First of all.."Sweet Baby Ray" is growing so much!!! He/She is really putting on the pounds ;) Bridgit (my sister in law) goes back for her 5 month check up next month and we are looking forward to finding out what she is having. We all think it is a girl, but secretly my dad, Nathaniel and I are really hoping it a boy! We need a boy in this family, too many women :) We can not wait to meet this little one, Bridgit is due exactly a month after Nathaniel and I get married, itis one big event after another with this family. So much love to go around, we are so looking forward to it all!!


On another note, we had our First Annual Gingerbread House Competition at my parents house on Sunday. It was so much fun, We bought the pre made kits, where you just put the houses together. Each "couple" decorated a house with the supplies provided. We had a blast! Nathaniel and I started ours at around 12:30 and finished up about 4. I know, I know..way to much time to spend on a gingerbread house, but what can we say, we wanted to make it the best. Believe me, it was ;) It was great to just sit around and not do anything but work together. It definitley tested my paitence. I put tiny dotted sprinkles, Nathaniel's idea around all the windows. I had to do this because of my "tiny" fingers. lol. I felt a sense of accomplishment when I was done. :)
Here are pictures below of our masterpiece of a gingerbread house!

It is always so much fun to get together with the people that you love most and spend time together, even if it is competing! haha..

Merry Christmas to everyone..Hope you all made it to Santa's Nice List!
