I finally am posting about our wonderful Christmas. We had a great holiday here in Dublin. I got maybe the best Christmas present I've ever received from Rob...he totally surprised me and flew my sister in the day before Christmas Eve. She stayed with us for a whole week...it was great! I was completely surprised. Having her here was seriously awesome. We baked for like 4 days strait! Really though, we did a lot of baking and cooking in general. I feel like it was the first Christmas where I actually had to be the responsible one (not mine or Rob's parents). Like if there was no more wrapping paper I had to take care of it where as usually my mom has rolls and rolls waiting to be used! And we had Christmas dinner for 9! My sister and Rob helped a ton...we had 4 of the missionaries from Church, Aaron, one of Rob's co-workers and the 4 of us. Easton loved Christmas and opened presents all day long. He would open a few and then be done for an hour and then want to open a few more. I have hidden probably half of all of his gifts to be strategically re-gifted to him later in the year...he was spoiled rotten...I guess it's the perfect time for him to be getting a baby brother! Here are some pics of our Christmas day:

I am as big as a house (and this was 2 weeks ago!)
While Amy was here we also got to do a little bit of Dublin sight seeing. We went to Howth and she and I did a lot of shopping. Downtown was all a glow with lights so it was fun even if it was pretty darn cold! I will post some more pics later...technical difficulties!
Now that the holidays are over we've realized how not so on the ball we've been about getting things ready for baby! We still don't have a changing table or rocker (although both have been ordered). I guess since this is our second I wasn't in the frame of mind to be buying all of that business but since our previous nursery stuff is either in an L.A. storage unit or in an L.A. landfill we kind of need some items. Hopefully we'll be set by the time the baby is here. My due date is 2 weeks from today...I went 3 days over with Easton and I have been feeling like I'll go a bit early with this one but who knows. We'll be sure to post some pics when the little guy arrives!

That is so exciting that your sister got to come out! That would be a great christmas present! How fun! I can't wait to see the little guy and I'm excited to hear about the labor experience in a different country. I wonder if it will be any different?!? I guess the pushing would still be the same...good luck with that! :-)
Way to go with the Christmas present, Rob. It looks like you had a great Christmas. Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy and delivery. I can't wait to see pictures of your baby.
