February already?

Where did January go? Not that I mind. It just makes us one month closer to spring and one month closer to meeting our little Pumpkin.

Last Friday I made pink cupcakes to share at work as a way to spread our news. It must have gone over well because I had to steal one of my own cupcakes in order to take any home!

Sunday we met up with my parents at my Gram's to celebrate Christmas with Dad's side of the family. We had a good meal and a nice visit.

We had a pretty laid back week. I tried a few new recipes; chicken rice wraps and sloppy joes. I know sloppy joes aren't exactly a new concept but I don't think I've ever actually made them on my own. They turned out pretty well!

Yesterday I made cookies for the Superbowl party we are attending today. I opted for Valentine's cookies as opposed to football cookies. Much cuter. I'm going to make up some sausage balls once I get done writing this entry. Last night we went to Texas Roadhouse with our neighbors. Afterward the boys played Guitar Hero while the ladies caught up on chit chat and then we all watched "The Rocker". A very nice evening.

We taught Sunday school this morning then went to church. I got Alexandra plopped in my arms for a few minutes. I can't wait to hold my own in a few months! After church we went with Chris, Michelle and Alexandra to a baby consignment shop that was having awesome sales. We ended up with 9 outfits for just $22. It was so much fun! I think my favorite is the bright orange t-shirt and skirt that say "I love summer".

Housewarming

What a weekend! Amy's friend Nicole stayed all weekend. We saw "The Dark Knight" Saturday morning. We were very disappointed to learn that our favorite theatre had closed. We were just there to see "Get Smart" last week and had no idea it would be our last time there. Back to Batman - it was fantastic. Go see it.

Nicole and Amy spent the majority of the day baking. On the menu: pumpkin-spice frosted snack cake, molten chocolate surprise, peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies, chocolate truffle pie, chocolate chunk banana bread and potato donuts. Yum-O! After all that baking, we decided going for icecream would be a fantastic idea.

Sunday we taught Sunday school and then finished setting up for the party. We had 42 people all together. Fun times! Everyone seemed to have a good time and we had fun showing the place off. We were just so blessed to have so many friends and family around at one time. That hasn't happened since the wedding.

Enjoy the pictures.
