Christmas is coming!

This year we got to go pick our own Christmas tree at Dado's house!  Decorating was quite an adventure, as all the pine needles are pretty much like actual needles, and stab you if you touch them!  Hence, all the decorations are hung right at the tips of the branches and fall off whenever my stomach bumps into them. 

I know everyone who lives in other places always asks me how big I am, so here's a picture I took today, at 6 months pregnant (28 weeks).  I would guess I'm pretty close to the size I got at the end of my pregnancies with Alicey and Olivia.

On Friday evening our ward had its annual Christmas dinner.  I love this picture!  Everyone is so happy!

After dinner, the girls got to go see Santa Claus!  Olivia received a little set of plastic squeaky fish, and Alicey a Tinker Bell stamp set.

And here's Alicey last Thursday at her preschool's Christmas program.  She was soooo excited about it!  Too bad Cesar had his last final at the same time and couldn't come.  She sang with her classmates Jingle Bells, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. 

And here's Alicey with her beloved teacher, Miss Lindsay.  Alicey LOVES Miss Lindsay!  She holds the preschool at her home down the street from our house.
