My sisters threw a baby shower for me last weekend. I'll admit my anxiety is worse with pregnancy, so I was nervous. But everything turned out great. I'm so grateful for them, they're always so good to me. Here's some pictures from the shower. They had the cutest mustache theme, Jacob liked it especially. It was such a good time! I can't even explain how grateful I am to everyone who came out and supported us for the soon to be arrival of baby Kayla. And on the bright side of being on sick rest this week, I already finished all the thank you cards. Now I just have to mail them… Lol.
The hosts, my sisters and me. Thank you so much for everything! Sadly, Kristine couldn't make it, we missed her.
Christmas was pretty quiet this year, which is nice. It's crazy to think that next Christmas we'll have an 11 month old. I had decided I was done traveling, so we didn't make it to Katy. We stayed here and spent time together, and with Jacob's family. Christmas morning Jacob and I opened presents. Then we went to his parents house and opened a few with them. And then Gina and Stephen had come over around lunch time and we all ate a Christmas lunch! The next day Gina, Stephen, Jacob, and I went to see Into the Woods. That evening we went back to his parents house where Kim and the kids now were and spent some time with them. Jacob had a whole week and a half off for the holidays, I just had a few days and then I went back to work. Here's a few pictures.
By the time I was old enough to remember, we always had a fake tree growing up. I love that Jacob and I have been getting real trees since we've been married. I can't wait for more Christmas traditions as our family grows!
Christmas morning
This goofball is my favorite
How awesome is my husband? He made me a magnetized scrabble board. Love him so much!
So with Jacob's family we do a DIY present exchange. This year I had his brother, Michael. I tried to make him one of those 'daddy shirts'. The back has a racetrack so kids can play cars and massage your back. I failed. Haha. So I ended up making him a blanket instead.
This turned out much, much better. Haha.
And I think it's safe to say he enjoyed it.
This was Jacob's present from his Mom. I love that she even put his name on it.
Some other random happenings in December…
Jacob was asked to help out with a former employer's float in the local christmas parade. He was pretty excited. I thought it was pretty cute.
The puppies.
Sometimes, Leia has a puppy scarf...
We went and saw the west side of Kyle Field get imploded.
Kaboom!
I had to document this for Jacob, I finally parked in one of those expectant mother spots. His response… it's about time. Haha.
