Christmas Eve 2013 & an Announcement....

This Christmas was the first one in at least 5 years spent with my cousins! They are so much fun! These pictures show lots and lots of people, but we're still missing (if you can believe it) so many people!
The children dressed up to act out the Nativity, and after we all sung Christmas carols, which was so fun!!

































These guys love each other....too much at times.

Manly men!


This photo I stole from Rachel's blog! ;)

We love the Shumways!


Can't wait for Christmas morning!




Christmas Eve I had a present for Aunt Kimi and Rachel to open up....
 Yup! I'm pregnant! On Christmas Eve I was 7 weeks along!
If you can't tell, I put a positive pregnancy test in a little baggy, then taped the baggy, along with a little card saying "7 weeks today..." to the bottom of a gift box, put tissue paper in it, the lid, then wrapped it up!
They were all so excited! Aunt Kimi even cried, it was so sweet!
I had announced it to my family earlier that day, via Skype. I showed them the positive pregnancy test but they didn't believe me at first. Apparently I tried to trick them once by doing that, but I don't remember that at all. Haha! (Though that does sound like me).

Can't wait to meet our little baby August 2014!

Ice Skating at the Gallivan Center

Ice skating is always so much fun, it's even more fun with lots of family! 
I had to be careful though, being pregnant and all; didn't want to take any spills!

Ugly Sweater Christmas Party 2013

Christmas parties are already fun, but they're even more fun when everybody dresses up in ugly sweaters and pajamas and to top it off, ridiculous white elephant gifts! This year our gift was a female travel urinal I got on clearance at Walgreens January of 2012! The minute I saw it on the shelf I knew I wanted it for this! 
There were a few other games and lots of food. The whole Whittaker family came, which was awesome cause if there's one family that brings life to a party it's them! 

A lot of these pictures I got from Rachel's blog.
