let your hearts be light....

so christmas day has come and gone already! wow. it is so weird to even think about next week being 2010 already!

our christmas was really nice. jeremy and i woke up and we opened up our presents for each other. i got him a sweater, assassin's creed II for the xbox 360, zelda: spirit tracks for the ds, where's waldo for the ds, and the complete farside collection books. i have two more presents coming for him and those are his BIG presents. =) he got me a bunch of dvds("the alfred hitchcock collection", "the greatest show on earth", "scaramouche", "the pirate", "meet me in st. louis", and "arsenic and old lace") that i wanted and an owl ornament from the german christmas store and an ornament that was the snowman and rudolph from the classic rudolph movie. my BIG presents from him didnt make it in time either so i still have those coming. before christmas my mom sent us a package of goodies and included was a pair of baby booties for xavier, they are so cute! jenna also sent me a package of things i wanted from the states and got xavier a little onesie! after we opened presents and our stockings jeremy made me waffles and we had that and clementines for breakfast. delicious! then we started watching "meet me in st. louis" but i was falling asleep so we stopped it and i took a nap while jeremy played his new assassin's creed game. i woke up around 1pm and i baked a cake to take to our friends house. i then hopped in the shower and got ready. before we left i called my family to wish them a merry christmas and talked with them for a bit. we got to chris and sandi's house at around 4:30pm and chatted, snacked and played "taboo" for a while. then dinner was done so we ate and watched "elf". after we were done eating we talked for a while and opened up the presents we got for each other. they bought us a cute teddy bear, a blue photo album, another little photo holder, and some blue baby scrapbooking stickers! it was all so awesome!! then we played the new super mario bros wii! it was a lot of fun! i like how you can play with 4 people on that game. i was starting to get tired and so we decided to head home. when we got home from our 2 min walk, i saw that it was 12:30am!! i had no idea it was that late! jeremy called his family and talked with them and then i called some more of mine that i didnt get to talk to earlier. i was so tired that i layed on the couch while jeremy played his game. i think i fell asleep around 2am. jeremy woke me up at around 4 to go to bed. we had a wonderful christmas! =)

today i am 20 weeks pregnant! i am super happy that we are halfway there! xavier is a busy little man! i feel him moving every day and a lot during the day. it is so awesome. jeremy should be able to start feeling him move soon too. maybe in the next couple of weeks. on tuesday we have our BIG ultrasound, which i am super excited about! i am hoping to finally hear xavier's little heartbeat! and im excited to see him moving about for an hour!

next week we are finally buying a car! the woman that is selling it in jeremy's building is finally transferring, which we knew about when we picked the car, but it just seemed like it took forever! anyway, so i am really excited about that! we will finally be able to start traveling and such!

ohhhhh i also forgot to mention that on christmas eve jeremy and i finally got our couch and loveseat that we have been waiting for!! they called on tuesday to tell us something else was in so i called them on wednesday to see if the couch and loveseat were in and they said YES! so jeremy went up there to pay for them so we could definitely have them and on christmas eve he rented a van to bring them home! i was sooo happy! it is so nice to finally have a living room set and we even hung pictures! yay!

all in all we had a very wonderful christmas and i am looking forward to new years!

just some things!!

i have been browsing pretty much my favorite site, for birthday presents and baby gifts! esty.com! i love this website and have made many purchases on there. our nephew eli is going to be a little over three months when we get to meet him and so i am getting together a bunch of goodies for him! i love babies and love to spoil them! so naturally im getting him some super cool stuff! i havent purchased much for him, but here are my first two finds; cute little applique onesies from verykiki.etsy.com

i thought the guitar one was perfect since josh plays guitar! the whale one is just too cute! kristen was very nice and she actually didnt have a 3-6 month guitar onesie posted but immediatly posted one for me to buy!

my next two etsy finds are all organic cotton crocheted rings(which i love) from locomomomma.etsy.com for his car seat. the picture below shows what they look like hanging, the ones i purchased are various shades of green and brown. i was looking for a rattle but ended up purchasing these. i know how much my little sisters loved having things hang from the carseat to play with, and thought he would enjoy these! along with the rings i purchased the clutchie to attached it to the carseat. i thought that was pretty clever and easy! that way they can take it anywhere and attach it to anything they want. =)

so those are my baby finds! i have a little less than a month until he gets here so i am going to continue to browse and find cute little things here and there.

now, my next find is a birthday present. emily's birthday is on the 20th of august and her and adam are going to be here on the 21st so i have to get a move on on her present. i cant post what it is on here because she could possibly look and see what it is, but it is really beautiful. once i get it and give it to her i will post a picture of it. =) i am really excited for them to come up! we havent seem them in like 5 months so it will be awesome!!

afton texted me today and might be coming up next weekend!! so that means that i am going to see her 2 times before we move, which would be amazing! i am so excited and hopefully she does come up then, if not, she will probably come up the weekend before we leave! yay!

anyway, i am about to head out to nikki and jims to have dinner and watch "coraline"!! im excited to see this movie. i wanted to see it in theaters but never made it. it came out yesterday and i bought it today to watch it.
