It's been a while since our last post. What can I say... we've been busy! And we are horrible about taking pictures. That and Rylee hates having her picture taken. Anyway, we had a great Thanksgiving weekend. The Bend Craig's came up for the weekend and the kids had a blast playing together. Rylee is finally old enough to join in on all the fun. Friday we had more family over and hosted our 2nd ever Thanksgiving dinner. Everything was delicious... kudos to Lance!
After everyone left today we put up Christmas decorations and decorated our tree. My very favorite time of year. The house looks so festive and ready for fun and holiday cheer.
Rylee had fun decorating the tree. She got bored after putting about 5 ornaments up, so then she moved on to going through the boxes looking for her favorite ornaments. Her favorites this year are a little kitty in a stroller (one that I bought the first year I had my kitty Charlie), and a new Dora one that Grandma bought her.
I must say it looks pretty good. And there are already presents under the tree! Lance took me to Seattle for a night last weekend and we spent 2 days shopping downtown... lots of fun! There is just something about being downtown Seattle in the winter... the pretty lights, crisp air. We had fun spending time together just the two of us. That rarely happens!
This is a pic from a couple of weeks ago- at 24 weeks. I feel like I'm getting a lot bigger, and fast. I have gained quite a bit of weight in the last month and am definitely feeling it. My belly is always achy and itchy from all the stretching. This pregnancy has been a lot different (and a lot more uncomfortable) than the last one. I think chasing around a 2 year old doesn't help with the fatigue either. According to all the pregnancy books, today I am officially in my 3rd trimester (I'm at 27 weeks). I'll post another pic next week when I hit the 7 month mark!
