Guess what

Ok. I have been holding out on most of you. Please don't feel like we are any less of friends.
Here is my secret:
I am going to have a little boy! I am due April 10th.
I really didn't want to feel pregnant for the full 9 months so I haven't posted or really made this public. I am now just over the half way mark and I have a very noticeable belly bump. I finally had to tell people at work 2 weeks ago cause I could tell some had suspicions.
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Happy Holidays.

My Birthday

It was my birthday yesterday and here is the story of my day:

I woke up early and headed off to work. Curtis had taken the day off so he was kind enough to drop me off. My desk had been decorated and gifts had been left. I only worked until 12:30 then Curtis and Max picked me up to go to the Yo Gabba Gabba live show. This is really more for Max than me.
Max loved the show! They shot off Confetti, dropped balloons from the sky and had a bubble blower.
After our fun little show, we went to Costco where Curtis bought me new Christmas wrapping paper and gift tags.
We ended up eating at the Olive garden the rushed to SLCC for Curt's class. Max and I walked the halls and tried to work off all of our treats we had eaten.
It was a wonderful birthday. Thanks for all of your kind birthday wishes!

Christmas traditions

I am very excited to share another Christmas with Max. Every year he understands a little bit more about this magical time. I have been trying to create a list of fun traditions to either start or pass on to Max. What are some of your favorite Christmas traditions?
