i hope everyone had a wonderful christmas. craig and i surely did. we spent lots of quality time with family and friends and made some great memories! we especially appreciated all of the extra love and support that our loved ones gave to us this season. craig and i are incredibly blessed.
the friday before christmas, craig and i were invited to a white elephant gift exchange. i made these little cupcakes to share with everyone. i had to laugh, because at one point i saw a wife bat one of these puppies out of her husband's hands while whispering "i think you have had enough." that made me feel good because a. they were good enough for someone to come back for seconds and b. because i am not the only nag-for-a-wife out there.
this is what craig and i came home with after the party. dont even ask what that doll is. i have no idea. and that color wheel is a bunch of different flavored teas. exactly what we needed.
me and craig. i leave the house thinking my hair looks pretty, but then in pictures is looks like a rat box. who knows.
belly shot. i know, i know i am carrying the baby low. insert old wives tale prediction here.
our christmas tree on christmas eve.
louis was just waiting for santa to come and bring the rest of his gifts.
craig's parents gave us a baby swing for christmas. this is craig putting it together. my mom told craig to get used to it, because he would be doing this for the next eighteen years. craig and i are very grateful for our family's generosity.
this is a pathetic representation of the white christmas we enjoyed. at around noon, (during our drive to the local mcdonalds for lunch) on christmas day, it started snowing. snowing at all, let alone on christmas day, is very rare for seattle so it was such a treat.usually, the day after christmas i get very depressed. i hate cleaning up christmas decorations and not being able to listen to festive music 24 hours a day. however, this year is different. i am so excited about the baby coming in about 6 weeks that i dont have time to be depressed. now that the holidays are over, i am going to get into full baby-mode. what a fantastic way to cure a christmas hangover.
