It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Andrew had Christmas Eve off from work so we made Christmas cookies together and watched a Christmas movie. He had to work Christmas night and since we're in the process of moving we decided to keep things simple. 

Andrew was anxious to open up his presents from Santa because he woke up at 5:30, but I didn't get out of bed until 10. Then we had breakfast, got ready for the day, and opened up our presents. 

 Our beautiful Christmas tree before we started unwrapping presents.

Andrew got a new pair of jeans from Santa Claus.

 Andrew bought me the BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER. If you haven't watched 'A Year Without a Santa Claus' I suggest you do!

Andrew got me this beautiful Willow Tree Figurine called Our Gift. It has the mommy and daddy holding their baby. :)

 Nanny made two beautiful sweaters for little Rebekah Kathleen, which will be adorable on her! :) 

 We also got some yummy British chocolates from Andrew's Mum and Dad. :) 

 

 

 

After we finished unwrapping our gifts we played one of our new board games Ticket to Ride which is A LOT of fun! Andrew beat me with a total of 109 points and I only had 89 points, but still it was very fun. :) Let's hope I don't make him sick of this game..I have a tendency to get a little obsessive about board games to the point that Andrew doesn't want to play them anymore. 

After the game we started working on our not so traditional Christmas dinner. We decided to do something cheaper since we went all out for Thanksgiving and since Andrew was working we didn't want to spend all day cooking, so we bought some nice steak and had mashed potatoes and corn with it.We finished off the night with a Christmas nap before Andrew had to go to work. It was a fantastic day! 

One Month!

A  few days ago my friend Cindy took a few pictures of us and Andrew wanted to get a picture comparing our bellies. I'm not sure I did such a great jump of showing my belly, but the picture turned out cute anyways. I really love my baby bum! I'm going to miss it after Rebekah is born, but I'm really excited to meet her and be a mommy. :) I love hearing people's reactions when they find out how far along I am because everyone just says how tiny I am. Which is kind of true, I don't feel like I've gained much weight during this pregnancy. But everything is healthy with mommy and Rebekah so all is good.

I can't believe we only have a month until we meet little Rebekah Kathleen! I'm really looking forward to meeting her and seeing what her personality will be like. :) 

Now that the semester  has ended Andrew and I have been able to spend more time together, even if most of it involves cleaning and packing. Anytime with Andrew is the best. I know that sounds cheesy and sappy, but being married to your best friend is pretty awesome. :) 

 Next Friday we're moving into our new apartment (it's the same complex, but on the first floor).

It's going to be SO nice living on the first floor! It'll be easier to unpack groceries and being on the first floor will make life so much easier once Rebekah is born. :) AND after we move it means we can FINALLY start decorating Rebekah's room. :) I'm really excited about that! 

 Yesterday at my doctors appointment I told my doctor I've been having minor contractions (at least I think so...) and he said that's great because Rebekah is healthy and strong, so she can come at any time. Andrew and I told her she's not allowed to come until after we move and have her crib set up. I don't think she's in a rush to come, which is okay, I just want her to be healthy and strong when she's born.
