getting to know you christmas style




i've gotten this a couple times already so i'm just gonna post my answers here.

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Wrapping Paper is more fun to open

3. When do you put up the tree? we'll do it after we move & before we say bye to the boys for christmas

11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? i got these things you put on your car so you know when you're too close to the curb and don't scrape your hubcaps. (i had a real problem with that as a teen.) i thought it was a lame present until i got a new car!!!!

the fact that everyone is taking Christ out of Christmas and it's now just "the Holidays"
23. Favorite ornament theme or color?
last year and the first year i ever decorated a tree as a married couple (eddie and i were ALWAYS out of town) we did red, dark green and light green ornaments. we don't have the money change it up every year but maybe every 5 years. we also only have a mini tree.
24. Favorite food for Christmas dinner?
the last couple of years we've had alaskan king crab legs courtesy of uncle tomas!!
25. What do you want for Christmas this year?
we're taking the boys to disneyland as an early christmas gift since it's not our year (we also went last year.) maybe this can be our tradition?

couldn't help but leave a comment...I was on LeDawns blog and she wrote about her friend Sara who is having twins. Having twins myself, of course I wanted to check. We have the same Dr. and everything. I'm so happy your so low risk and everything is going well. Seriously know what you mean about someone knowing someone else who has a horror story...I heard the worst story I've ever heard about twins yesterday and had to call Judd. He couldn't get back to me because of the awful news about Dr. Gordon (fam friend, I truly feel its a blessing for him but so sad for everyone else)
So I laughed when you worte that. WHats the due date...actual due date? Isn't it the biggest bonus having that many ultrasounds?!! I'm at 16 already. (of course I'm a high risker) I have a non stress test in 20 min. I just wanted to say congrats! We were told for two months we were having a boy and a girl...crazy how the boy never really was a boy; I guess :) I love the name Scarlet EVE personally. Not that my opinion matters in the least though!
You're soooo beautiful!!!!

*TRULY*

Funny, we were looking at each other's blogs at the SAME TIME! That's so awesome. I know a lot of people who have been dilated to a 1 from like 20 weeks and just stay that way, so I'm sure you will be fine. I wondered if you made it out here or not. Please call me if you do end up coming out this way. We still haven't been to Disney for the Christmas holiday season and are dying to go.
