Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I cannot believe it is 2012!!! I am so excited for this year, a lot will be happening. Sam and I will both be graduating this year in April, and in May we will be having our little one join our family. I cannot wait for a little family of three. I must say our child is already spoiled, little baby Wang got a few outfits, a stuffed animal elephant, a frame, bath floaties and a elephant blanket. It was such a fun Christmas, and just thinking about having next Christmas with our little baby Wang is so exciting. I cannot wait!! It will definitely be a great year!!

Christmas was so much fun this year!! Although our family was not complete without Jace, it was so nice to spend Christmas with my family. Since my parents have a dog and I am allergic, we spent Christmas this year at Bricklin's apartment. It worked perfect, and Brick even got a real tree to setup for our Christmas there. It was so sweet of him, and the tree was really beautiful. We had so much Christmas Eve spending time together having soup, and playing games despite the fact that I was not feeling very well. Christmas morning was so much fun, and the highlight of the morning was reading a letter from Jace to Sam and I. We all started getting really excited to talk to him later that day, and just were glad to hear that he was doing so well. As far as gifts go, we got a lot, Sam got a classical guitar from his parents and I got my diaper bag I was wanting. My mom and dad for Christmas gave Sam a best buy gift card so he decided to use it to get Apple TV. He absolutely loves it, and I must say it is pretty neat. My parents gave me money to shop for maternity clothes, and it was definitely needed. I got some really cute things to last throughout my whole pregnancy, and some of the items I even think I could wear after. I got Sam an external hard drive this year. Sounds lame, but he has been wanting one for a really long time, but there was no real need. With a baby on the way, and the potential of a lot of pictures to store I thought it might be a nice gift for him, and I was right. Sam did a great job picking out things for me as usual, and everything I got I absolutely love!! We had a great Christmas!! After breakfast and presents we went to my Aunt Camie's for Christmas dinner and got to talk to Jace for a while. It was so nice to hear his voice, and laugh. He is doing so well out there in Michigan, and has even had a baptism already. He does not like his companion at all, but he is being a real trooper and just laughing it all off. We could not have asked for a better Christmas. Next year will be even better with our little baby Wang.

New Year's Eve was so fun!! We went to Oregano's in Gilbert with all my family. The meal was really good, but the best part was the scookie!! It was so good and even though it made me really sick later on, it was so worth it. :) It was so hard for me to stay up until midnight but I actually made it and it was so worth it to get another kiss from Sam. I hope that everyone had as great of a New Year's as we did, and that it will be a great year for everyone!! Here are a few pictures from over the holiday week.
