Thanksgiving!

We celebrated two Thanksgiving's this year! We spent Thursday at my dad's with our Denton cousins and my wonderful grandparent's who flew in from Utah. We had a great day with great food (thanks Christa!) and even spent some time in the hot tub!

On Friday we celebrated again with my mom and Michael at our house. They brought over their 9 foot tree since they don't quite have room for it this year and we decorated up the house and had a fun time cooking and listening to Christmas music. Let the holiday's begin!

The cousins and their great grandma and grandpa Rotz

The Cousins!

Olives!

Anna, Kirsten and Megan

This year's Christmas tree, although I feel like we cheated since it is my mom's. Oh well!! Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa Perry!

Saturday morning pancakes!

Here are some cute pictures of the kids and Greg making their traditional Saturday morning pancakes! I've also included some other "eating themed pics." I'm also going to attempt to attach a video of Mason.

Mmmm... frosting (a different day)

Mmmm. Cheerios.

Announcing the baby tie breaker...

It's A BOY!

We had our ultrasound today and it looks like everything is on track for a healthy baby boy!

Needless to say, Megan was quite disappointed when we brought her blue balloons instead of pink to let her know which way the ultrasound went. Her first words? "OH MAN!" Of course, she is now over it and seems perfectly excited. She has announced that she will be naming him Jackson which will not actually be happening although it is a super-cute name and all.

Mason, of course, has no clue what is going on but dutifully gives my belly a little kiss whenever sister does and points to my tummy when I ask "where is the baby?"

Another funny story. Megan asked me the other day, "mom, can the baby hear us?" I told her that yes indeed the baby can certainly hear us. I was waiting for some cute little "I love you baby Jackson" or other such cuteness. Instead, without skipping a beat she ran to the kitchen, grabbed the "That was easy" button from Staples, set it on my stomach and pressed it as close as she could. "THAT WAS EASY!" ........This was the message she HAD to share and pretty much the baby hasn't been spoken to since.

We are due April 23rd, 2009.
