Home for the holidays

We arrived in Idaho late on the 26th for a delayed celebration of Christmas. This gift I'm holding is from Grandma Becker- and it's for baby P. I haven't opened it yet, but I have a good idea what it might be :) It's always so nice to be home in the comfort of Idaho for the holidays!

You know you are in Idaho when...

Gregg all set to go snow machining

How can you not love love love these critters :)

Ugly sweater party with Tim and Kandi

Tis the season for the ugly sweaters! We were lucky enough to be a part of the third annual ugly sweater party! I'm pretty sure Tim wins this contest!!

Babymoon- Cabo Mexico!

 We just got back from an incredible and relaxing trip to Cabo for a mini babymoon! We took advantage of an awesome 'getaway deal' online and were able to spend 4 nights at a very beautiful resort in Cabo with our good friends Mike and Katie.

 This was a fabulous farm to table dinner where everything was grown within about a 10 mile radius. The tables were set up right in the garden.

 Headed out for another hard day at the pool. Bring on the margs!! (Well, for those who aren't prego!)

I managed to knock out a few baby books however we are still struggling to agree on a name we both love!

We were so lucky to get to go on a holiday like this one before our lives change forever. Thank you Mike and Katie for being such awesome company on the trip!!

Santacon

This is Santacon. Find your funniest Christmas get-up and hit the streets of Del Mar for a pub crawl. Let me just tell you that this is really fun for the pregnant one for the first hour... and it's all downhill from there. Gregg was a fabulous reindeer and was really psyched to get to wear tights for his costume!! :)

 Sar and David

 Lauren, Denise, Sar and me

The whole crew. Yep, we made a pretty profound impact on the little town of Del Mar!

Things that remind me of Ben today

1. Over tipping
2. Teasing me about lame ex-boyfriend's ... "I'm ready to wash my hands "
3. Drinking wine on New Year's Eve
4. Making sure we all knew his Christmas presents would be a large and heavy.
5. Listening to Reba on repeat
6. Texas Roadhouse

Nesting

 This week we managed to paint the nursery! We chose a light green and plan to do a safari theme (considering mommy and daddy met on safari!)
