Christmas Recap and 2010!

Wow! I am officially horrible at updating this blog! I haven't written since December 19th, which was forever ago. Since then, Christmas has come and gone, the New Year has begun, and we are getting closer to the day our son will join us.

Here's a little recap:

In December, before Christmas, I was busy with work. We had the Children's Christmas Program, which was precious, comical, and dramatic as usual. At one point our back-up Baby Jesus (a baby doll) was being pulled across the stage sitting backwards on one of the sheep, which was made out of a roller skate. That image will never leave my mind. I hosted the Evening Circle Bible study, and we had a wonderful time despite the yucky weather. Josh and I had the church kids over to make ornaments, decorate cookies, and watch "Rudolph." The amount of icing and sprinkles these kids were able to digest still grosses me out.

For Christmas, Josh and I had Christmas morning to ourselves, and it was a wonderful time. We unwrapped gifts, made breakfast together, and cuddled on the couch enjoying each other's company. Once the afternoon hit, it was time to get going. We traveled to visit Josh's family in Butler that evening. We had a great time with them...lots of laughs, great food, fun moments. We spent the night with Josh's parents and then got up Saturday morning and traveled to see my mom and stepdad. We also stopped by and visited with Caroline and baby Jasper! Josh finally got to hold his godson, and he was on cloud nine after that! Sunday we went to church and spent the afternoon with my dad and stepmom. Somehow we fit all the gifts in the car, as well as our things and Charlie (along with her kennel). Charlie had an interesting time for sure. She got to unwrap a gift from us on Christmas morning, she completely destroyed a stuffed animal that Josh's parents gave to her (in less than 15 minutes mind you), made us believe that she had eaten 3 York peppermint patties, and acted funny throughout our travels making us believe that she was sick.

Since Christmas, Josh and I have been marking things off our list of things to do before Patton arrives. We put together our changing table, bought some baby things, ordered curtains for the nursery, and have done numerous projects around the house. Our next order of business is setting the date for our c-section! We get to schedule it tomorrow afternoon at our doctor's appointment, and we are both so excited!

To end, here's the latest baby bump picture that was taken this weekend. I am now 32 weeks pregnant, so not too long to go!
