Christmas brings...

My third trimester!!! It was official Christmas day. I have 13 weeks left! I cannot believe it! It seems like it is going by so fast. With school starting up the first week in January, I feel like it is going to go by even faster. We went to the Strebin's for Christmas day and got to hang out with the Guthrie side of the family. Ben's cousin Amy is also pregnant and is due about 10 weeks after me. It is fun to have so many people pregnant :) I won a Gap gift card for the family Christmas exchange that I am going to try and spend on me, but lets be serious... it will most likely get spend on little baby Payton. It's just so hard not to!

We hung out with Sadie and the kidlets for a couple of hours on Christmas eve. I wish we could have spent more time with them. They are so much fun! Miriam was dancing and singing "We wish you a merry Christmas" very beautifully. We got the girls some makeup and little boxes to keep it in that I wrote out their names on. They had a lot of fun putting it on. I tried to get Emma more grown up make up. I think she liked that. Then Johnny got some Spider man and Wolverine bionacles. He was pretty excited. I can't believe how fast they are growing up! I want them to stay this little forever!

We opened up Christmas presents on Christmas eve since Rachel (Ben's sister) and Josh (her fiance) had to drive up to Tacoma that night so Josh could work the next day. We got to hang our with them all week and play Settlers of Katan. It was such a fun week! I love those guys. I wish we lived closer together! Ben and I got each other bags for Christmas. I got him a Timbuk2 messenger bag that I customized to have an orange logo and be orange on the inside. It is a very nice bag that he really wanted.

Ben got me a Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag. (Which I now realize it not exactly the one pictured, but its really close and moving pictures around on this thing is annoying so I'm not going to change it.) It is pretty sweet! I am super excited about it. My mom and dad got me a really cute bag/purse that is HUGE and I can also use for a diaper bag, so I am set :)

Those were our major gifts. We got lots of great stuff from friends and family. It's pretty crazy to think that next Christmas we will have a little 9 month old. I can't wait!!!
