Best Christmas yet!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I know we did. Price has more presents then we know what to do with. Next year we are going to have to talk about setting a limit....

We started Christmas Friday night and had a family get together every single night thru Christmas. Price is now a master present opener. He loved opening presents... he had to make sure every single peice of paper was off the present. When he woke up Christmas Morning my mom, step-dad, dad and step-mom were all there so instead of getting excited about his presents, I think he was more excited about everyone there. I didn't get any pictures of him on Christmas Morning because Santa gave me a digital Camcorder so I videoed everything but here are a few pictures of our other gatherings.

Christmas is always a time to realize how truley blessed we are. We had a wonderful time celebrating Jesus' Birthday and even though the presents were very nice, It's important to remember the real reason for the season!!

Update & Price's Christmas Program

Thanks to everyone for their support and most of all your prayers this past weekend. Things are going very well. I have had no new bleeding and so now I just have to be patient and wait to see how things go at my next ultrasound, which is the 27th. Thanks to all who prayed, emailed, called, visited and brought us dinner and magazines! :) You guys are so wonderful!!

And Price's Christmas program at Preschool was tonight. I had an idea that they would be singing jingle bells because everytime I sang the "Laughing all the way" part, he would say "Ho ho ho". Well, I was totally correct!! They actually were the opening number for the 4 year old class and they sang Jingle Bells and rang the bells. He didn't sing, except the "ho ho ho" part but he danced at the very end. I wished I had videoed that but I wasn't prepared!! I couldn't believe he stayed on the stage the entire time but I was very proud! I sat in the wrong spot to get a good picture but my mom took pictures too so hopefully she got some better ones! I am sharing the pics I did get even though they aren't very clear!!
WOW, his first Christmas Program...........the milestones just keep on comin'.........

Prayers, Please!!

To all the prayer warriors out there: Please keep me and this baby in your prayers for the next couple of days!!
Yesterday I was at the mall about to take Price to get pictures made with Santa, and I started bleeding badly!! My doctor was in surgery so I had to see an ER doctor. Then this morning I went back and saw Dr. Smithson. They did an ultrasound and the baby still has a strong heartbeat but it looks like part of my placenta is torn. I am on bedrest thru the weekend and they put me on a strong antibiotic so that I don't get an infection. I trust in the Lord and know that he has us in his hands! Please just pray that it is his will that this baby be okay and pray for my strength in dealing with this situation and not being able to do for Price like I am used to. I truly believe in the power of prayer!! Thank you all in advance!!

Tis the Season...

We are all ready for Christmas, if you don't account for the many presents still needing to be purchased. Price seems to enjoy our trees being lit up. If the lights aren't on he will point and grunt until I plug them in. We put 2 up this year. Our regular one and then I did a blue one for Price. He has also done pretty good with not bothering the ornaments. Here are a few pictures I took of him in one of his many Christmas outfits....I went a little overboard this year, but I guess that is easy to do. There are so few cute outfits for boys that anytime I saw a cute outfit I just couldn't pass it up. I bought this one for his Christmas Program at Preschool. Yes, I did just say Christmas Program. You might ask what an almost 17 month old might do in a Christmas Program....well, that is a good question. His teachers said he will be singing......I interested to see how this works out.

Busy, Busy....

This weekend some of my friends from Florence came into town for the Lights Before Christmas at the zoo and invited us to join them. This was the first time Price had met their little ones so we were excited to get everyone together.

I also went to the Holiday Market Thursday and Saturday and got some Christmas shopping finished. Then on Sunday, Stephanie, Suzanne & I threw Paige a Christmas shower at my house. We had a great turn out and it was so nice seeing so many old friends.

Josh's extended family's Chrsitmas Party was also Sunday. Of course I didn't make it to the party but Josh took Price and said he was scared to death of Santa. I guess that makes taking his pictures at the mall all that much more fun to look forward too.

Well, the weekend flew by and I am glad to be relaxing today with nothing much to do this week. Next weekend starts the Christmas Pagent at our Church. Josh will be working that all weekend and hopefully on Sunday I will get to enjoy the show. I can't wait until Price is old enough to be in it!! :)
