Christmas Celebrations

It was a blustery Christmas Day on the coast

Stephen and I have been enjoying a wonderful week off from work. I'm too far along to travel too far which has resulted in an incredibly relaxing week. We spent the first half of the week in Ashland, OR pampering ourselves with a few nights at a lovely bed and breakfast that included a trip to the spa and a Celtic Christmas show. We loved every minute of it but were also excited to return to our home on Christmas Eve so we could wake up at our house on Christmas day. We spent much of Christmas day with some of our friends, the highlight of which was sitting on the floor with their 2 year old son reading a book... Having him there just made me think of how much fun it is going to be to have our little one here in our lives. I'm getting extremely excited (and a little impatient) as my due date draws closer. Only 3 1/2 weeks left of full-time work - yippee!!!

Stephen's new bodyboarding wetsuit - check out his moves!

Love the chutney shot and especially the big, beautiful belly shot!

Hope you are doing well, and we will talk soon.

LOVE Stephen's moves...we miss those moves around here. :) Your belly is GORGEOUS and I love how adorably bundled up you are on the coast. I'm sending you some Christmas goodies (a little somethin' from AUS and another from Thailand, no less!) and can't wait to see more shots from No. CA! Love you!

OMG- you are huge! (and I mean that in the most adoring way possible!) I LOVE that slideshow- just waiting for the new pics to pop up. Brilliant! I can't wait for that little baby to get here! Glad Christmas was a good one. Loved your x-mas card!
