Christmas was so wonderful this year, probably because I was off work and truly had the time to enjoy it. Also because of Tony's work schedule, it stretches out over a few days so it doesn't seem to come and go in the blink of an eye. Last weekend we were in Big Bear and then we had a few days in between and then celebrate the actual day of. Christmas Eve, I made Tony and I a batch of homemade spaghetti and meatballs from scratch and the next morning we got up and opened our gifts to each other and attended Christmas Mass before he had to leave to go to work. The mass was beautiful and we are blessed with a great group of priests that always deliver a poignant message in their homilies. Luckily, they made a huge turkey dinner for all the guys on base so Tony didn't miss out on a good hot Christmas meal. I spent the day w/ the Galyean family (my friend Jennifer's family) so I got to see them and of course, Jenn and Dan and Gabriel (our Godson). That would be Gabriel in the above pictures. Jenn made us tamales again this year and Tony is already staking his claim on those for tonight!
I spoke with my Grandma Bev that lives in Portland and they got Christmas snow! Apparentally they were just big, fat snowflakes. I called Belinda next and she said all she could do is stare out the window at the snow all day. It usually doesn't snow in Christmas there. They do get their fair share of snow but it doesn't stick to the ground very long.
My cousin Kalynn got engaged. I'm really excited for her and she is so happy she can barely contain herself. She just called me and asked me to be her maid of honor and I'm so excited. She'll be getting married over the summer so I told my parents they have to go too so we can all take turns with the baby. I guess that's the motivation I'll need to get Weight Watchers rolling for me once the baby is about 6 weeks old.
Tony and I are hoping to connect with his family this coming weekend when he has a few days off. Its tough with his schedule and I know he misses his family.
One of my gifts yesterday was a new all in one printer/scanner/etc so once I get that hooked up, I will post ultrasound photos and all the updates on the baby. There's alot to update so I intend to have that going in the next 24 hours or so. Hopefully sooner.
