Holiday Hoopla

We're about ready to head home from our holiday vacation. We had a great time visiting both our families and many of our friends. Ryan and I got some great Christmas gifts, most especially a new vacuum and pots and pans for the house. With the baby getting all new things, I've been motivated to get the house cleaned up and new things for us to use too. Somehow I ruined my first set of pots and with all the dog hair we needed a more sophisticated sweeper. All of our friends that were available met us for dinner and games, and Ryan had a night out with the guys while I went to my first baby shower. Baby girl got some beautiful clothes (some handmade ones), some fuzzy blankets, and great toys. Our 6 suitcases are overflowing and we are so blessed to have recieved such wonderful holiday and baby gifts. I can't wait to get home and unpack and organize! New Year's will be spent at our friend Lisa's wedding, so that will be a blast. We get home Sunday afternoon and head straight to the wedding basically. We can't pick Drake up until Tuesday so I'll be a little sad. Hopefully I'll post some pictures after people send them to me - my camera batteries died! Happy New Year! The next time I see my STL people I'll be a mom!
