We had a wonderful Christmas here at home. I am too far along in the pregnancy to travel too far from my doctors. I have to say it was really nice to not have to travel!! Jonathan's parents and brother came here and were gracious enough to sleep on air matresses! With preparing for the new baby, we no longer have a guest room or bed! :-) It was a little tight, but we managed and truly had a wonderful time. Barbara was SO MUCH help! She brought most of the food for Christmas day with her already prepared. All we had to do on Christmas morning was cook the turkey, put one dish together and heat up the rest. It was great! That's the way to go! Have it all done ahead of time!! This Christmas was much more fun with Emma! She loved opening her gifts and everyone else's!! :) Here are some pictures:

You're right! Preparing in advance is the way to go! Wish I'd done this sooner in my lifetime to prevent the Christmas Day overload.
It was fun... all the pics are great.
when are you due?
Melanie ~ I'm due the 29th, so I'm 36w2 days. Emma came at 37 weeks, so I'm hoping this one will come early, too! :-)
Oh my goodness. You look so much like I did when I was pregnant. There was no hiding it from anyone. Who'd want to anyway? ;)
I can't believe how long Emma's hair is. She's just precious. I can't wait to meet the newest family member! Good luck!!!
