Ho Ho Ho

Well, Santa came and went and now all that's left to look forward to this year is the end of it. I actually had a very nice Christmas. Once I got the idea out of my head that we might be able to announce a pregnancy at Christmas dinner, it got a lot easier to deal with. Santa treated me very well this year. I got some new books and perfume, a bracelet, and a charm for my charm bracelet, and a set of new makeup brushes. My parents got us a set of new pots and pans that we just love. We haven't had new pots and pans since well before we got married so we really were in desperate need. Joe had a very nice Christmas as well. He got some video games and the Dark Knight on BluRay. My favorite gift that Santa brought him is ShamWow... from the infomercial. I can't wait to see if it works as good as it does on TV. I'll keep you guys posted.

It was hilarious watching the kids open their gifts this year. Even though Peyton was sick and neither of them really got the opening of the gifts idea, it was still great. They got all kinds of neat stuff. Dinner was very nice too. We had way too much food but it was all really good. Other than that, our Christmas was very low key. We hung around for most of the day just enjoying our new goodies.

We actually have plans for New Years Eve this year. We convinced one of our friends to have a New Year's Eve party so we'll be going down to his house for that. It isn't going to be anything fancy, but it'll be our friends, and that is the most important part. I'm actually heading out the stores today to see if I can find a cute shirt to wear. I hope you all have a very safe and fun New Year!!

There isn't really much else going on with us. We're in a holding pattern to start our IVF stuff. We go to our seminar in two weeks and then just wait. The anticipation hasn't really hit me yet but I'm sure it will. I also don't think I've really grasped the whole idea of what I'm about to go through. That's ok though, I'm kind of enjoying the blissful naivety right now. I'm sure that will all change soon.

Well, time to get dressed and head out to shop. I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and I hope you're planning a fun New Year's Eve!!
