Izzy & Georgia BFFs at Grandma Kathy's

Christmas Morning

Poor Dave woke up at 6 this morning very sick and puking this morning. Strangly, this is exactly how last Christmas went! All was fine last night. He was even out until past dark clearing a bunch of trees out back. No signs of sickness. Then it hit him hard and fast this morning. He propped himself up in his recliner and was a good sport throughout present opening. He didn't move from the chair until about 4 PM. Needless to say, I didn't make my usual swedish pancake Christmas breakfast. The girls and I are all doing fine and aren't sick at all.

Gracie was the first up this morning and went nuts for the tree and presents. We didn't put any presents out until last night after the girls went to bed. We told them Santa was coming, but weren't sure if Georgia really understood...though she seemed very excited! Gracie just kept squatting down and jumping up with little squeels all morning. Georgia slept in an extra hour past Gracie and was equally thrilled with the presents Santa left, but was very good and didn't touch them until Grandma got here to opening them with us.

They were busy all day playing legos, Mr. Potato Head, Elmo and Dora. They also kept on PJ's (several pairs) all day too! Grandma read Elmo and Dora books to the girls. Those of you that know Georgia know she can't sit still for more than a minute so it's hard to get her to look at books. Gracie however, can sit in one place for hours when a book is involved! Georgia mostly sat on Grandma's back and ran in circles around here during story time:)

All in all, it was the best Christmas ever and Georgia would like to "do-again-mama". Dave is up eating chicken noodle soup and setting up my new espresso machine for me, so even he is feeling better. Enjoy the photos. There weren't many since the kids rarely sad still long enough for a shot.

Cousin Nancy's Christmas Party

Georgia was in love with Travis, Nancy's big dog and Gracie was crazy for the baby toy stroller. The girls had a ball staying up after bedtime to play at Nancy's.

Cookies and baby update

We have a little Christmas party to go to this afternoon so I made my first batch of real decorated Christmas cookies. They were tons of fun, but took forever! Dave was very helpful eating all the rejects:)

I had my 23 week doctor's appoiontment yesterday and baby boy is doing great. His heartrate was 140 bpm and he's getting bigger every week. We have one boy name we really like, but it's not set in stone yet. Hopefully we can come up with one before he's born!

We now have a boy's room and a girl's room in our house. We moved Gracie out of her room and into Georgia's 2 nights ago. It's going perfect and everyone is still sleeping 12+ hours! I'm so happy!!!!
