Catching up with Christmas

I can't believe it is already Christmas, time seems to have flown by. In November we didn't do anything terribly exciting EXCEPT going to Lund and Ely for Thanksgiving. We had a really good time, and even though the car ride wasn't fun (Richie got sick on the way up and I had morning sickness on the way home), while we were there it was really enjoyable. It seems like so long in between seeing family, eventhough it was less than six months since we saw everyone at the family reunions this summer. At Thanksgiving my mom and sister, Melanie, threw me and my sister, Chelsea, a joint baby shower. It was a lot of fun and I got some really cute hairbows for the baby and beautiful girl clothes. I tell you baby boys get the short end of the stick in the clothes department.

In December I finished up my first full semester of grad courses. I brought in a total of 3 A's, 1 B, and 1 Pass. I still have a 4.0 because my B was in an undergrad course that did NOT count towards my grad GPA, I thought that was crazy but yeah for me!!!

The baby is doing fine, no chance of having a pre-term labor or anything (it seems like many of the ladies in my ward are on bedrest or dealing with pre-term babies). I'm just hoping this one decides to come and I don't have to be induced, but we'll see I might beg my doctor to induce if she's not here by the 9th of February. I think Bobby and I have FINALLY decided on a name. I'm almost positive this baby is going to be Kamry Renae Bennett. Bobby says he needs to let the name grow on him a little more, but has pretty much told me he'll come around. We may end up nicknaming her Kami, but we'll see when she gets here. I get to have another ultra/sound on the 29th to see how big she is. At 20 weeks she was a little underweight, so we'll see.

On Saturday we had our ward party. It turned out really nice, the couple was just called 2 weeks before and were told we needed a Christmas Party. I have been wanting to make Gingerbread Cookies for years, but never had a recipe or decided to do it. I really didn't want to have a gazillion Gingerbread Cookies lying around the house for me to eat all day long either. I made 60 cookies and took 50 to the ward party. The children were not limited on how many sweets they could have and all of the desserts were wiped out. I only let Richie get 1 item, while others were walking away with heaping platefuls of sweets. I was just glad not to have to take anything home with me.

Gingerbread Cookies YUMMY!
