Christmas Countdown!!

The Countdown to Christmas is on!! 5 Days!

I love Christmas and this is one I will always remember. It will just be Adam and I at home as our families are out of town and live too far. We will miss them but at this will be one I cherish as it will be our "last" Christmas just the two of us. Next year we will have our sweet baby girl to share it with! That is so exciting too. We feel so blessed! But for now we are enjoying things just the two of us!

On a side note, I want to say a huge THANK YOU to my wonderful neighbors who took me to lunch today and then to Babies R US to register. We had a fun afternoon and tips from seasoned pro mommies like them are very much needed! Thank you girls!

We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas full of family, fun and memories!

Elf Yourself

I knew this had been going around but never really looked at it until my cousin sent one with her, her husband and son. I was laughing out loud so I decided to make one of my own!!!

Adam didn't think it was very funny at first but came around and we have been laughing at this for about an hour!

See this Movie!

If you haven't already seen, "The Blind Side" see it! It was an amazing movie, we loved it! So much to take way from it and so heartwarming!

Snow Day, Deep Freeze, New Car and Bear

This is going to be a quick post if I can manage it because I am in between batches of cookies!

Adam is away for the week, off visiting family and friends in California. So Saturday night the doggies and I are watching Christmas movies, baking cookies and sitting by the fire (I love the holidays!!)

We had a pretty interesting and up and down week out here and phew, I am glad it is over!

Monday and Tuesday we had painters take over the house and had a few rooms and our foyer painted (Call it nesting, but this needed to be done asap!) and they turned out great! Tuesday we made a run to the mall for dinner and to shop for Christmas and it was a very successful trip! As we left the mall the snow had started really coming down...as the weatherman said it would. We made it home safe and sound only to wake up to almost a foot of snow. Yikes, bust out the shovels! We dug out only to 24 hours later have everything turn to ice when we got a "deep freeze" Temps got to below zero and the doggies were not happy going outside :( But we managed and today we were back up to the high 20's!

Thursday brought some really sad news for our whole family. My sister, Denise's sweet dog Bear, passed away very unexpectedly from cancer. We never even knew he was sick until Denise took him into the vet on Thursday. It was very advanced and Denise made the best choice for Bear-Bear. We are going to miss him so much. He was truly a wonderful dog who had a really special bond with Denise. I know that Denise is going through a lot, I wish I was closer to her so that I could just hug her tight. :( We will love Bear forever.

On a happier note, we also got a brand new car today! We got a Navy Volvo XC90. Now both cars will be AWD and can get through snow safely! Not to mention the XC90 is one of the safest SUVs on the market so our baby girl will be safe and sound on the road! I am starting to feel like a mom...looking and eventually buying cars that have the highest safety ratings :) I love it!

Okay, that was a little long but it was a busy week! Back to cookies and Christmas movies!

It's a.....

I have been trying to get an update about Thanksgiving etc. written this entire week! Still not done :(

But....we are having a baby GIRL! We couldn't be more excited about having a little girl! She looks perfect! I am anticipating she's going to be a Daddy's girl already!

Here are two pictures from my ultrasound today at 19 weeks!
