12 weeks!!!

We were lucky enough to get to see the baby this week. I felt so much better seeing the heartbeat and knowing that it's healthy and strong! At 12 weeks we were able to get such great pictures!!! I had an awful fever and sickness this past week and just knowing the baby is safe and sound makes me a happy mamma!

Here the baby is sucking it's thumb
And here is my normal child, big head, big feet! All I know is that it's absolutely perfect and I can't wait until March to find out what we will be having. I know it's another girl, but still excited to have another beautiful baby!!!

More Christmas

Christmas eve was so much fun this year. We got to go to both our parents houses and celebrate with them. We started the day off at Scott's mom's house and had our own private time with them which was really special. The girls love to see them and especially Bryce!

Then we headed over to my parents and the girls had a ton of fun there. They also get private time with GG and papa so it's very special for them, but then the cousins get there and the party gets started!!!
I know it's not the most clear picture, but this was her face for every present she opened!
The foursome got matching pj's this year again and I can not tell you how much they love to run around in their jammies from GG. We always have so much fun over there and my parents always out do themselves.

Christmas morning, and the greatest gift of all is waking up to these too!

We had such a fun time this year because Hannah and Leah both were so excited about everything this year!

Then we got to have our third Christmas with my sister Kryste. The girls love their Auntie so much and always have so much fun seeing her.
We all had such an amazing holiday this year and I could not be more grateful for the blessings that I have been given.

Our lil gummy bear....

We are expecting our third and quite excited about it! This is the first sighting of the lil ball of trouble. You are so cute, and so small, kinda like a little gummy bear. Yet, I don't like you so much right now. You are making me super moody, extremely hungry, insanely nauseous and really fat. However, I know you will be worth it. I love you so much already and it's so fun that the girls are excited about you as well. This is me at 7 weeks preggers and I get to see you again in two more weeks! Hopefully you will be nicer to me by then. xoxoxox

Christmas festivities number 1....

There is always so much to see and do on Christmas that is why it must be done in two different posts. I love that this year the girls were super into the holiday as a whole but also excited about the meaning. Hannah is at that age, Leah could still care less, where she understands the meaning of CHRISTmas. She understands the point and the importance behind such a sacred time of year.

We built our gingerbread house, or the Manger as Hannah called it. And it was a lot of fun to do this year. We built it while our friends were over and were also building one. It was a great family night and maybe next year I'll relinquish more control to the kids... maybe.

We went to look at the lights like we do every year and we had so much fun. This time around we decided to walk it instead of driving and Leah loved it, Hannah slept. Every house, "Mamma take my picture!" She cocked her head to one side and posed at E-V-E-R-Y house.
We walked it with hot chocolate and great company. We love doing this tradition but more now that Leah had fun too.
This is my friend Natalie and she is so much fun. We had a blast and this is a great description of the two of us. Minus the hairy chest for me, I shave now. :)
Hannah and her school teacher Miss Melissa.

We had our ward party and that was so much fun! I had to get a picture of the girls before they messed up their clothes with candy and food. My girls are so cute, sweet and so un photogenic.
Leah was not scared of the big man this year. I think this guys gap was very warming to her. They loved to tell him what they wanted. But I think Hannah is worn out of the whole "Santa" thing. She even told me that this was not the "real" Santa, that this was just his helper. What the???

I could not resist. This kid will be going to a fat camp if she keeps up her candy addiction! She eats so much she throws up! But non the less, she is cute even if she has it in her teeth all the time.
Hannah and her friends decided to sing Jingle Bells at the ward party for everyone. They did a great job included with a bow from Hannah. What a ham! We had a great holiday this year and can't wait to show you more!
