our christmas + other happenings

1 These stress tests I have to do are not my favorite but, so worth it. So umcomfortable, the babies hate them! 

2 & 3 Christmas Eve sitting by the tree with my love. We talked about how it was our last Christmas eve as just us. SO crazy! 

4 Christmas morning making breakfast burritos with my love. Well mostly him cooking, I made eggs! 

5 Christmas Eve snuggles after breakfast. Dan surprised me by taking the day off! I loved it. 

6 He then surprised me on Christmas with this amazing sign. My cousin Megan's husband Matt made it {see his work here} it will look amazing in the nursery! 

7 Christmas at the in laws. Next year will be crazy with 3 new babies. {my sister in law is expecing a girl and she is due a week before me}

8 Guys, there is a pack n play in our room and everytime I walk in, it takes me by surprise. I think holy cow we are about to be parents. Ps. This was our Christmas gift to the twins. 

9 Thrity-three weeks preggo today!! 

Our Christmas was low key and perfect. Next year will be so different with two 11 month olds but, we cant wait! We were gifted some amazing gifts and are so grateful for them! I think this year I was the most excited for my Mother in Law to open her gift. We went in on a gift with my Sister in Law and her family. We got her a necklace with all her grandkids initials on it, she LOVED IT! I ordered the necklace from Quiant Collections {my cousins, cousins shop}. 

Did you have a good Holiday? What was your favorite thing about Christmas this year? I know mine but, I can't say yet! lol. 

christmas is next week...

{some pretty pins for your weekend}

so, christmas is next week. holy cow this month is flying by. we haven't been able to do a whole lot of our christmas tradtions this year due bed rest but, its still been a magical time. there is just something about sitting on the couch watching shows or movies by tree light withe dan. 

i've been thinking about next year and how much fun it's going to be with two 11 month olds. crazy to say but, exciting! last night dan and i were talking about taking the twins to see santa next year. i can't wait! or to take them to temple square to see the twinkle lights, and start to teach them about the real meaning of this wonderful season. it's going to be wonderful! i hope they come to love this time of year as much as their momma. 

speaking of the twins, yesterday i was having some pains and wasn't sure if they were concrations or not. so we ended up going to see my doctor. we did a stress test and the babies did great. i was concracting a little but, nothing to serious. it's normal to concract at this stage in the pregnancy. {32 weeks, baby!} we were sent home and everything is fine. im just uncomfortable and have a sore belly but, hey what's new! we just need 3 more weeks and then these babies can come. 3 WEEKS??! i know right. crazy! i can't wait to our little babies and see who looks like who. see what color hair they will have, or eyes and kiss their little faces! 

happy weekend before christmas, loves!!

guys, the halls have been decked

the "halls" of our little home have been decked. well to be honest they have been since before thanksgiving {since we were gone...i wanted to come home to christmas!} i just love having our tree light up, seeing our stocking hung, our cute little santa candle holder, and the apple pie candle burning. we don't have many decorations but i love all that we do. isn't christmas time the best? i wish i could have the decorations up all year. fa la la la....have you posted your decked halls yet? i want to see. leave a link in a comment below!!! 

pssstttt....today is my beautiful momma's birthday! she is the best mom ever. i love her and her selfless attitude. she is always full of great advice and knows how to make me laugh. i love you momma and hope you have a great day! xoxo
