It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas

We have been having fun prepping for the holidays.  It has been a hectic fall, and I think we are all looking forward to some quiet downtime that winter always brings!  Of course, our down time will be cut short this year when Peanut #2 arrives in mid-February!  

Here are some photos of what we've been up to:

We had fun visiting with the Epplers over Thanksgiving weekend.  This is the best photo I managed to get of Macy and Baby Drew.  He loved her Minnie chair!  

Christmas tree shopping!  This year we were joined by Brian, Marlena and Julia.

Ready to pick some good ones!

Chopping down our #1 pick

Decorating the tree at home!  This ornament was Macy's pick from Bronners for the year.  It has a little hummingbird "flying"  inside of it!

Hanging the first ornament

 We are 32 weeks pregnant today.  Everything has been going pretty smoothly and aside from some aches and pains and an extra bout of exhaustion, things are going well.  It is hard to believe that we will be a family of 4 in about 2 months.  We are nervous and excited all at the same time!  Yesterday, Macy said "Mumma, your belly is getting really really big because the baby is getting big in there!"  followed by "the baby is taking up all of your space!"  She's got that right!  Here are some 32 week belly pictures
