Getting Ready For Christmas...in April

It's been a busy week full of early bedtimes and excessive eating. And not just because of family Easter celebrations all weekend long. It's just that all this baking has been wearing me out!




I mean seriously, it's a lot of work to make four whole cupcakes. You know, while my husband is out of town and I must engage our 18-month-old in the baking so she doesn't feel left out.



Then there was so much laundry to attend to so Miss B would have something clean and festive to wear to a family function or two this weekend.



Oh the life of a wife and mother! MY FAVORITE THING IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!

Happy Easter everyone. Let us celebrate the resurrection of our Savior and ALL new life on this wonderful day!

P.S. We're due December 19th, just in time for Christmas...or so.

P.P.S. I've never been more hungry in all my life. I do not remember this with my first pregnancy.

Oh my goodness! Was this common knowledge already or is this how you popped the news to him!? The cupcakes are SOO cute! What a GREAT idea--I'll have to think of something cute to do like that for the next one--maybe I will do cupcakes...hurray for you! I am SO excited for you! Praise God--babies are such a blessing from the Lord. I love the title too--cute idea! And the best part (ok--the next best part because the baby is the best part) is that if you squeeze that baby out before the 31st it will count as having a 2nd baby for the entire year of 2009 for taxes and you'll get a fat refund for all the taxes you overpaid the past 12 months! We had our baby on Dec. 2nd and were pleasantly surprised by the tax refund! SO happy for you two!

Thank you!

The cupcakes were how I told my husband. When I found out, he was out of town for a day and a half for work. I couldn't stand the idea of blurting it out on the phone, so I started plotting. ;-) He was very pleasantly surprised at this little dessert! We told most of his family members (mine live in another state) by having Bella wear the big sister shirt to a family gathering and waiting for them to notice. It was a HOOT! Oh the looks on people's faces as it clicked in their minds. And all the while Clay and I were trying desperately not to get caught snickering in the background, waiting for someone to notice! It was even more fun than we imagined to tell the family this way.
