Time Flies

And just like that its December. I'm not going to bother going through the giant time gap I've left between blogs except for a couple highlights. Lucy turned 5, Jordan and I turned 31, Thanksgiving was great, and I'm 18 weeks pregnant! We are super excited for baby number 3 to join our fam. We get to find out what we're having on Christmas Eve, but we are going to switch things up a little bit. Instead of finding out in the ultrasound room we are going to have a friend take the envelope with the gender inside and wrap an outfit and ultrasound pictures for us to open as a family. I've been thinking girl, but lately am feeling clueless. Lu is definitely hoping for a girl, but Jordan thinks its a boy so who the heck knows.

Other than that, life has pretty much been business as usual. Lucy just got her part for her preschool Christmas play. She's Mary and her line is "Don't worry Joseph, God will take care of us." Last year one of the kids puked. He had just finished his lines and was passing the microphone and then just threw up. He was helped off stage but the show went on and the puke was covered with a poinsettia. (They cleaned it later.) I'm hoping there isn't a repeat this year.

We headed back to Sunny Day Tree Farm for our Christmas tree this year and picked a good one. Its a bit of a drive but a great spot. Once you're done getting your tree there's free cocoa or cider and a cozy fire to warm up by.

Our Elf on the Shelf has also started making appearances. He shows up holding a little paper scroll with some sort of Christmas activity or treat that we do each day. Yesterday's scroll sent us to see some reindeer. I think it would've been a lot of fun had we not been in crisis mode over a lost Princess Aurora sticker. I'm relieved to report, the sticker was found.

I really do love this time of year though. Cocoa, Christmas lights, parties, there are just so many fun things to do! Excited for the rest of this Christmas season.
