Merry Christmas 2012

The older I get the quicker the holidays seem to come and go. I can't believe it's already time to take down Christmas! I started putting the nativity away the other day and Maggie yelled, "No! Daddy will be sad!!" But it sure was fun!

Our Christmas Holidays started out with Holiday Manicures. (I love my girl, can't you tell) She sits still even for them to dry and with every dot on her toe, she did a cute gasp. Aah! Sadly the fingernails didn't last long. She got picking of her finger nail polish from her mom....

Maggie enjoying some snow. She was hilarious in it! This first picture I told her to look at me so I can take a picture. She turned around with this face and pose and said, "Merry Christmas"

Making Gingerbread houses at Grandma's house. and Maggie with a mouth full of candy. You can't have bowls of candy and expect a 2 yr old not to eat all the good stuff.

Caden and Maggie did such a good job as shepherds in Grandma and Grandpa Meacham's Nativity. Maggie got distracted by the cute baby Betsy, I mean baby Jesus

All season long Maggie loved singing, "You better watch out! You better not cry! You better not pout I'm telling you why. Santa Claus is coming to town!" I guess that slipped her mind when she sat on Santa's lap. Poor girl! She was so nervous waiting in line at our ward party. She wouldn't take her eyes off him.

The Meacham family Christmas Card. We put the camera on a tripod, set the timer and didn't look at the pictures until after. Funny Ash making funny faces. HA!! So grandma and I had fun making it work for a funny Christmas card. Not to bad!
Mags got spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa with 4 princess dress ups!! She absolutely loves them!! Now if she would just understand.... We can't wear them to church!!

Christmas Eve and Christmas day we spent at our house with Papa Carl. We spent christmas day watching movies, eating appetizers, playing with toys and relaxing. It was fun!
Opening Christmas jammies after we set cookies and soda (per Maggie's request) out for Santa.

on the 20th of December we had our 20 week ultrasound. We thought it would be fun to wait 5 more days to find out the sex of the baby on Christmas. So we had the tech but the ultrasound sonogram in an envelope to take home. Well I knew I'd be tempted to peek so I dropped it off at my friends house where she said she had a fun idea for us to find out. She dropped that box off to us on Christmas eve. I told Caden it had to be the first present we opened in the morning. I kept having a feeling it was a boy. Maggie almost always said boy. Caden and Carl thought it would be a girl. Well we opened the wrapping to find another wrapped box inside wrapped in blue wrapping paper. Was it a boy???? We opened that box and there was another wrapped box with hot pink wrapping paper. Was it a girl??? We opened that box to find this inside

IT'S A BOY!!
We are so excited! and a little nervous.  A boy will be a fun adventure and we can't wait! 
Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!
