December in the Hansberger Household!

Wow, where did the month go? I am trying my best to catch up on blogging, but I have missed so much that I will just do a brief over view with some pictures. This month has been filled with fun Christmas and Birthday activities. We have done our best to do as many fun Christmas things as we can as a family since Gage is finally at an age where he is getting excited about Christmas. We have decorated the house with all things Christmas, we have gone as a family to see many different Christmas light displays, Gage and I have gone to several Christmas playdates where decorating Christmas cookies was a fun filled activity, as well as had a day dedicated to all things Christmas (wearing our pjs all day, baking Baby Jesus' birthday cake, Christmas art activities etc). It has been so fun to get in the spirit through the eyes of a two year old. He is so excited and every time he see's Santa he says HO,HO,HO! (Although we have yet to attempt the Santa pics cause he has a melt down, when we get close.) I just can't wait for Christmas morning. It's going to be so fun!

We also celebrated Gage's 2nd Birthday with his friends a little early. Since his birthday is on December 29th, it is so hard to plan a party right around the holidays. We decided this year we would do it on the 10th, to avoid friends being out of town/busy during the holiday break. We had a John Deere tractor party on a Friday for 12 of his closes friends. Gage was so excited. He loved blowing out his candles and singing to himself when we sang to him. We colored some John Deere coloring pages and had a very casual "playdate" type party. It was great, and Gage felt very special I think.

On another note, I am 32 weeks along in my pregnancy with Stella, which is so hard to believe. This pregnancy has gone by so quickly. I am feeling pretty good, but starting to get to the "uncomfortable stage." Sleep is not as easy, and chasing after a 2 year old, makes for a very long day. I am just ready to meet my little girl!!

We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and have lots of time to spend with friends and family this holiday season.
