Before we leave...

What we did during December before we left for California:
Enjoyed the cold weather. This girl can be outside all day long despite the weather. 
(I kept squatting down to get a picture of her but as I did she would squat down too. Ha!)
Daddy finished school! 
We got a package from Gram and Papa. Leila took all the snickers for herself. 
Attended the ward Christmas party. Leila likes to hang out with the big kids.
Hosted a gingerbread house making party with some of Jeremy's classmates. 
And more gingerbread house making with the Calhoun girls. 
Another bought of sickness. 
This poor babe was so tuckered out from the fever. It has been forever since she has fallen asleep with me. She sure loves her binky and lady bug.
Pulled out more baby stuff and Leila found her favorite hang out spot.  
She even brings her buddies in with her. 
Nice and cozy. Also you can see her dolly has a diaper on. One of her knew favorite things to do. 
Leila and Jake: such sweet friends from the beginning. 
Leila has been so sweet about my ever growing belly.  
Now being able to talk about "baby brother" makes the baby seem like a real person. 
She's going to be a great big sister! 
Before we left we dropped Alfred off at the Dahles house so they could take care of him while we are away. 
I try to always take a picture with this sweet guy before we leave him. 
Seriously he is a pretty special fish. 
The Calhouns took us to the airport and brought our Christmas presents. We wanted to open them with them and so glad we did. They gave Leila a diaper bag stocked with bottles and homemade diapers, wipes, and a changing pad. It was the perfect gift for this little mama. 
I also made Tisha take a belly picture with me before we left. It's been so fun to be pregnant at the same time as my sister and these sweet boys of ours will be the best of friends being just 4 months apart. Sad I will be missing the birth of this new Calhoun boy and will be so anxious to hold him when we get back!

Now...on to California for Christmas!
