A Merry Christmas with a Belly That Shakes Like a Bowl Full of Jelly!

We hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas and are gearing up for the New Year! Our Christmas was quiet and relaxing this year. This was our first time not having any family around. We sure missed everyone, but had a great time being lazy and taking it easy for the day. I stayed in my jammies all day long, which is not much different from most days when I can get away with it! It's so nice to have pregnancy as an excuse to stay comfy. The changing belly and ever shrinking wardrobe makes it easy to stay in p.j.'s!! Every year on Christmas Eve our girls get a new pair of jammies and they were excited to show them off. Emree especially enjoys "striking a pose."




For FHE one night our girls made gingerbread houses. Morgan and Emree also made some at school so our counter was overcome with their creations. Having five made it hard to sneak and throw them away. There was quite a void left on the countertop!
Emree was the one who let us know that we needed to for sure save her's. So far she hasn't notice them gone!



Here's our latest belly shot! Ross, I think I'm starting to pass you up. I saw your tummy on Blake's birthday photo's and you look great! Hopefully the last three months will be good to me, but that is very unlikely. I'm just hoping that Berkley doesn't weigh in over 9 lbs! Only time will tell!



We hope you all have a very safe holiday and want to wish you a Happy New Year! We look forward to seeing some pics of your family from your new camera Jean! You need to take a pic of Cassy and Grandma and post it so that we can see the growth spurt that has taken place!
We are having an 80's New Year's Eve party that Brackon has planned so we'll be sure to share pics. If any of you have any ideas of how to dress a pregnant lady in 80's I'd really appreciate it. We all know that there is NO WAY that I am going to climb into a pair of leggings at this point. I really feel that I should be excempt from the party attire, but I guess that would make me a party pooper! Love you all!

20 weeks pregnant & Twins?!

Okay Ross, you showed me your belly so here is mine! Scary that I have 4 more months to go, but a bit exciting because I'm usually bigger by now, as most of you can attest to!




NO, we are not having twins, but here is Emree's twin! This is one of Emree's little best friends out here. Her name is Lauren and they are in the same Kindergarten class. There teacher got them messed up a lot at the beginning of the year. Lauren just lives up the block from us. They have a great time together. Emree keeps saying that they are twins and we've let her know that they aren't really twins because they weren't born from the same mom. She seems to think that if they lived in the same house they would be and has informed us that she could go live with the Machelli's and assured us that she would come visit us! We would miss her too much. We wouldn't have those cheeks to smooch on!

No pictures

For some reason I can't post any pictures on our blog right now. I'm not sure if it's because I have too many on my latest posts or not so I thought I'd try to post without any and see if that will kick everything into December so that I can put pics on. We'll see!
