I have to be honest….I just spent about 5 minutes looking up how to spell the plural form of Christmas. It still looks really weird…if it is wrong, please forgive me. Also..I am very sad to report that I do not have any pictures for this post….they will be coming soon!

That’s right! Andrew and I had three Christmases, and all three were wonderful.

Our first Christmas celebration was just Andrew and me. We carried on our tradition from last year of pizza and presents. Meaning, we ordered pizza and then opened presents. It was wonderfully laid back and just what we wanted. Of course, we had to video opening presents, which always turns out to be a hoot. I would put a video up here, but I absolutely HATE hearing my voice on video.

Our second Christmas celebration happened in Dallas with Andrew’s family. We spent several days up there and had a fabulous time. Erin, Brett, Matthew and Joseph came and stayed with us and we had a great time together. Matthew and Joseph have grown so much….Matthew is a ham and cute as he can be, and Joseph is adorable…always wanting to be held (which of course I obliged.) We had snow on Christmas Eve so it was my first ever White Christmas. That was thrilling! Our Christmas in Dallas was perfect, we were sad to see it end.

Last but not least, our third Christmas was in Port Neches. Another wonderful time spent with family. Kelli and Toby came over and we opened presents all together one night, I cooked a couple of meals with mom, and both Andrew and I did ALOT of resting. It was just what we needed. We were also sad to see that time end with my family.

So, I guess I need to address the Baby part of the title. Well….Andrew and I are expecting our first baby this year! We have been waiting a while to share the news with the Facebook and blog world, but the word is out! We are absolutely thrilled and cannot wait for July 15th to come (my due date). This has already been such a growing and learning experience and I know it is not over yet! I am a little over 12 weeks right now and feeling great! We can’t wait to meet our little Peanut.

Little Peanut 8 weeks old!
