Most importantly our precious baby bean! First though in order to get through 2009, you gotta get through the holiday season....which thankfully has been very easy so far. Of course like every other Christmas season the hustle and bustle is like every other year, this year though one great thing was different, well two. First is the pregnant part and the second part was about 6 inches of beautiful fluffy white snow!!! We never get snow, especially nothing of any accumulation so to get 6 inches was really impressive. As much as I loved it, I was sort of glad to see it go. See here in Virginia we just don't function in snow like other states that are used to it.
Somehow we survived :).
I did enjoy being with family this Christmas, but more enjoyed that we just kept everything really low key. I was sorry that we were not able to travel to see all of our family, but we felt that staying close to home and having a relaxing holiday was the best option for this year. Especially since this is probably our last low key holiday now that the baby will be here for next Christmas. Don't worry though, because even though the bump was not surrounded by tons of people, the baby still felt VERY loved. I guess this is the beginning of when the holidays are no longer about a bunch of adults getting together. The baby is the star now!
The baby sure did make out too in the gift department. The Cannon grandparents sent a pack and play, books, toys, onesies, and a blanket lovey. Papa B gave us and the baby some moohlah so that we can buy this little bundle a nice crib and Derek bought his baby a play mat (ironically the one that I had been looking at online and he didn't even know!), a baby monitor, some bibs, and a toy. This baby is so loved already. And our whole family is very blessed.
