Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you!  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday and it's hard to believe we are all preparing for the new year!  It is hard to keep up with blogging because the Christmas season keeps us going non-stop with traveling, holiday parties, shopping, and an endless to-do list.  We spend so much time preparing and always need to take that step back and enjoy the holiday season and the real reason for the season.  Christmas is such a special time of year and we prepare for it for so long and it seems to go by a little quicker each year.  Christmas is such a happy holiday and Craig and I have been able to enjoy this Christmas knowing our special baby boy will be arriving in just a few short months. Nsync's song says it best-

"Bells are ringing

It's time to scream and shout

And everybody's playing cause school's out

Celebrating this special time we share

Happiness cause love is in the air."

Being able to spend a little over a week at home also makes for a great holiday vacation!  Catching up on sleep, getting things done around the house, and just relaxing is such a nice treat at the end of a busy year.  Poor Craig has still be slaving away at work but we are excited for his four day weekend and getting ready for the new year!

Craig and I had a wonderful Christmas together.  We were able to spend Christmas with both of our families and we are so blessed to be able to share such a special time with our families.  We were spoiled as always with baby things for Liam (yes, Craig has already put them up so you would think he was coming tomorrow by the way our house looks), a new camera, clothes, and a bunch of other goodies.  Even Liam received a few items this Christmas!  We are so excited for next Christmas with our little bundle of joy!  

It's hard to believe it will soon be time to take down the beautiful Christmas decorations and settle back into our normal routine.  We have a lot to prepare for in the next few months so I am sure they will fly by!

2013 is quickly approaching and Craig and I have a big year ahead of us!  We can not wait for all of the exciting events coming our way in 2013!  

I hope you all were as blessed as we were and had a wonderful Christmas 

with your family and friends!
