Merry Christmas!

For Christmas Eve and Christmas this year, we headed to Springville for festivities with the family.

On Christmas Eve, we got a visit from Santa Claus! :) Steven was not sure what he thought....but having cousins nearby to help him out is a great thing! Our little family with Santa Steven opening up his Christmas Eve present (Jammies, but he wouldn't pose for a picture)

Steven playing connect 4. It is his new favorite game I believe

Christmas morning - checking out the loot from Santa!

Steven loves his new Little People Farm!

He also got these really awesome blocks from some of his cousins. His face in this picture was just after he was saying "help me nice!"

It was a wonderful relaxing holiday! We hope it was great for everyone else!

Rowley Christmas

We were able to head down for a quick trip to Richfield the weekend after Christmas to have a fun get-together with my family. There were so many pictures, I only was able to pick a few.

Steven and Tait havin' fun with the hammers Steven got this great yellow truck from his cousin. He loves it!

Grandma's Christmas pyramid was a big hit. For some reason Steven thought it was so funny to say "hot!" and pretend to blow out the candles

It was hard for me to get a picture of his Christmas jammies. He just does not want to hold still for pictures anymore.

Just a hangin' out

We were having fun with the little man the other night dressing him up in Daddy's coat. Obviously the dressing up fun isn't just for infants ;) Of course....little gloves are cooler than daddy's This morning Steven discovered one of the baby swings. He's been having a LOT of fun playing in it all morning.

When I tried to explain to him that the swing was for baby sister, he went and grabbed his baby, and pretended to fall asleep with the baby in the swing. As you can tell, he thinks he's pretty funny :)

Also, I noticed my count down has 23 days left. Kind of crazy! Nothing too exciting has been happening. I've had quite a few braxton-hicks contractions this week, but I can definitely tell they are not real contractions by any means. We are going to talk to a doula this weekend about massage techniques to help make laboring easier before we go to the hospital. I'm definitely excited.

Also, I've been considering taking my blog private....not sure if it will happen or not, but stay posted!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! (and Happy Post #300!)

We did our part of the deal.....

Now we're enjoying the fact that Mother Nature is doing her part!
