This Christmas Jason and I stayed in Colorado. For Christmas Eve we went to our church's candle light service which was standing room only! From there we had our semi-traditional steak dinner. It snowed all night and Christmas morning we had quite a cover with it coming down for 4-8 inches more that day. We actually broke the Christmas Day record for snow in Colorado.
We invited our friends Chris and Susan to join us for Christmas lunch and they invited a couple with a 2 year old son and one on the way and a man that his wife and child were away for the holidays. The two men were the pastors of their church. Within 10 minutes of their arrival and minutes of my warning that Sidney was not kid friendly.....Sidney got their 2 year old on the lip. It did not break the skin and was just a scratch and according to the other Susan the child went to Sid's food bowl while he was eating.....but none of this made the situation any less humiliating and embarrassing. We were just so thankful that they little boy was not actually hurt - but just scared. So that incident was a bit hard to get over! Then Jason and I got to spend the afternoon and evening together just enjoying the snow and warmth of inside.
Between Christmas and New Year's we had more snow so Jason got to come home early. Since I'm off through January 3rd it was nice to have him home during some of my holiday. We were also able to meet Emily, Correy & 8 month old Ella for dinner. We had such a great time that we are going to try to be better about getting together with friends and have a dinner date planned with Lindsay and Ryan for after the new year.
New Year's Eve was spent watching Clemson in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Wanda & Jim were there live so we had fun looking for them on TV. We rang in the New Year as the last one before baby boy gets here in May and celebrated with sparkling cider!
Speaking of baby boy he moves every day now and Jason and a girlfriend Emily have even been able to feel him. My girth is getting bigger and bigger and it seems like I am going to be all belly. Baby boy also got several Christmas gifts and clothes and items from the grandmothers since Christmas. The rate things are going we won't have to worry about buying clothes for a while.
New Year's Day we had our home group over for a potluck. Being southern, Jason and I provided the black-eyed peas (and rice) and collard green (with cornbread) for our pennies and dollars for the new year.
Picture in blue was taken New Year's Eve - and I had to use the one where the ferocious Sid Vicious got in it! He said, "be afraid....be very afraid...rooow." The other two are New Year's Day.
