It's begining to look a lot like Christmas and a BABY!!!

Oh how I love this time of year, it is always a time where your schedules are jammed packed with parties, gatherings, family and friends.. I mean life can't get much better than that.. OH WAIT.. yes it can, we can also put up bright shinning lights and decorations that are sure to make you smile even on a bad day! :) And on top of all of this, we can all celebrate the real reason for the season, the birth of baby Jesus!

Here are some pictures from some of the decorating that I have done around the house, it has proven to be a bit challenging this year since I had to find new spots and outlets for everything, but with the helps of Micheal's I think things came together nicely.. ( Hobby Lobby would have been nice right about now! )

I will also note, that I went to a photography class last night to try to learn some more about my camera, so that also inspired my pictures for today, now I really do know that you will have no idea that I tried so hard for these pictures to look good while using all my new functions, but please just pretend you can tell I didn't shoot on AUTO! :)

So this part of the house is looking a lot like chrstimas, however some other things in the house are starting to look like a baby be coming! :)



Drake's sister Jenny gave me this shirt and I am in love with it for many reasons, one being that it is super comfortable! However the other reason is when I wear it out, people read it and smile at me, and I love that someone actually knows that I have a guy or gal inside me making me looking large! :)




This is my bump at this point, you can really only see it if I put my hand there, but when I have only cloths it gets hidden! But soon I think it will just pop!!




This is the stuff we have for the baby room so far..



Happy Thanksgiving!!!

If you were to ask me how I was feeling today, most of you might be asking in regards to my pregnancy, however I would simply respond with two words: Giddy and Thankful!!

My giddiness comes from Drake.. I normally get one week a year that Drake doesn't have to go to work and I get him all to my self, yes I know I am selfish.. but I mean one week out of 52 weeks, I think the NFL is a bit more selfish than I. Normally, I get just one week at Christmas, however I get two this year, now that we do not have to attend Cowboy games( which we are still cheering on) we get to have another week at Thanksgiving, so that means 2 weeks I get him all to myself, ghezz I am greedy! :) So this in itself is enough for me to be thankful this Thanksgiving, however we have been blessed with way more to just be thankful for that.. so here are some of the things that come to mind this Thanksgiving!! ( In no particular order)

1. GOD and the many blessings he continues to bless me with, even when I am undeserving
2. FAMILY for love and support and FRIENDS that are new and old
3. CHLOE.. she is my best little friend
4. Our growing little baby, now if the little one could just tell me if it is a boy or a girl
5. DRAKE!!! for so many reasons, but his Patience to handle me and for his love for our little family
6. New Adventures that are both scary and fun
7. Jobs that provide
8. Food, for the mere since that it gives me simple enjoyment! :)
9. The guy who is now leasing our Dallas house, a nice thing to unload off our backs before the holidays
10. Laughter.. it is just a joyous sound

I could go on and on, but I do realize that you don't have all day, it is time to go eat Turkey!! Love to you all and I hope that you have a very thankful Thanksgiving!!
