Christmas 2009

I hope everyone had a good christmas! We did, it was an early start and we all became fairly irritable by the end of it lol. But between prodromal labor keeping me up all night, and Alice waking up at 6:30 it was to be expected.
So, here are some pictures of our wonderful christmas morning! They are all going to be big because photobucket once again changed the way there system works and I am not in the mood to figure it out right now lol
So, click on the pictures to see the full thing. If that makes sense.


Alice investigating her stocking


Alice happily opening the present for her new baby brother or sister


Alice moved alot after her discovery of the Kitchen my dad bought her, she was excessivly happy to get it. This was the first picture I took after she stopped jumping and wiggling


Alice got some great dress up things: A dress from Gandma Ethington a Veil from aunt Liz and a color belt from me - and in true Alice style she had to put all of them on and keep them on all day. (and yes I am still large and uncomfortably pregnant)



See, told you lol


And don't worry, we didn't forget about Anna in all this. She has literally been waiting for a week for this bone. In fact we accidentally put it out too early last night and the poor dog spent the ENTIRE time Dan and I were watching a movie staring at it.

Funny thing about Alice - she bought the bone. Noticed thats all Anna got in her stocking and was very concerned that Santa forgot Anna. There is not pulling anything by this kid. Next year - Santa cannot forget Anna.

Another one

I have so much more to post... but you have no idea how out of it I am lately. I hate the end of pregnancy...

Thanksgiving and the begining of December

Can you beleive that its December already? I can't - In fact it creeps me out just a little bit. We had a lovely Thanksgiving spent running around visiting all sorts of family, but thats ok. After all, that is how holidays are supposed to be and seeing as we won't be able to do it at all for christmas it was good to be able to fit everyone in early. But our busy week, followed by a 'normal wee' begat lots of pictures - so please bear with me :)

Why Merry Christmas

We did this one last year - but it still happened to be our favorite for this year too... I will probably do another one though as Alice's head looks a little dissembodied at times.
Merry Christmas
