What a fun week

This past week has been really fun for us. Last weekend was a party weekend with little work time for me and no school time for Sean. Yipee!! We saw the movie "The Blind Side" which I would suggest everyone see. It was entertaining, clean, and inspirational. I really liked the actors they picked to play the roles. It's worth paying for at the real theatre rather than waiting for Red box or the dollar theatre.

Thanksgiving was a lot of fun at Sean's aunt and uncle's home. The food was amazing!! I'm kind of sad my stomach is squished up into my ribs because I wanted to eat more than I could possibly fit in there. =) After thanksgiving dinner we played some DDR. Here is Sean's adorable grandmother playing DDR. How cool is that?
We did end up going to the BYU vs. Utah game and it was a blast. What a great game!! Byu pulled it off in over time and it was exciting. At least the weather wasn't snowing but it was quite cold out there that night. Here we are in our BYU gear with our cute christmas tree.

I love having Christmas decorations up, listening to Christmas music, and going Christmas shopping. This is a fun time of year. I've tried to be a little innovative and make a few crafts lately. This is a Christmas card holder. I looked in the stores and they were all over $15 bucks. I decided to make my own. It's super easy if anyone wants to try. Just get a yard stick, clothespins, and ribbon. Decorate it however you want. Hot glue it all together. Then display your lovely cards on it. Now that it's finished I just need some people to send me Christmas cards. =)
Here is the wreath I made. This was fun and very inexpensive. I just bought the plain green wreath at the craft store with a 50% off coupon. Then at the same store I went to the pre-made wreath isle where all the beautiful $40 wreaths are. I picked up all the broken-off, plastic, red berries from the floor and asked if I could take them for free. They said "sure, I guess we'll just throw them away anyway." Then I collected pine cones that had fallen to the ground around the neighborhood. Then I bought a spool of wire ribbon and a 5-pack of ornaments from the dollar store. I glued it all on and tada!! Here is the result.
For the first time in his life Sean got glasses. I tried to take a picture of him but he wouldn't smile for real. My husband hates having his picture taken and rarely cooperates. =) Any suggestions?
I now have weekly doctor's appointments to check on baby. He's still head down and hopefully will stay that way. I'm so excited to meet him. I have all his baby stuff in a pile on the floor and nothing is organized, decorated, or set up. Yikes maybe I should get to that. I had a dream the other night that my water broke and I was 4cm dilated and it was time to head to the hospital. Scary. We have the carseat and stroller in a box. I guess we should set it up to make sure it actually fits in our little car. I think it's going to be a tight squeeze.

You and your crazy dreams. I love it! I loved the movie Blind Side too. I went with a friend of mine, although I would love to take Preston while it's in the dollar theaters. It was definitely worth it. Cute Christmas decor too!

I love you. You picked decorations off the ground and got them for free?? Awesome.

I hope you get our card soon and then you can put it on your card holder!

Love the wreath! Great idea. I should make one sometime. We have a tiny Christmas wreath that I don't think is very cute. I can't believe your baby is due so soon. Time flies.

I am so excited for your baby to be born! It was so awesome to meet Shea and to be getting to know her over time.
With the carseat, I recommend you go to a firestation to have them teach you how to install it correctly before the baby comes. Darin and I had it all wrong and the lady at the firestation taught me a lot.
Have a Merry Christmas!
