We found out on January 6th that we are having another girl! Rob was right again! One day I’ll learn to just listen to him. Nah! I really had no idea what it was going to be but because I was sick with Corbin, not Jayci and I was sick again this time which made me think maybe it was a boy. I guess each pregnancy is just totally different. Jayci really wanted a little sister. She kept saying it was a girl and I would try to tell her it could very possibly be a boy-hoping she wouldn’t be disappointed if it was-and she would say…yeah but it’s a girl! I guess she has insight like her daddy! Or she just got lucky! She is so very excited and I don’t think Corbin really gets it yet! I am very excited too. May just can’t come soon enough!

Some of these 3D pictures are kinda freaky. I love my baby and I’m sure she will be a doll…but look at the smile on the first one. Kinda creepy, huh?!

We had a lot of Christmas parties this year. I guess it wasn’t anymore than usual but it seemed like a lot! We had a party every night the week of Christmas–Monday until Saturday. And two before that. It was fun but very busy! We love this time of year. Love seeing all of our family and getting together.

First we had the Bridges family party. We had a yummy dinner, played lots of games and spent some good time together! We were lazy and didn’t even get the camera out! So no pictures. I need to see if I can snatch some from somebody.

Next, I was invited to a neighborhood girls night out. It was a lot of fun! It’s always so nice to get out with just the girls for a night! It was an ugly sweater party…which by the way are really hard to find! We ate lots of yummy food all night, had a white elephant gift exchange, and we went to Wal-Mart and gathered some things for a family in need and dropped it off. It was a nice uplifting night and it was very nice to get to know more of the girls in the neighborhood!

Monday was the Grange family party. We had a yummy dinner (see a trend here? by Saturday I think I gained 20 lbs.) and had a little piñata fun. This got old when we were all in high school but now that we all have kids it is fun again! After that we had the annual dodge ball game. It gets a little competitive and rough sometimes. We have been known to have broken bones and people in the ER Christmas Eve. It is lots of fun though!

Tuesday was my Mom’s Christmas party. You can tell by Jayci’s face she LOVED everything she got. Grandma Margo tends to spoil the kids a little bit!

Wednesday was the Eggett family Party. It seems as if my kids have overcome their fear of Santa Clause. Jayci is a little iffy still but Corbin is ok with the big ole man. Having a Grandpa that is one of Santa’s helpers makes that much easier. After seeing him so much this year they finally got used to him! The only problem is now Corbin thinks all Santa’s are his Grandpa. I think that’s the only reason this one got a hug!

Thursday was my Dad’s Christmas party.

Opening Christmas Eve Jammies and Cookies for Santa.

Christmas Morning – We had a hard time keeping the kids out of their new kitchen to open up any other presents! At least they liked that one. I guess we could have just got that and they would have been happy.

Friday – Christmas Day – We spent at Rob’s parents.

Saturday was the Hales family party. We did a photo scavenger hunt. I haven’t done something like this since I was a teenager. It was lots of fun and pretty entertaining! We got to see everyone’s pictures when they got back and decide who won! My team won!
