lists

normally, i'm the type of person that has lists going of things to do...lists at home...lists at school. but now that it's Christmas and the baby is due so soon, my lists are more numerous and more extensive... pack the hospital bag, finish getting the baby's room ready, wash all the new baby stuff, get the Christmas decorations up, finishing getting things ready at school to leave for the sub...and the lists go on. my amazing husband has been incredible in helping me to cross things off those lists, and in getting things accomplished, i find myself very thankful and getting more and more "ready" for the baby to arrive (quotes are necessary because how "ready" can you ever be?!)

i wanted to share the latest things we've gotten done around the house. just the other night we finished the tree and the lights on the front of the house, as well as the lit garland on the steps and on the mantle. i love Christmas. i love the coziness of the season, i love being on the couch, looking at the lights and watching the room take on the warm glow from the tree and decorations. not to mention that jay found an amazing (and very large) tree this year...I LOVE IT! so here's our first year of decorating in our new house (as well as an updated belly shot). i hope you enjoy.
