I can't believe it's already Christmas.  I've spent the whole week baking (54 cookies and 2 pies to be exact).  It's Christmas Eve, so this will be short and sweet.  I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

Jason and I started taking the annual "Christmas Card Photo" our first Christmas together in 2007.  Over the years, we've added dogs, and soon we will add a baby.

We're 27 weeks this week, and definitely starting to look big.

I usually have all of the Christmas decorations up in a day or two.  This year, it has taken over a week to get everything out.  Pregnancy has really slowed me down!  Here are some of my favorite decorations:

{Wreaths on the windows.} {Light up wooden tree on the porch.} {My new ornament from McAlister's!} {St. Louis Cardinals snow village.} {Regular snow village.} {Musical houses from Hallmark and nutcrackers.} {Elves above the kitchen cabinets.} {Christmas pillows!  I made the one in the front from an old "ugly" Christmas sweater.}

Some are new this year and some are repeats (like the lovely Cardinals village).  I'm 26 weeks this week.  I'm sad that I missed the annual Christmas ballet this year.  There was no way I was trying to squeeze into a ballet dress and get in front of people.  Oh well.  I plan on being back next year, baby in tow.

Even though Jason's birthday isn't until December 10th, we celebrated yesterday by going to a Ram's game to see his favorite team the 49ers play.  Unfortunately for us, the hometown team won in overtime.

I feel like I've been pregnant for two years.  It's only been 25 weeks.  This probably has a lot to do with my due date being pushed back two weeks.  I'm already uncomfortable all the time and I take naps constantly.  At Christmas time I'm usually running around non-stop getting things accomplished, but this year I have to stop and rest.  It is frustrating.  It will be worth it in the end.  Plus, next Christmas I'll have a cute little baby to buy for!
