Christmas Surprise!!!!

James's Mom

Julie's Mom & Dad

The big news....if you didn't get it from the videos, we are pregnant!!!! We've known since October and it's been crazy hard to keep the secret but now it's out. We gave James's mom a clock with pictures of all of her grandkids and families. We gave my mom a locket and my dad a locket keychain. Each gift had a picture of the 10 week sonogram. My mom's locket had pictures of Alyssa, the sonogram, and one frame with "Due in June" written on it. So, anyway, we were really excited to tell our families after waiting soooooo long.

Christmas Eve 2009

I had just finished wrapping presents when I said to Alyssa, "We should put on your Christmas dress and take pictures."  I was really only half serious since there was wrapping paper and supplies all over the living room, but I turned around and Alyssa was taking off her shirt and within seconds had taken off everything she had been wearing.  Soooo, she got to run around in the buff for a while while I cleaned up and arranged things. 

Christmas 2009 with Gram and Gramps

Christmas in Edmond with Gram and Gramps was very serious business but she is still talking about it.  Alyssa played shy at first but was eventually in the middle of all the action with all of her cousins. 

Toddler Bed

We moved Alyssa to a toddler bed a few weeks ago.  While Daddy was working on her crib she kept telling me he "broke it."  However, she was quite happy when she discovered the end result!
