Merry Christmas!

It was a white Christmas in Meridian this year- beautiful, snowy weather.... We spent the day hanging out with family and 'feasting' on Ryan's smoked turkey and ham. Mom, Duane, Seth & Josie came over mid-morning to open presents. Later, Rachel and her girls, Lexie & Maddie, stopped in and we sat down to a large Christmas lunch feast; Ryan cooked up a delicious storm(as usual)!

As, tradition, we watched 'A Christmas Story',

an all-time classic favorite and sat around rubbing our full bellies and napping. Aahh...love the holidays!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!

16 Week Babies Belly

This is for all you have been requesting to see my fat belly...okay, you asked for it! We are 16 weeks now and the babies are good. Picky little eaters but as long as they grow big and healthy!
Our next ultrasound is Decmeber 23rd and then again in Janaury. Hopefully the peanut-heads will be big enough that we can see what they are!!

Skinny Santa

Ryan was asked to play "Santa" at our Ward Christmas Party Friday night...it was a surprise! He wasn't fore-warned but is a good sport so played along. When the stage curtain rose there stood an awfully skinny Santa 'hoo-hoo-hoo-ing' to the crowd of children anxiously awaiting below.

He has some hilarious requests/stories from the kids (some older kids even guessed it was 'Brother Stephenson') but it was a fun experience!
