Holiday cheer

We had a wonderful holiday weekend. It started with us going out Friday night to pick out our Christmas tree. We went all the way to the lot nearby and picked out a sweet smelling noble fir. We both were freezing a the lot which makes for a quick decision and once we thawed out at home and drank up some hot cider we were much more full of Christmas cheer. We enjoyed putting up our tree while listening to holiday music and then relaxed in our nice warm apartment admiring our fine work.

Saturday we went with David's family for the annual "Seattle trip" which includes dinner at McDonalds, a ride on the Monorail, window shopping at Westlake center, a carousel ride and gingerbread houses at the Sheraton. It was another cold night but was fun to walk around and see all the holiday decorations downtown.

We are at 30 weeks this week which means that this baby will be coming in just a few short weeks. I have 2 more weeks of school...well technically only 9 more days, until winter break. I can't wait. The hard part though is that I then can see the end. When we get back in January I only have 5 1/2 weeks before I'm off to get ready for the baby. I have been feeling great yet am seeing that this baby still has a lot of growing to go, which means my stomach does as well. I can feel a lot of movement which is really exciting.
