Christmas with the McLerrans

Christmas came early for Jake this year. Jeremy's family is going to Virginia to spend the holidays, so we celebrated with them last Sunday. Jake had a great time and with all the snow it felt a lot like Christmas.

Opening presents...





Telling the nativity story...



Having fun in pj's...



Here is a picture for all of you who have been asking to see my belly. I'm not very good at taking belly shots. I'll try to get a better one soon. Can I just say that I HATE maternity clothes!! I hate spending money on something that I'll only wear for a few months and they're usually not very cute or comfortable. I've pretty much been living in pajamas.



Every Christmas Jake gets a slight obsession with trains. He LOVES the Polar Express!



Playing in all the snow...









I have some majorly talented friends. We had a Christmas party and my friend Holly made these AMAZING reindeer and Santa hats out of cake. Oh, and they tasted delicious too!



So cute!



We were supposed to bring our 10 favorite things from the past year to give away (like Oprah does). Unfortunately, I misunderstood the game and brought my 10 favorite things not to give away. I felt bad. Next year I'll be sure to bring some really great stuff. I'm really grateful for my friends. I had a lot of fun spending some time with them this week!

I had so much fun seeing everyone. And the food was too delicious. I think we should do the favorite things for birthdays also.

Talk to you soon!

Those treats look so good. I love that Veggie Tray Tree...very clever!
I love Jake's red PJ's. He is just so darn cute. Speaking of cute...you have got to be the cutest prego lady EVER. Seriously. You just have a little basketball belly and that's it.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family.

I didn't know you brought some favorite things... you should have shown them to us even though they weren't for giving away! I had a lot of fun that night too... I'm glad we all still get together like that. Yes, you do look very cute pregnant... but I know from experience no pregnant lady feels cute. :)

Looks like you are enjoying the holidays. That little Jake is adorable.

Can I just say, you look GORGEOUS!!? How in the world can you look that good pregnant? Remember how BIG and HUGE I got when I was pregnant with Brynna? Remember the swollen feet? I am not seeing any of that on you-I'm not sure thats fair! :)

Have a very Merry Christmas!

Jake looks like he had a lot of fun, and you hardly have a pregnant belly, you should see me! Have a Merry Christmas from Kenny and I (and our kiddies too!)

Mike Luke said...

Wow. It's been a while since we've seen you guys apparently because Jake is HUGE! That kid is growing up way too fast!
