Felix and I had a very different Christmas this year. It was different because it was the first year that we didn't travel to three different states to visit family. It was different because we didn't spend hours opening presents on Christmas morning. It was also different because just the two of us celebrated alone in our home for the first time ever since we have been married. Due to the pregnancy and various other reasons, we let our families off the hook this year and decided we would celebrate as a family of two for the very last time. This may not seem like a big deal to everyone, but this was our 7th Christmas together, so we wanted to make it special. We woke up late on Christmas morning and Felix made us a HUGE breakfast. We had pancakes, eggs, bacon, biscuits and all the fixings. We pretty much laid around ALL day and watched Christmas movies, and we even got up the energy to go for a little walk since it was 70 degrees outside that day. To end the day on a special note, Felix booked Christmas dinner for us at the Ritz Carlton in Buckhead. We went to the 5:00 seating (yes, I am hungry and pregnant) and we enjoyed many, many courses of wonderful food. It was a nice evening together that we will never forget. I must admit that we are now ready for our sweet baby girl to come into this world whenever she is ready! She is the main reason that we have to be so thankful this holiday season, and we are very anxious for her to get here. Please keep us in your prayers these next couple of weeks for a easy delivery and for a healthy baby girl!
