Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

It has been a while since I last posted. It seems like time is just flying by. I was able to lead our Stake Choir again this Christmas for our annual Christmas Concert with the neighboring Catholic Church. It fell on the same weekend as the nativity and finally motivated me to get some Christmas spirit. Shortly after that I started shopping and decorating. I am not sure if Abby was too excited about decorating the tree but she helped us anyway.Poor Abby it really seemed to take me a long time this year. Prior to the weather turning ultra cold we did have a few great snow days and built some snowmen together.

We spent Christmas here in Winnipeg as I had to work Christmas Day and Boxing Day. It was really hard not to be with Abby and Ryan however we did open everything but Santa gifts the day before so I didn't really miss all that much. Ryan spoiled me and got me a nativity set which I have been wanting since we got married. So sweet. I love it.

We spent most of the holiday time with Ryan's family and on New Year's will hit my sisters place for some fun. It has been a wonderful holiday season and a great time to spend time with our family and friends.
Here's hoping everyone had a wonderful season and time to celebrate from our family to yours.
Our exciting news for the new year is we are bringing number two into the family which will be lot's of fun. Here's hoping to no more morning sickness or nausea!!!!!!

Best wishes to the Smith family on the new addition. The girls mentioned it in YW on Sunday; but until you announced it I didn't want to say anything.
