We hear it's time to update our blog...



First of all... Thanksgiving was so fun! We had a blast seeing Mom, Dad and Ells! And it was so GREAT to be able to see all the other family that we hardly get to see. Cory was grateful to finally put names with faces. And yes, we were lame and didn't really get any pics. Sorry!

So thank you Mom and Dad for letting us come stay with you! We hope it won't be too long before we can come out again! :)

Cory and I decided it was time to finally be festive and get a Christmas tree tonight. I'm so excited! The smell of pine is slowly permeating throughout our dining room. I love this season! We had a pretty difficult time finding a tree without dishing out all of our savings! (We didn't realize how expensive they are.) But alas, Home Depot came through for us and we found a tree we liked and the price was fabulous! (We realize we also need more lights, but that will have to wait until next year... slowly but surely our decorations will come together.) So enjoy some pictures of us decorating our first REAL Christmas tree together. I got in trouble for not helping put up the lights and I won't go into detail as to why I kept my distance... *cough*Mom*cough*... but I apologized and stepped in at the end. :) Munch also found a spot that she liked after we put our blanket down. (Again the tree skirt will have to wait for another year to make an appearance.) :) I'm pretty proud of our tree and loved listening to The Forgotten Carols while we brought more of the Christmas Spirit into our home!



Our tree before we got our hands on it!

And after! Yay!



Munch's new favorite spot. So cute!



And here is a new picture of the baby and me! I'm about 19 weeks along now and DEFINITELY growing out of clothes! :) I can feel the baby move around a lot more now. I usually wake up to some little movements and go to bed feeling our sweet baby moving. I have also been able to feel a couple of light kicks on my hand, but unfortunately Dad has yet to experience that.



Munch seems to be pretty camera shy, so I thought I'd help her with one of her best features... her ears!

There you go, we updated. Are you satisfied, Mom? :) haha, we love you!
