Baby Bump - 25 weeks

Now that I'm finally done adding all of the Christmas stuff, I can add the latest belly shots. I was officially 25 weeks last Friday but we were a little busy so it got put off a few days. I usually set up a tripod in the nursery and do it myself but Jared found me this time and had to be in a couple pics. He's always lifting my shirt and telling me "Whoa! It's getting bigger!" Not sure how much longer my striped shirt is going to make it... it's not maternity and it's getting snug!

25 weeks... 15 to go!

Big smooch for the baby!

Deb & Jim's Christmas

Sunday was our final get-together for the season... Hallelujah! It was a long and busy 5 days. It was good to get back into some sort of a routine. Here are some more pictures to share...

Not so sure about this!

At least Ashlyn looks cute in this one...

Cele's Christmas

On Saturday we went to the Lind House for Keith's Grandma Cele Beranek's Christmas. Here are some of the group shots... not all turned out but that would be a lot to ask!

Christmas Day

We had a pretty laid-back Christmas Day. Went to church in the morning and then to the Farm to visit a while and pick up all of our goodies from the night before. We got home about noon and opened our gifts from Santa and each other.

Had to try out Grandpa Roger's new tools 

and put together the kids' new tricycle.

Santa dropped off a few presents for us!

Just a few new toys to play with... good grief!

Kral Christmas Eve

Our second stop for the evening was at Steve & Linda Kral's. The "crew" is getting pretty large so they cleaned up and decorated Steve's shop so we had plenty of room. They really went all out and it was a great time. As you'll see from the pictures, the little boys really like the straw bale display. Linda had a new idea of having an ugly tie and ugly purse contest. Matt Eilertson won for the guys and Mindy Ruch had the ugliest purse. I was taking pictures with my mom's camera so I don't have any of those to share but it was a lot of fun!
