Holiday Decor Ideas

I need to get going on my Christmas decor! The tree is still in the garage, the decorations are in a box in my mom's basement and the wreath is wrapped in plastic under one of the beds. 

I did, however, clean off the mantel and the dresser in the family room to make way for Christmas stuff...... that's progress, right?

Anyway, there's a great holiday link party going on in the blogosphere right now that I wanted to share with you. It's sure to be a great resource for ideas as you get ready for the holidays.

We Are Thankful

.... for the brand new arrival we're expecting in May. We're having a baby! And don't worry, we won't be naming him or her "A-Da" which is what this little one suggests every time we ask her!

This is an outtake from our Christmas card photo shoot this weekend. She's such a ham.... I mean, seriously, this girl LOVES an audience.

By the way, I'm so excited to show you our Christmas card. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I don't want to give the goods away before I send them out, so you'll have to wait until closer to Christmas to see it.

How was your Thanksgiving? Ours was nice. I've been feeling so sick - (I'm talking 24/7 morning sickness for the last two months, which explains my absence.) but I was able to enjoy dinner on Thanksgiving.

Don't let that smile fool you. This is what Ana really thought of Thanksgiving dinner:

When did she become a picky eater?! (And yes, she did eat without clothes on. All I can say is her clothes ended up in the wash much earlier in the day than expected. Things never go as planned with a one year old!)

I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving weekend too.... and aren't yet overwhelmed by all the things that need to get done before Christmas!!
