Breakfast with Santa & A Baby Shower

Contrary to popular belief, I do in fact style Eliza's hair EVERYDAY!Her hair simply has a personality of it's own.

This morning, we were greeted by this picturesque scene. After bundling up, we went to our ward house to have breakfast with Santa Claus. Being the social magnet that she is, Eliza wasn't phased for a moment when we sat her on Santa's lap.
Eliza enjoyed coloring with her friend, Evan.Andrew and Mike Jensen couldn't resist four wheeling on the snowbanks for a few minutes. I had to laugh when our Bishop suddenly joined in for a round in his truck!

This afternoon, I headed out (well... to the relief of those who know me, Andrew drove me) to Sandy for a baby shower for Laura King. Eliza spent the afternoon with Andrew while I relished in conversation with friends. As we talked, I only managed one HUGE over share. I really need to attend these functions with a roll of duct tape for my mouth.



All of those cute baby clothes made me think about my sweet boy. He and I went to a doctor's appointment yesterday. I gained FIVE pounds in four weeks (I had been averaging one or two pounds up until now. Can we say, "Thanksgiving" happened?). To be fair, my tummy has "popped" so I can attribute two pounds there and the other three to my face.

Here we are at 23 weeks!

You do look so great pregnant! BTW, I am totally jealous that Eliza did so well... (Megan and Emily totally lost it, for those not there.) We should have gotten pictures of the boys playing on the snowbanks. You guys are just too much fun!

i agree- this face business must stop- you are a true beauty! :) i am excited for you to have a boy and hope he is as ravenously hungry as amby (and yes you most certainly are friend enough to call him that!).

You look so cute Ali! That makes me want to be pregnant again. Now I'm remembering everything else, I think I'll wait a little longer.
