A Blank X-Mas

We had a very nice holiday starting with a short but sweet visit from my little bro, Ian. He stopped over on his way to Seattle, where the Dowey's were spending the holidays with Heather.

Ivonne, Bill, and Ben were all able to make it out to spend the holidays with us. Alex had to work nights through x-mas, but was lucky to have a few days off at the end of the week to enjoy with his family. It was a great visit. Also, Alex had worked a Craiglist deal in Florida, so we were able to get a Chariot Trailer for the babe in pristine condition. This is the Cadillac of kid trailers-its a stroller, running stroller, hiking stroller, bike trailer, and best of all a SKI trailer! By combining this deal with another (Alex style) we have all the components for half the price! Thank you very much to Bill and Ivonne for helping us with this and lugging it out here for us!

We got a new camera with lots of fun features, that we had to try out as you see below. The snow feature is perfect for our conditions, the pic of Alex and I came out great with this feature on.....

And the last is Alex's favorite-me barefoot and prego (22 weeks) in the kitchen. I have to say I appear a bit bigger in this picture than I really am right now-maybe it was the belly-bump feature on the new camera:) Or the fact that I bought myself some maternity clothes to grow into...a little big-but they are very comfortable:) We hope everyone had a great holiday and a happy New Year!
