Birthday, Christmas & New Baby!

Well, I'd post a picture or two, but my memory card is downstairs and that's just too much to do right now. :) Later, promise.

Just a few days ago on the 23rd, I turned 31. Wowee. Whatever, I don't really care about age. Haha. Anyway, it was a great day. Josh went to preschool in the morning for a few hours and Scott and I went out for breakfast. We'd never been to The Liberty Market in downtown Gilbert, and it was yummy. Can't wait to go again. Then I got a mani/pedi, last one for a while since baby will be here soon :). Soon after we picked up Josh and all went home for nap. Dinner was at Outback and voila! An awesome day. Now, if you know me, you know that "we" don't mix my birthday and Christmas just because they are close together. However, this year I gave "permission" to receive one gift for both occassions. Haha! As you may have read before, I've really really really really really wanted a new camera. :) So I got one. Yay! Thanks to everyone else who pitched in too! It's awesome. MOre on that later.

Christmas Eve service was great. Boy does Miss Sara have an awesome voice. She sang Emmanuel in a way I've never heard it before. So powerful. :)

Christmas Day was great too. Scott was up early playing Santa but I slept until Josh woke up. We had cookies and cinnabuns for breakfast. I'm such a good mom and wife. Haha! We started in on presents while the buns were in the oven, and it was just so much fun watching Josh. He's really gotten the grasp on things more this year. You ask him, "Do you wanna open some presents" and he'll give you a very enthusiastic "Yeah!" as his whole body jumps a litte. We don't buy him very many toys through the year because he just doesn't need them. I'm usually purging every so many months. But it was fun to shop for things I knew he'd really like, like a tool set. He loves putting small things into small openings and holding my plyers when I'm making jewelry, etc. So that'll entertain him for while.

We watched his new movie Up! and then got ready to head to his grandparents' house. Lots of family and food. It was a great day. Again, I'll get pictures for you later. :)

And now here we are just 2 days away from our growing family. I can hardly believe baby boy #2 will be here so soon. This pregnancy has gone by so quickly. Besides that evil virus I got back in October, this has been an awesome journey - I'd say even easier than my pregnancy with Josh which was really good too. Scott and I were brainstorming again this morning about names. It's so hard! So we'll see. There are 2 right now written on the fridge. :)

As always, thanks for reading and keeping up with our family! I'll keep you posted with further details! :)
