What's New?

Well November went by in a flash! We went to Cory's parents' house for Thanksgiving this year. We played tons of games, ate lots of good food, and did some shopping too. I guess I only took this one picture while we were there... Adam and Ethan really wanted to help Grandpa peel the potatoes for the Thanksgiving dinner!


Wednesday, December 2nd, I threw a birthday party for Jonathan. He requested a Transformers party this year. We played pin the head on Optimus Prime and Transformer Bingo! Jonny designed his own cake this year. He asked for chocolate cake with green frosting and skittles on top. So he helped me decorate his cake before the party. Jonny had so much fun with his friends, at the end of the party, they didn't want to have to go home. I was happy to get this party in before our baby girl arrives later this month!

Here are the pictures I took of Baby Girl's room all put together!(click on pictures to enlarge) I had painted her room back in October and made all the bedding for her crib, including the matching curtains! The quilt draping over the crib is the project I most recently finished for the baby, I am quite pleased how it turned out. I also made cordinating paintings and framed them. I still want to make a cover for the rocking chair, but I'm feeling pretty tired lately and will most likely spend my energy on making her some cute burp cloths. I'm almost all the way packed for the hospital and am very anxious to meet this cutie pie!


















On Thursday December 3rd I went to the doctors for a check up. She said the baby looked like she was measuring big and ordered an ultrasound for that same day. The ultrasound tech said that she was estimated to be 7 pounds and 3 ounces already. He also said my due date looked like it should be December 24th instead of January 2nd! So we will see when she comes just how big she turns out to be! I took a picture of the ultrasound picture, sorry I didn't want to get the scanner out.


Saturday December 5th... Christmas Party!!
So we ventured to the church Christmas party. They provided lunch and had a ton of games the kids could play. Megan got her face painted, Jonny won a giant cupcake in the cupcake walk, Ethan liked fishing for candy and toys and Adam enjoyed eating all his candy before we even left for home. Before the party was over we headed over to get our picture taken with Santa Claus!! Ethan was nervous and didn't want to stand more than a foot closer to Santa and Adam liked going up to Santa but was very nervous sitting on his lap. Adam calmed down after Santa presented a goodie bag to him. Ohh the power of candy! When we were leaving Adam kept saying "Gangkoo Ho Ho!" and "Bye Ho Ho!".
