My lame excuse for a blog post

Posted by & filed under Christmas/Advent, Pregnancy.

… because I’m just too doggone exhausted tonight to write anything interesting.

Instead, I’m just sharing a few photos from our day:
We decked the halls this afternoon (a bit earlier than we usually do,
but the afternoon was clear and we just love decorating for Christmas!)

(notice anything extra little and cute about that above photo?)
The boys took a break from hall-decking for some cocoa.
Oliver got to use Ryan’s little espresso mug – it was just the right size!

And, a couple of shots of my growing midsection at 24 weeks pregnant.

Grow, Hazel, grow!!!

That’s all for tonight. *yawn* It’s bedtime for this sleepy Mama!

    >We're decorated, too!! It feels slightly weird to have the only tree up in the neighborhood, but I know I'll feel great once Thanksgiving is done.

    I, too, love the baby butt crack and the baby bump.

    >I got my tree up, but not decorated (a little early for us too. I'm usually an avid day-after-Thanksgiving-er. All of my Thanksgiving stuff is still out though, so it's kind of a mish mash of two holidays. lol

    Love your little belly, and the crack shot is great too! lol

    >I wish I could get my decorating done! I cannot bring myself to put up the tree until after I go shopping Friday morning after Thanksgiving!! Then I blast the Christmas music and dance around the house with the kids and bake cookies!! Ooooohhhh I'm getting excited already! And you are just too cute!! Lovin' the baby belly shots! And how adorable are your clothes?? I can safely say I never looked that good pregnant!!! Sweet picture of Mr. Droppy Drawers too! Hope you don't plan to use it against him later in life!;) I could care less if you put up a post full of pics or just stop by to say hello! Love hearing from you no matter what you have to say!

    >Cute photos!

    I personally can't get into the Christmas spirit before Thanksgiving but Thanksgiving is my husband's favorite holiday so we have to give it due time. Glad you guys enjoyed your decorating!
