Christmas Season and Second Trimester

We are definitely in the Christmas season now complete with cookie making, tons of parties, christmas cards and lots of trips to the post office and stores. Chase enjoys doing his advent calendar everyday and eating the candy that goes along with it. We love reminding Chase that the real reason we celebrate Christmas is that Jesus was born to live the perfect life to die for our sins so that we can have eternal life.




 A few weeks back we got together with some friends to have a more Christ-centered Christmas party. No visits from Santa here :) We had pizza then decorated cookies (we were going to give away but it didn't work out) had great crafts then a dance party to Christmas Carols. It was so much fun for the kids. I would love to do something like that every year. Anyone in NC game?
  The daddies relaxing while the mommies were slaving over cookies and crafts.

In other news, I am officially in the second trimester! The first trimester was pretty rough. It is very different being pregnant with a 2 year old around. It is harder to workout and I have to cook a lot more often. Also I found out a lot earlier this time so it just really seemed to drag. But I am feeling better now although energy is still lacking. The weekends have been busy with parties and stuff and I feel like it takes me all week to recover! While we miss our family terribly we are excited to have daddy home for a bit and to relax around home.

So thankful that you can share with Chase the real reason for the season! Looks like you're having lots of fun with all the goodies, and glad too, that you're feeling better! You HAVE to feel better to enjoy all of those goodies! :0)
