Christmas with the dahles

We had Christmas with the Dahles on Sunday night (12.14.08) since only one of Ryan's siblings will be in WA for the holidays. We got together for a Christmas ham and presents! We all had a good time and got lots of nice things! This year, for his nieces and nephews, Ryan asked me to make pillows after he saw an "Ugly Doll" that my niece has. He thought it was pretty funny, so that's what we did. Ryan drew them out, I sewed them together. I think the kids liked them - at least they didn't scare them!

Tomorrow we're heading off to Calgary for Christmas with my family. We're so lucky to get two Christmases!!

lydig Christmas party

This past weekend Ryan and I went to Spokane for the Lydig Christmas party. Ryan's been working for Lydig for a year now, not including the 5 month internship he did with them last summer. We stayed at the Davenport Hotel - not bad! Lydig put everyone up and had a nice party with a good supper one night. Ryan and I just hung out, ate, saw a movie, walked around in the freezing cold, and ate some more.

third trimester

Well, I've made it to week 28! I'm REALLY starting to get big now, but I know I still have a long way to go. I'm feeling good. No complaints, except maybe that I just cannot get comfortable when I'm trying to sleep. It's just uncomfortable to have such a big belly! Oh, how I miss sleeping on my stomach. Still lots to get done around here before Baby arrives! Hopefully Ryan and I will get everything done in time.

stockings

This will be our fifth Christmas since Ryan and I have been married, and we finally have stockings! Ryan wanted me to make our stockings and I thought it was a good idea until I actually started. It has taken me over a year to do. I wish I hadn't made them because now I'll have to make one for the baby next year, too. Would be so much easier to just buy them!
