Christmas/New Year's

Christmas in Jersey was very quiet. We stayed home for a homemade prime rib dinner and to exchange gifts. Since we bought the video camera over Thanksgiving we kept Christmas to minimum. I got Keith a camouflage diaper bag - he insists he needs his own and he got me a mother/child pendant (sea turtles - very cool and unusual, like me!). After dinner we were invited upstairs for dessert with our landlords and their family. Well, we went up a bit too early and had to eat another dinner - why do people think a pregnant lady needs to keep eating when she says she is full? Then we did have dessert and presents. They got us a few things for the baby. Duke and Kris are expecting too and due a month after us. Their sister in law is pregnant too and due a couple days after Kris. We took a pictures of all the bellies and I won! We have a print out of the picture so I am going to try and take a picture of it and post it cuz it is really cute.

The weekend after Christmas we flew Nicolas (my brother's oldest) out for the weekend. It was fun to have a 14 year old with us for a few days. We did a bunch of tourist stuff with him and Keith took him to the Poconos for some snow boarding. Originally they were going to brave Time Square but after the crowds on Saturday they decided against it. So, it was pizza, Scrabble and watching the fireworks from the living room window instead. All in all it was a great time!
