What a great Christmas Season we had at our house... Full and eventful like I'm sure your house was. But at the same time a little more relaxed for me... I was prepared not knowing if a baby would come early. But she didn't... which was OK with us!
Our Christmas was fantastic, I love, love, love being with my little family and seeing the excitement through their eyes on Christmas morning. This Christmas Eve was a little different for us because all my siblings either weren't in town yet, had to work etc. So we did things different... we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner! It was fabulous! We treated my parents to an early B-day present for my Dad... had no mess... and a great time. We did feel bad about not doing the traditional nativity, chimes tradition that we normally do. But we ate early and spent the evening reading Christmas stories together. The kids were excited for their annual PJ's on Christmas Eve..And they all slept in Tayler's room....
Santa definitely found us this year.. And the girls couldn't have been happier!
Shane and I got a King bed on Christmas Eve... so Tayler got new bedding to go on our old queen bed that we moved to her room.
And seriously I don't want to put this picture on here... because I am way past the, "Oh, what a cute belly you have stage." But here goes...
Even the baby got cool new stuff!! And yes we just call her "baby" because we haven't agreed on a name!! One of us likes Lydia... the other Ava. I won't say which one likes what... so feel free to express your opinion in the comments!!
Christmas dinner was at our house that evening. There were 20 of us... actually quite small considering we were missing 3 of my siblings and their families. But I decided I much prefer having Christmas Eve dinner with the fam on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas night. It was a rush to get all of our stuff cleaned up and I was tired... yes it could have to do with the fact that I am 9 months pregnant... :)
But all in all it was fabulous!! I hope yours was too!
Our next big adventure will begin on Tues. morning when we will head to the hospital to be induced with our little one. I can hardly wait to see that little face... and those little toes... and those little fingers...!!!

We sure miss you guys and were really sad we couldn't be there to celebrate Christmas with everyone! Good luck tomorrow, I hope everything goes well. Can't wait to see little Ava... oops I mean Lydia. :) (I personally like them both)
So cute! Love the pics. Your girls are adorable.
I like Lydia. Ava is SO common... just so many little girls have that name...
I have always liked both names, but Lydia is classic and not over used. Good luck Ang!
