Christmas day i woke up to a pug puppy right outside our bedroom door. I was so excited to play with him as he grunted with delight. But, don't worry Joel hasn't gotten soft yet. We were staying at Joel's Dad's house and the puppy was being puppy sat there. It was still fun to play with. We left Joel's Dad's and headed to his Mom's to start the festivities. On our way down a huge hill we got stuck in a snow drift. Joel ran back up the hill in his basketball shorts to his Dad's to get a shovel while i stayed in the car. This really, really nice guy stopped to tow us out of the snow. It took this nice guy his son and 2 daughters about an hour to pull us out of the drift. Luckily i had some banana bread in the car to thank them with. In the process of getting the car out out of the snow the heater/defroster broke. So we drove around all weekend in a freezing car wiping the windshield with a t-shirt so we could see. We hung out at Joel's Mom's for a while where the power was out. We Elder Jaron Meyer, Joel's youngest brother, who is cleaning up Alabama one sinner at a time. Then we went to my families house. I got the cutest dress for my niece to wear this year and my little girl to wear next year. She is the only one i took pictures of on Christmas...oops. I was a little tired.
She is a little over a year old can you believe all that hair. She was so fun to watch. This dress is straight off of White Christmas. Can't wait to see my baby-G in it next year. It really was a great Christmas...except for the snow!
On Saturday my sisters and mom hosted a family baby shower for us. It was a lot of fun. We played some fun games and had a really tasty lunch. We did the thing where everyone cuts a string to guess how big my belly was. My Mom and Joel's Grandma's strings were the exact same length and only long by an inch and a half. My mother in laws string was about 3 feet too long. I guess we know who loves me. I forgot to take pictures of the party. Here are some of the earlier guests.
Me, my older sis Anjanette, my Mom and my little sis Megan.
My unofficial family. Brittan Black and Laurie Ransom.
Me with Janet and Jamie, Joel's mom and little sister.
It was such a fun long weekend and i was so glad to get home on Sunday. Joel has been doing internet research to fix the heater/defroster in the car so keep your fingers crossed.
