Thanksgiving

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, Kyle and I did! I was able to switch days off with one of my co-workers, so I came up Wednesday afternoon to hang out with the fam. Kyle had to work unfortunately, so he wasn't able to come up until late Wednesday night (actually Thursday morning). It was so nice to see both sides of the family! Everyone is so busy with life these days, so it's really neat to be able to catch up and get to spend time with eachother.

Sisters!

What is Grandpa looking at? lol :)

All of the grandkids! There were so many cameras going it was hard to get a picture that we're all looking at!

Some things never change... the kids table!

We had a blast and were sad to leave, but Kyle and I both had to work the next day... Kyle had to be at Sports Authority at 4:30 am for Black Friday! I felt so bad for him, he worked 11 hours yesterday with only a half hour break, needless to say he passed out on the couch as soon as he came home! The store that he works at is right next to a Best Buy, Target, Old Navy, all sorts of stuff... he said the frenzy was pretty crazy!

I'm already halfway through 25 weeks, here is what's going on in utero:

The baby now measures about 13.5 inches from head to heels and weighs about a pound and a half; think an average rutabaga (where do they come up with this stuff?!) She's beginning to exhange her long, lean look for some baby fat. Her wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out, and she's starting to look more and more like a newborn. She's also growing more hair, and if we could see it we would be able to see it's color and texture. It's so fun to imagine what (and who) she's going to look like!

Kyle started to feel the baby kick yesterday! He was so excited, she REALLY kicked him right where his hand was. I was really happy that he was the first one to feel her, that was really special. We can't wait to meet her in just a couple months!

Something else really exciting happened this week... my mom got a new car (it's little and red, SO cute!) and my parents offered to give me and Kyle their Saturn! We couldn't believe it, it was so generous and couldn't be better timing with the baby coming. It's bigger, nicer, safer, all those good things... my mom called it the "mom mobile" and that's definitely what it's going to be! :) Thank you so much you guys!

We both have a three day weekend, which is really nice... we're doing a lot of relaxing! We're also going to go out and buy lots of Christmas decorations, we don't have any, but we really wanted to do it up right for our first Christmas in our new home! I'll be sure to post lots of pictures once we're done! :)
