A Few of My Favorite Things

Hard to believe that Christmas is in 3 DAYS!!! 

Christmas for us actually starts tomorrow with my husband’s family. If you are still looking for a perfect last minute Christmas gift for the ladies on your list check out these awesome NIV Beautiful Word Coloring Bibles. They are awesome. Absolutely beautiful Bibles with scriptures you can color. I think my family is going to love them. 


I am officially 30 weeks pregnant and crazy uncomfortable. I was having contractions the majority of yesterday which really put a damper on how much I was able to get done for Christmas as I had to spend most of the day off my feet. Praying she holds out at least 8 more weeks as we are way too early and have nothing ready for her arrival yet. This picture was taken last week at 29 weeks and I swear I am now double that size. 


Speaking of babies I am loving Christmas with this guy…3.5 is such a magical age for Christmas and Santa and we are so looking forward to Monday. Elf on the Shelf has been so much fun this year and last night we Facetimed Santa which was a huge hit (there are tons of great apps out there for this).


Last week was crazy busy but fun. I spent the first half of the week in Marko Island in Florida and even got to go kayaking and see dolphins. The only not so fun part was not having access to a bathroom for several hours – at 8 months pregnant that is not ideal.

My sweet hubby and I were also able to get in a date night last Friday night to see Snow Queen at a local outdoor theater. For those not familiar with Snow Queen it is the story Frozen is based on…we had a blast and literally froze while watching the show.



I hope everyone has the Merriest Christmas!
