We went to Dave's parents house the Sunday before Christmas. It was so great to be able to spend so much quality time with them. This is the picture I probably would have used if I did a Christmas card this year, and now you know why I didn't do a Christmas card.
Audrey loved watching Fafa's train go around and around and around...
The wonder of Christmas...
We opened a few presents on Christmas Eve, and Audrey LOVED her tent she got from her grandparents,
and I LOVED the quilt that my talented sister-in-law made for Brother!
Audrey didn't know how she felt about Santa coming. I guess the idea of a fat man in a red suit kinda freaked her out. On Christmas Eve, when Dave and I were putting her to bed she kept saying, "No Santa come!" I told her Santa was going to bring her presents and then she would say, "Yes! Santa come! Presents!" Then, "No Santa come!" She was so confused as to what she wanted. She finally made up her mind that it was okay for Santa to come and bring presents.
Christmas morning! Audrey had to make sure that Santa ate the cookies she decorated for him the night before, and of course he had. Santa was hungry for sugar cookies!
Whenever anyone asks Audrey what she got from Santa she always says, "Care bear!" When she pulled this out of her stocking, she came to me and put the care bare on my belly and said, "For Brother!" I think she thought since it was green it must not be for her. Welcome to a whole new pallet of colors little miss.
Audrey definitely "got" Christmas this year. We did Christmas with my family a few weeks before and Audrey would open one gift and want to play with it. It took her awhile before she wanted to open another one. By Christmas, she had changed her ways. She wanted to open, and play with, everyone's presents.
New Years Eve.
My fabulous in-laws let us come back over and party at their house for New Years. My sister Melissa and her little family, and our friends Jocelyn and Brady came to party with us. We played Rock Band most of the night and had a blast. They boys thought they were pretty good with their serious concentration faces...
but obviously the girls rocked the house. I'm not gonna lie. I'm a pretty good rock star, even with this humongous belly of mine.
Happy New Year Audrey girl. Off to bed, we didn't want to start 2008 off on a crabby note.
Happy New Year! We watched Dick Clark (heartbreaking) and the ball drop and drank our "sparkling" drinks.
Bruce and Marianne (aka Faf and Memor)
Mimi and Gooke (Melissa and Luke)
Jocelyn and Brady (Joslynn and Bady)
Dave and I (Daddy and Mama)
And of course we couldn't forget the darling sleeping babies, Audrey and Savy.
Happy 2008 everyone! This year will bring lots of change to our little family, with the most exciting being out little baby boy coming in March. Life is good.

It looks like you guys had a great holiday! You are looking so cute! Only a couple of more months! Email me if you get a chance because I would love to know how things are going (ie the move, boards, the pregnancy!). I know Dave will do awesome on his boards and I hope that he takes them soon for you! Anyhow, we love you and miss you!
I REALLY appreciate you changing my picture to black and white-- I know how awful I looked by the end of that night and I would have died to have the evidence on your blog! :) Cute Audrey-- I want her to sing me a lullaby right now!
I'm glad you tried again, it looks like you had a fun night, Jim's jealous of the Guitar Hero! Happy new year!
That picture is embarrassing. I thought everyone was going to get as into as I did. I mean we were a rock band after all! I especially love the picture of the baby monitors. Oh, and the camera work on the one with you, Audrey, Dave and the sparkling cider.
I really want to play rock band. It sounds like so much fun. It sounds like you had such fun for the holidays. Now just get Dave done with boards so you can have your husband back.
I'm so glad you posted more pictures! I miss that little girl and like seeing pictures of your belly. Give her a kiss for me.
I just found the Six Tunnels half marathon--they're doing it again on a Saturday in March. Are you game? :)
