We took a photo at Mt. Charleston when there was snow in November. The inside revealed a short newsletter and message and announced our news of expecting our little guy in April.We flew to Michigan to see family from December 18th through the 23rd. Now that the holidays are behind us and we are back into the work routine once again, I'll be posting more and catching up on everything that has happened since the last post.
We were scheduled to leave here around 10pm and didn't leave until 12:30 a.m. due to weather delays. Don even had a snow day - no school - on the 17th! That hasn't happened here in Las Vegas in a long, long time. I think they said it had been 30 years! Our part of the valley did not see much snow, but other parts did. I was able to get some pictures of the snow, though, since I was out and about when it first started to fall.
(Not a sight you see every day - snow on palm trees!) Jason's Deli - Summerlin - Snow with palm trees. I'll try to figure out how to get this video to appear vertically.
At least it appeared.
We arrived in Detroit and hit bad weather conditions that made our normally 3 to 4 hour trip a 7 hour trip!
We were still able to get together with my friend Erica and her family at our favorite pizza place, Spanky's...with the BEST breadsticks ever! Erica and I compared "baby bumps" and got our pictures taken together. (Sidenote: We JUST found out that our friend, Danielle, is expecting her second child in June of this year. So exciting! Can't wait to get all three babies together next year - how fun! An April baby, May baby, and a June baby!)
On Saturday, we celebrated with my immediate family in the morning and had Ross Family Christmas in the afternoon. They surprised us with a baby shower after we had celebrated Christmas. Out of hiding came two large boxes and out of the boxes came gifts and all the baby shower essentials...games and decorations planned by cousins Angie and Stephie. There was a yummy cake as well! (Thanks for all the great Christmas and baby gifts! Our little guy is going to be so well dressed! Lots of cute outfits!! Lots and lots of cute baby items, including Winnie-the-Pooh items, keepsakes, toys and books. So fun!)
On Sunday, we went to church and then ended up relaxing because the weather was not cooperative enough to meet Don's dad at the Mackinaw Bridge.
