Christmas

Christmas in CT was wonderful! While it didn't snow while we were there, we still had a white Christmas from the previous storms. We had a family baby shower on Sunday before Christmas which was very nice. We had not seen a lot of the family since last July so obviously the belly was much bigger and the baby was kicking away like the little soccer player they will be! Lor, Mom and I had our annual pieroge making party on Christmas eve and we enjoyed them with Patty's family, Uncle Ray and James. Dad even bought Polish beer! Santa was good to everyone on Christmas morning and then it was off to Aunt Maryann's for Christmas dinner. It was a busy day as Rob and I then had to fly out that night. The visit was short but sweet.
Now we are coming down the home stretch...only 9 more weeks to go!

Baby Room & First Shower

Sorry it's been so long since the last post. Things have been busy with the holidays coming up! I am happy to report that at least half of our Christmas shopping is done now. Considering just 2 short days ago we had NONE! So the weekend after Thanksgiving my mom and dad drove down from CT to help us get the baby's room all painted and set up. As you can see they did an awesome job. It took a lot of tape and hard work but turned out beautiful. We got the crib all set up and the furniture all in the room. We had a bit of time for play. Ma and I took dad to the lake for lunch, we found a new restaurant, now all we have to do is be able to find it again via the water! So now that the room has been painted and furniture set up all we needed was baby gear. This past weekend Rob and I went to Cleveland for our first shower. Rob's family gave me a wonderful shower. Rob's cousin Alyson, her friend and Auntie Judy took care of the decorating and food. The theme was rubber ducks and was too cute. Rob's other cousin Nicole made the cake from scratch and as you can see she should be a professional! We got a lot of cute things including a good start on the baby's library as all of the guests brought at least one book. We went to Cleveland with 3 suitcases and came home with 5! And now our nice clean baby room looks like it was hit by a hurricane :) I am slowing trying to organize...
Ok well thats all for now. This Friday we are off to CT for Christmas! Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!
