 18 people on xmas eve... lots of paper and ribbons flying, lots of noise and excitement.. 6 people on xmas day but much smaller quarters and higher stacks of presents so it was an equal amount of noise and chaos! I had to work hard not to loose my two yr old amid the flying wrapping paper and didn't really get to see when each member opened the presents I got for them! By the end of the night xmas day, dh and I were exhausted and began to complain about how chaotic and stressful this holiday was... not exactly relaxing... But then we started laughing at ourselves as we realized how silly we sounded "Boo Hoo We were surrounded by lots of family who gave us lots of presents all xmas! Poor us!!" ;-) We counted our blessings instead. We'll catch up on our sleep next week.
Merry Christmas everybody and Have a Happy New Year!!

I'm glad to hear everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Kerri,

How are you feeling about the pg now? I know you were very worried there for awhile. It sounds like your doing much better though . I love the maternity gift certificates. That should be fun!

Tish,

Do you have any recent picture of Nicholas for us? I would love to see them!

Jo,

You crack me up . I think most of us do that.


Cassandra,

My Christmas was great! I'm very blessed. DH said I stocked up this year. He is definitely right about that but the one true Christmas gift I wanted I got . My little miracle that I thank God for each and everyday and pray that he continues to bless me with throughout this pg.
