This is at 30 weeks. It was so hard to get everything done for Christmas. Wrapping presents with a giant belly is a tricky task!
The day before Christmas Eve I received one of my favorite gifts of all! A couple of my dear Ohio friends came to visit. It has been so long and it was so good to reconnect as if we have never been apart. I feel so fortunate to have made so many wonderful and lifetime friends in the various places we have lived. Heather and Candice were some of the best and I'm so thankful for them.
I was extra fun to see all the kiddos together again. Audrey used to have such a big crush on Isaac when she was a tiny one. I used to babysit little Taylee and Mathis all the time. Mathis was just a wee three months old or so the first time I watched him and now he is so big!
Christmas Eve was such a fun night. Bryan's family came up to our house and we had a big white elephant party and lots of delicious food. We haven't spent Christmas with family for many many years so this was such a nice treat, especially since they were all willing to come all the way to our house.
Jason and Christie and their kids.
Cute Kacie and Patricia.
These girls have a very special spot in their hearts for their Grandma. They absolutely adore her.
After everyone left we let the girls open up pajamas. They looked so cute in their animal print footies. In order to get matching I had to get Lily's in girl's size so it was a little big and she was a little bit disappointed about that. She at least humored me for a picture before she felt it necessary to change. The girls were so excited about Santa and what was to come the next morning.
