Lots to Share!

So here we are... week 36... There has been a lot going on these past couple of weeks so I better get started on the updates!



The force of a smile... at least I tried!

BABY BOG... and I had a doctor's visit this morning. His/Her heartbeat was 148, my blood pressure was 110/68 and of course a couple of pounds gained! The doctor was very pleased with the checkup and stated that he would be happy with an arrival at any time :-) We were very excited to hear that as well!!

FAMILY TRADITIONS...
It has become tradition for our family/sisters to gather for an Annual Bake Cookies Day in December to give out to family, friends, co-workers, etc. YUMMM... this has become my favorite day of the year!! This year we did our baking the first weekend of December knowing the rest of the month would be busy... and unexpected things could happen :-)

Here are some photos of the day...







The first weekend of December, Frank and I also went and picked out our tree! We intended to go to the mountains of N.C., however, with the long day of Baking Cookies, we decided to just go to a local store to find a fresh cut tree (or the closest to it!). Of course you have to let it sit for a few days befor you can decorate... so we did. Here is our tree :-)



It would probably be a prettier photo if the lights were on... but I definitely was not thinking of that when I took the picture.

Because there is not enough excitement heading our way... Frank and I have been looking and talking about new living room furniture for months. When Thanksgiving came around and the Black Friday shopping spree... there was a specific tv Frank wanted to purchase. However, after discussing the "what if" purchase we finally decided to take the plunge and get new living room furniture vs the pointless purchase of a tv. We are definitely happy about our selection... it adds light and additional space to the room!





HAPPY BIRTHDAY... my sister, Hilary, will be turning 30 on December 22! YEAH!! Since that falls around the Christmas holiday, she wanted to celebrate a couple of weeks early to have as many friends and family around her to celebrate. We all met up at Azteca (her favorite mexican restaurant) and then afterwards some went to a friends house to continue the celebration. Of course I wish I could have... but I would have been no fun sitting on a couch falling asleep! HERE'S THE BIRTHDAY GIRL!!







THIS WEEKEND... will be full of fun festivities as well! I will be making gingerbread sandwich cookies and decorating them with my nephew, Zane, as well as getting together with friends for our Annual Christmas Party! I am definitely looking forward to spending time with family and friends for the next few weeks, as it could all come to halt when Baby BOG arrives... he/she will be getting ALL of my attention for a little bit :-)

I will be in touch next week...
