it's christmastime! it's christmastime!

even though we put up our christmas lights and decorations weeks ago, christmas has snuck up on me. it's less than a week away! i just realized that we're already more than halfway through the month and nearly to the new year. last night michael and i finished our christmas shopping, and i'm making christmas cookies on saturday to hand out to friends, so i think we're all set.
about three weeks ago, we took our lanterns and hummingbird feeder down from the porch so that we could put up our christmas lights. each day, i see at least one hummingbird fly by looking for their feeder. i don't think i've made them a fan of christmas this year... i even saw one poking hopefully at one of the red lights, looking for something sweet to eat.

my only request for christmas dinner? HAM! my cravings are just starting to kick in, so i'll probably have a scoop of mashed potatoes and like, eight or nine slices of ham. we're staying at michael's parent's house for christmas, and so i'm also excited about finally using the fireplace this year. i think i'm going to request to sleep in the livingroom, next to the fire. :)

i wish you all a wonderful advent-time!

Oh no! Poor hummingbirds! The birds around our house are snubbing us — we put up a feeder and a suet cake thing so that they wouldn't starve over the winter, but so far no one has come. Humphf.

So glad it's Christmas, and that you're pregnant, and that you have a blog! Yay!
