Well, we are just about ready for Christmas and Justin is finally done with school for the semester. HOORAY! We've enjoyed getting Christmas cards from friends and family and only feel a tiny bit guilty that we haven't sent out anything (I think we'll kill two birds with one stone and do something when our baby boy makes his debut).
I went to the doctor again today. Nothing too exciting (but I will say I'm relieved because I'll be able to enjoy Christmas without the looming fear of going into labor on Christmas eve/ Christmas day). I know I need to post pictures at some point. I haven't forgotten. I just keep waiting to see if I get any cuter but it hasn't happened yet. I'll snap a few pictures and get them up though.
Yesterday was the ward Christmas program and I sang with the choir. It was fun to sing and I always love the music of Christmas and the special way it touches my heart. As Christmas gets closer, we're getting more and more tempted to just jump in the car and head to Utah for Christmas. We will really miss our families but are excited for the experience of having Christmas with just our little family. I'd love any suggestions from the rest of you if you've had Christmas "alone" of how you made it feel more like Christmas. I actually had 2 Christmases away from home on my mission (One in the MTC, a week after I left, and one in Germany). They were very special Christmases that I will remember forever, so I shouldn't be scared to try it again with the greatest companion ever and a two year old (that should be all of the entertainment and Christmas joy we need).
We love you all and wish you good luck making all of the rest of your Christmas preparations.

Yes, we need to see pictures! Have a wonderful Christmas!
This is my first Christmas since Germany to not be with my family so it should be interesting to start new traditions and learn about his family's traditions. Man I miss seeing your face. Have a very Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Maggie! Maybe include others in your Christmas, like families in similar situations, or older people who don't have much family around.
Hope you're having a Merry Christmas! I bet you are enjoying a pretty white one! We miss you all. Have a good day.
