A quick blog to dedicate to Christmas. We had our first Christmas a week before Christmas, when we were blessed by the visit of Morgan and Shelbie and Jasper and Silas. For those of you who don't know, Morgan is Darby's brother. It was super cold when they visited, so we didn't do as much as we had hoped. But we still had a wonderful time, it was just like "old times," it felt like we were just hanging out like always, except this time in Texas. 
Super Silas!

Christmas #2 was nice and quiet and calm. It was our only Christmas by ourselves, but was very nice, especially thinking that we will never have a Christmas by ourselves again (at least in a long time!) since our baby will be here next year. 
My parents sent us lots of baby clothes for Christmas, and I got some maternity clothing too! They also sent us money toward a rocking chair, which is something I really want. Darby's parents also gave me money which I will probably put towards that! How special! 
Darby got me a book and supplies to help me start crocheting. I'm trying to find a hobby that I will stick with, and I always like doing detail-oriented stuff with my hands, so we will see. I learned the basic stitches pretty easily and I'm already working on a scarf!
I got Darby a dock for his i-pod so he can listen to his music at home, and a baby name book. Yes, we are still working on the name! Darby's parents got Darby a bunch of dress shirts and ties, which is what he really wanted. My family also got him money toward shirts and ties.
Praise God for all of the blessings this year. It was a very special Christmas, thinking about God coming in the form of a baby, as we await our first baby. We hope you all had a blessed Christmas, too!
