Catching up on Life

My last post was about Halloween...I believe that officially puts me WAY behind on blogging!! :) I'll try to make this as painless as possible and just hit the main points of interest with a few pictures here and there. Sound good? Super, let's get started!! 

Hopey started gymnastics in October, but I never got any pictures of her in class until Brian came to watch last month. She's already graduated from her beginner class and will be starting her "big girl" class the first week of January!  


And I got bigger...


We celebrated the Witzig family 5th annual holiday of Thanksgiving-Christmas Day 2010 with presents, food, and movies!


And then of course, the next day, we got to celebrate Hopey's third Thanksgiving with my family! It was a pretty small crowd this year, but that was okay with us because my dad had just had rotator cuff surgery and I was still very pukey! :) What can I say, we were a pretty wild bunch this year!!

As if we hadn't already had enough fun, the next day we got to go cut down our Christmas tree! But, before we made it to the Christmas tree farm, we stopped in to see Brian's grandpa before he went back home. The kids just love him!


 In our opinion, this year's tree is one of the best ones we've ever picked!! Good job Brian!!! :) (It looks even better decorated!)

 The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of Christmas parties, decorating the house, playing in the snow, Christmas baking, and wrapping presents!

 And in the midst of it all, my precious friends Meghan and Kara gave me the most wonderful and unexpected baby shower!! You girls mean the world to me, and I love you both to pieces!!


The next week, we took our annual trip to visit Santa, and this year, there were NO TEARS!! :) 

Wow, I've really talked your ear off, haven't I? Okay, I'll finish up with last weeks big event, our second annual Birthday Party for Jesus!


AND SUPER LASTLY, I got bigger...


WHEW!!!!!!!! I promise I won't go so long in between posts next time!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!! :)
