Christmas Tidings

7 days until Christmas!!! I can hardly believe it! This holiday season seems to be just rushing right past me. So much has happened in the last month, which also contributes to my lack of blogging.

Last week, Brayden came home from daycare with the flu. It was a nasty little bug that he decided to share with the whole family....including his mom, dad, aunt and uncle. We are all on the mend and praying that this was enough to keep us healthy through the rest of the holiday season.

I am now 24 weeks pregnant. The time is going so fast. It is hard to believe that I am over half way there. In a little less than 4 months, we will have a new little guy to care for. I am feeling great, except for the lack of energy and motivation. I was really hoping that after my first trimester, that would all come back, but no such luck. It could partly be contributed to chasing around a mischievious two year old!

Brayden is very much looking forward to the arrival of Santa. I must admit that we have told him on a few occasions that if he isn't a good boy, that Santa won't be visiting. That seemed to shape him up for a bit. It is definitely going to be a very fun Christmas with him this year as he is beginning to understand the whole thing a little better. We have a very busy Christmas day planned with trips to both sets of grandparents. He is going to be spoiled beyond belief!

Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to the last month....

Building a snow tower with daddy.

All finished! He screamed when he had to come inside! He didn't want the fun to end. He LOVES playing in the snow!!
