CHRISTMAS TIME!

Christmas was so different this year. It's hard being away from family. We really missed them all but we still had a great time. Christmas eve we open PJ's and then mine went straight to my hospital bag. I'm excited to have something comfy to wear after having the baby! On Christmas day we got up and had breakfast. I was going to make a big breakfast but really wasn't feeling well so we settled for something easy. We than talked to Brians family and opened presants that they had sent to us over skype with them and than we did the same thing with my parents. It was nice to be able to still share some of the day with our families, what a blessing it is to have a web cam! Baby K was so fun to watch opening her gifts, she would love them after she opened them. I think her favorite toy was the barrel of monkeys that Brian got from his little brother. Anyway here are some of the pictures of Christmas!

Christmas day we spend with our friends Antonio and Monica. We had a great dinner and tons of fun playing games. This is a picture of them playing the Xbox

Pregnant Pictures

Here are some pictures of my pregnant belly!



I can't see Katrae under my belly anymore!

Climbing

Baby K climbing in drawers. You can't see but there isn't a bottom drawer, I had taken it out so she wouldn't climb in the rest. Well she figured out how to climb in the middle one. I have since taken out the middle ones too.I had to take pics of her in it! She is so cute and does things like this all the time.

Snow..in Texas!

It snowed just a bit last night and I had to post this picture. It was a little exciting to see the snow!

Meeting with the Missionaries

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about our friends that went to church with us. Well they went again last week and agreed to meet with the sisters. They met with them yesterday at our house and we had a good discussion. They agreed to read the Book of Mormon and pray and also watch the movie Testiments. They are going to go to a baptism this next weekend and then talk to the sisters again. It's so fun to be helping with Missionary. We are really excited and hope they continue their intrest in the gospel.

Christmas Party and Brithday Party

Brian and I got invited to a Christmas Party in San Antonio this weekend and had a great time! It's about an hour and a half drive to San Antonio we drove down there with our friends Antonio and Monica. It didn't seem like a long drive at all. I was actually amazed! At the party there was some really good food, I really enjoyed the queso dip someone made. After everyone had gotten something to eat they did a white elephant gift exchange. I was fun. There were some really great gifts and some really lame ones. Brian and I both got gifts that we liked. The only down side to this party was that we only knew a few people, by the end of the night I had met a lot of new people but I can't remember their names at all. The only person I remember is this Guy Edmund. Brian and I sat and talked to him for a while. We learned that he was from Sweden and was living in San Antonio going to school on a schoolarship for running. He's a sprinter. We also learned that he was LDS. He was suprised that we were too. At the end of the night baby K had all of the attention. She was crazy hyper and so cute. I'm kicking myself for not taking pictures but what can I do now.
Saturday night we went to a Brithday party and Gabriel and Brittany's neighbors. They always have good parties. They always have good food, everyone brings food and it's always different then the last party. We have become friends with Tony and Theresa (the neighbors) They are such a fun couple and are very accepting of everyone! It's nice to be able to get out and have fun, it's great to have friends who want us around to party with! All in all it was a great weekend!

New yet old friends

I was so suprised tonight at my Enrichment Christmas dinner when I turned around in my chair and saw one of my old friends sitting at the table next to me. I said her name and then we had a great little reunion. Her name is Susie. I worked with her at TJ Maxx before either one of us got married. We used to hangout back when and always had fun. Anyway she and her husband moved here recently and we just ran into each other. It's amazing. It's so nice to have a friend in the ward that I don't have to completely get to know. She is so fun and super cute! I'm so glad to have another friend here in Austin. Lets just hope now that her husband and Brian will become great friends. That would be awesome! What a blessing it is to find good friends and run into them when you need them the most!
