Christmas tree!

My sister and Tara threw me a baby brunch the other day and it was great fun! I felt so blessed to have such wonderful friends and it was especially nice to have a party for Joseph. Unfortunately my camera is really broken (another reason I haven't had as many pics to post) and this is the only good picture I got of the whole party! SAD! But it was still great!
Putting up the Christmas tree was extra fun this year. Clara was so excited about it and she remembered every single thing we unpacked! She kept looking out the window for snow the whole time we were decorating. I am so excited about Christmas this year. I just hope that Joseph waits until after it is over to come. I really don't want to spend this Christmas in the hospital! Clara might start resenting him from day one!!!! Life is so much more fun with Children in it, I cant even imagine how great it is going to be with two!!!! Merry Christmas!

November

This is Gus... Clara's crush at school!
I hate that I have gotten so slack at posting on the blog. It is crazy how busy things have been lately and how every minute I have free I have something that needs to be done. November was a really fun month for us. I have always loved this time of year with Thanksgiving and Christmas. Clara loves it too! She had a party at school where she was an Indian! She chose her Indian name herself. It was Lucky Rabbit! Mrs. Kelly, her teacher, is so sweet and such a wonderful teacher. Clara really loves her and that makes me very thankful! We also had the treat of having Aunt Audra Claire spend the night and go Black Friday shopping with us! Clara really loved that. Especially going to the Bass Pro Shop, where she met Santa. She was very intrigued by all of the "dead" animals and asked Santa several times why his reindeer were dead too! He was so good with her and just informed her that they were magical and came to life on Christmas Eve to pull the sleigh! Way to go Bass Pro Santa! I have done most of my shopping on the Internet this year. Being 7 months pregnant during the month of November has made shopping hard and I have realized that Amazon is the way to go!

Big Sister Party!

Clara had a big sister party at Pablo's Restaurant and loved it! She was more excited about this party then she was about her Birthday! Robby and my family all got together and celebrated her becoming a big sister with dinner and gifts! Clara's favorite gift was her baby boy doll, Joseph, that really drinks and wets! Surprisingly, the doll had the added bonus of being anatomically correct! Robby and I had some explaining to do when we got home. Clara is so excited about her little brother, I think she will be the best big sister!
