Christmas Night with the Principe's

Usually the Principe's come over on Christmas eve before the church service and we celebrate with them, this year since everyone is so busy and the family's are growing we weren't really going to get together. Well, my cousin Farryn wasn't having that, she insisted that we all get together on Christmas night for dessert and coffee if nothing else, so thats what we did. I am really glad we got to spend the time with them, it's hard to get everyone together these days so I am glad we got to have Christmas dessert with them even if it was only for a short while.This was the last picture i could get him to take, he was pictured out from the holidays LOLMy cousin Farryn and her boyfriend JTMe and my cousin Katelyn

Christmas Day at Nana and Papa's

Ever since I was a child, we have always spent Christmas day at my Nana and Papa's house, so this year was no different. We all packed up Christmas morning and drove across town to spend the day with nana and papa and my Aunt Toni and cousin Shelton. We always have such a wonderful time over there and appreciate them preparing Christmas Lunch for all of us!!

Christmas Eve

For the past few years we have celabrated Christmas with my parents on Christmas eve. This year for some stupid reason LOL my mom and I decided we would wait until the last minute to wrap all the Christmas gifts. We went to the Christmas eve service at church and then came home and started wrapping. We finally got done wrapping around 10:00 just so everyone could turn around and open them up about 2 minutes later. HAHA. You can see below the guys waiting patiently in the living room while we finished up wrapping. I told her next year we will definentally start a little earlier. Thanks mom and dad for the gifts, we really appreciate them. John got a remote control helicopter that he has been wanting FOREVER...all he and the boys wanted to do all night was play with it, and it's not exactly the quietest thing. We also got some money (which is always nice) and they are going to pay for us to have a 4D sonogram in January. I am so excited. I will definentally post some pictures of Kaylee once we get them!! Thanks again mom and dad! Me and Mom wrapping on Christmas Eve Jordan waiting patiently for his presents to be wrapped! Me and my dad, it was getting late and I was looking a little rough!!

Christmas with the Kirklands

Since John's dad had to work on Christmas eve and Christmas day, we decided that we would celebrate Christmas with them Sunday night. We went to Red Lobster for lunch and then back to their house to open gifts. We had such a great time with them and are very appreciative for everything they did for us. John got some new clothes, gift cards, calogne, and his dad got him a new gun...I think that was his favorite. I got some stuff from Bath and Body Works, and gift cards for clothes (which I am in desperate need of). And Kaylee got a new onesie and some stuffed animals. The batteries were dead in my camera so I don't have any pictures of our night over there, but I just wanted to tell them thanks for everything, we really appreciate it!!

Belly Buddies!!

I thought this was a cute picture so I decided I would share it. This was at our Christmas Eve service at church, since Tracy was wearing green and I was wearing red we thought we would make a cute picture with our bellies. John was taking the picture and said that we were so big that he couldn't get both of us in the picture, thats why we were laughing (we smacked him afterwards of course). She is due in February and I am almost as big as her...yikes..I'm gonna be huge!!!

So blessed!!

Just wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone who has gotten things for baby Kaylee, especially our parents who have done so much for us. When we first found out I was pregnant, my mom and dad bought us our all of our bedroom furniture and I love it. I can't wait to get it all put together and get some pictures up. Since my mom will be keeping Kaylee during the day while we work, she went ahead and bought her a set of the same furniture for the nursery at her house. Her an I are working on it now and will be done with it pretty soon. John's parents suprised us last week with the travel system that we wanted. I saw it at Target a while ago and then went back last week and we found out that the pattern I wanted was being discontinued and there was only a few left. The next day John was at his parents house and came home with it. Apparently she heard me saying that we were going to have to pick a new one and she went and got it for us. I was so excited. I can't wait to put it together. We went ahead and got the pack and play that matched the travel system for Kaylee for Christmas since I wasn't sure if that was being discontinued too, as you can see I couldn't wait to set it up. We have gotten so many outfits and other cute things for her as well. I can't wait until she gets here and can use all her new stuff.

Christmas Dinner at Mortons

This year my mom and dad took us to dinner at Mortons as one of our Christmas presents. It was me and John, my mom and dad, my brothers Phillip and Jordan, and Phillips girlfriend Lindsay. My parents had been there before but none of the rest of us had ever been. We all really enjoyed the food and hope we will be able to go back soon. I didn't remember to take any pictures of all of us there, but I have a few of us from when we got home.
Looks like I may have eaten a little too much! HAHA!

20 Weeks...Halfway there!!

Well I am officially done with the first half of my pregnancy. I just hope the second half goes as quickly and as smoothly as the first. This picture is a little old, I am actually 22 weeks now, and it's a little blurry. But I just wanted to let everyone see how big Kaylee has gotten. HAHA!! The doctors said I am doing great with my weight gain, but I feel like a house HAHA. I am hoping I have no problems getting it off. I am feeling her moving all around now and it is such an amazing feeling. John and I are having such a great time preparing for her and are anxious to meet her.

This picture was taken by our tree at work. Sorry it is not clear, I'm not sure what happened!!
