Christmas Fun...

We had a wonderful Christmas! This year, we stayed around Nevada and my family came to us. My family arrived at our house on Christmas Eve, just in time for mass. After church, we came home and had a big dinner and spent time opening gifts and chatting. Here are some pictures...



There is a tree behind us...we're just too big! haha!

My Parents!

This is where Marc planted himself for the evening!


We all agreed that next Christmas is going to be MUCH different with Baby Taylor around! We're so excited for that!


On Christmas Day, we enjoyed a big breakfast and lunch and then just lounged around the house with my family. Later in the afternoon, we headed to Ryan and Janelle's for the Taylor Christmas. We opened gifts and had a big dinner!!
Uncle Blair had soo much fun with Kayson. The two of them played and put new toys together! :)

It was a great Christmas! We had lots and lots of GREAT food! We're so thankful for our families!

Now we're just enjoying break- lounging, cleaning, and meeting up with some friends...oh, and waiting for baby!





Happy Holidays!

Well the holidays are quickly approaching! I can't believe it's Christmas time. I've been looking so forward to this Christmas. I think it has something to do with the break that comes along with it! :) This year will be a little different for us because we can't travel more than 30 minutes away, since we're getting close to baby time!! My parents and brother are coming to share Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with us. We're very excited that my brother, Marc, can make it. He and his girlfriend live in Arizona, so he has some traveling to do. It's our tradition to just eat, eat, eat! We always have lots of snacks during the day and our famous Christmas supper is steak and crab legs. YUM! We've been doing that now since Blair's been in the family...and it's a big hit! We'll go to Christmas Eve mass at our church in Nevada.
Christmas day we'll head to Ryan and Janelle's and have Christmas dinner and open gifts with the three of them and Mike and Jean Ann. Kayson, Blair's nephew, makes it so much fun. We love watching him open presents...and since he shares a birthday with Jesus he gets LOTS of them on Christmas. I believe Jean Ann is preparing a yummy Christmas dinner, so we're looking forward to that.
Now lets just pray that the weather bypasses us. I worry about our families being on the icky roads.

As far as Baby Tay goes.....We're at 37 weeks, the room is ready, diapers are stocked, bag is partially packed....he can come anytime!
I've still been feeling great, besides some back pain in the evenings. Dr. Gessner says that he's 'petite' and she's guessing we're going to have a 7 pound bundle of joy! We're getting so excited and can't wait to meet this little man!


Merry Christmas everyone! May God bless you ALL this holiday season. Safe travels!

35 weeks!

We're getting closer and closer! 35 weeks!! Someone told me today that I looked like I was going to explode..haha! Little do they know that I have a good 5 weeks left. Everyone comments on this big ol' belly!

Baby Tay's room is finished! My dear friend, Beth, sent me an Uppercase Living saying that I have to put on the wall yet..but after that I'll post pictures! My mom came this past weekend to help me with some last details. She is one excited grandma-to-be. I don't know how many times she opened his dresser drawers to pull out his little clothes or shoes. It's soo cute! The three of us worked on hanging some decorations on the walls.  My mom and I even put his name up, but Blair says were going to have to cover it up because we can't give it away! It just looks soooo cute in there! :) I love just going in there in the evenings to read in the glider rocker! I'm sooo ready....:)

We got our tree up and we're all ready for Christmas! We even got most of our shopping done! The nesting is continuing..I've been cleaning and organzing...driving the hubby NUTS!

Anyways...I don't have too much to say this evening, but I'll share a picture!
