We found out about two weeks ago that we are having a girl. Yeah! She is growing and everything is well. I am not sick any more-yes! I'm not too uncomfortable yet at nights-yes! And the back pain hasn't started yet-yes! I just have the hardest time convincing Jason that my want for Subway subs and take out pizza are indeed cravings. It doesn't work too often though.
I love to figure out baby names. Needless to say when I first went down some random list and came across the name Sophie, I remembered that I had thought of it before and considered that name searching was finished. He even told me it was OK. Well, that OK translated to "Yes we can name our baby that." When I started telling people that we liked Sophie he wasn't too thrilled. So Sophie is out. Bummer! I thought Miley would be cute because Jason's middle name is Miles and he always wanted to use it - I was the reluctant one. Only, everyone would think we named our kid for Miley Cyrus. No Way! We like Leah and Lanie, but we're still undecided.

Christmas excitement
We have been so excited for Christmas around here. Can you believe that tomorrow is Christmas Eve already?
Jason has to work 7pm-3am both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. So the window that we'll be able to spend with family during the day is quite short since he gets off work and then needs to sleep in - a little! :) He took three days off and added that to his normal two for five days off that end today. It was so nice. We went a couple of times to Tri-Cities to be with Jason's parents and stay the night. It was nice to lounge and visit. We also made a trip to Mattawa to see my family. So even though the actual holiDAYS will be a little rushed for us, we still got to spend some good time on these days off. We took the kids to see the Princess and the Frog and then to lunch at McDonald's. Fun, Fun!
Emma and I had a good discussion about the creation that led into why we need a Savior and that led to Christmas. It all began with one of her questions that let you know they really are thinking. It was so fun. She said, "I want to do this for Family Home Evening." Unfortunately, we don't have many of those discussions for FHE because we try to keep it short so that the kids that are already jumping off the couch and running around the kitchen can be released. It was fun just talking with her.
I'm off to make some sugar cookies to leave out for Santa.

Thanks TyLeen
My friend Tyleen Dixon just sent me the cutest nativity. I played the game on her blog where she said the first five people to comment would get something made by her and this is what she made. Isn't it just adorable?!
Don't worry those of you who played the game with me, I haven't forgotten. :)
