Christmas in UT

Well, Christmas has come and gone once again! Daniel and I had an absolutely wonderful Christmas this year! Dan was so excited about Christmas this year because, and I quote, "this is the most presents I have had since I was a little kid"! We both got some really nice things. I am thinking that Dan's favorite present was probably the remote controlled helicopter that he got from Mom and Autumn. He said when he opened it, "this is going to drive you insane". He is right... I can already tell that I am going to lose my mind (and trust me, that is easy for me to do these days... pscyho pregnant chick pops out at times) when he is flying that little helicopter around our tiny apartment. Although, I have a feeling that I am not going to be the only one going insane because of the helicopter flying... Jack will too! However, I sense that Jack will have more fun than I will :D Thanks Mom and Autumn ;) We got some games from Mimi and Daddypa, which is really nice, because we have been wanting to add games to our collection so that we have things to play together and with the kids (someday). I got Pirates of the Caribbean 3 from my sister in-law . I also got a bunch of movies from Dan, he got me Pirates 3 also (obviously we will be returning that), A Bug's Life, Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Ratatouille, and Monster's Inc. We now officially own all of Pixar's animated movies :D I got some more maternity clothes from Dan, Carol, Mom, and Autumn! Which means that now I have more than 2 shirts that fit! Dan got me the book that I wanted called Belly Laughs. The book is by Jenny McCarthy and her sense of humor is right up my alley... I do not like reading pregnancy books like "What to Expect While Expecting", I enjoy things that are a bit more light hearted and real. The last pregnancy book that I read was The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy. It was an informative, yet funny, down to earth book. Dan also got me Baby Laughs, also by Jenny McCarthy. Baby Laughs is about the first year of motherhood! We got a really nice picture frame from Carol that has 11 pictures in it (I think... something like that)! I got a monogrammed necklace that I LOVE from Mom and Autumn! Dan got a NC State hat and I got a UNC hat from Mom and Autumn too :D Dan wore his State hat to Carol's for Christmas dinner, the family busted out in "Duke is puke, Wake is fake, but the team I hate is NC State"... Dan was like, "what?"... it was obvious that he is not from NC, but I still love him :D Dan got some really nice things too... if I do say so myself :D He got some new clothes, cologne (Very Sexy from Victoria's Secret), a 2 GB flash drive, and of course, a big chocolate penguin! I will post pictures from Christmas soon! It snowed over 6 inches on Christmas Eve... Shari and I built our very first snowman (us NC girls do not get many chances to do that you know)! We also got to make Gingerbread houses and the traditional Glass Candy at Carol's on Christmas eve. Dan was not there for most of that though, cause he had to work and it started to pour down snow on his way back from Ogden to Murray. After Carol's on Christmas eve, we drove to Ogden to go to Dan's brother Chris' house for Dan's family gift exchange. We all around had a great time this Christmas! I am 19 weeks as of today, but here are some pictures of me at 18 weeks. I will be having an ultrasound next week... I am measuring big and they are going to be enlarging the pictures for due date calculations or something like that! Anywho... we will let you know how all of that goes!
