We have had such a busy holiday, but it has been a blast! This Christmas I decided to be domestic, so I made stockings for us! It was a lot of fun, but after that I was over being domestic for a while. The best was on Christmas Eve and getting up and finding we are having a baby GIRL! It was amazing to see our tiny baby for the first time, and it made it so real for us. I am at 20 weeks along and the baby is due on May 13th.
After our appoitment we met up with my brother and his wife and drove up to Ogden to meet up with my mom and dad. My dad flew up this year to spend Christmas with us, it has been great to see him so much. We had a great Christmas Eve at the lodge at Snow Basin, ending with fireworks. Christmas day was full of activites, starting with presents, breakfast and making rolls at home with Adam, just the two of us. Then it was off to my mom's to meet up with all of my siblings and my dad. We had lunch, then did our gift exchange and then we did our annual white elephant gifts. Then it was hanging out and heading out to the movies. We got home around midnight and we were exhausted. It has been great, and next year will be much busier I'm sure. You know, because of the little one!
