Decorating for Christmas

We were so excited to get our tree up and some of our decorations out this year. Hayden loved getting up on the big ladder and helping Daddy and Papa.

We were so grateful to have Nona and Papa's help this year. My big belly and I just weren't the ones for the job! It also went so much faster to have their help.

We hung on to our old tree and last year started the tradition to let Hayden decorate it with our childhood ornaments as well as the ones he is starting to accumulate. He had a blast, so of course were excited to see what he would think this year. He loved it even more this year. He wanted to put each ornament all on the same branch! It was pretty funny. It will be so fun to have both kids here for next Christmas.

He was so careful with each ornament. It was adorable.

The finished product! He was so proud of his accomplishment. Every night he gets to turn on his tree and it is so fun to watch his excitement. Christmas is so much more fun and even more meaningful seeing it through his eyes.

BIG belly!

Here is my belly at 33 weeks. She is a growing girl and we couldn't be happier to have her on the way. It will be even better once we get to see her sweet little face.

Me and my special guy. I hope Linley is even half as sweet as he is. He is so compassionate and loving, it blows us away.

Beautiful Baby Shower

My mom and sister threw me the most lovely shower. It was so adorable, they didn't miss one detail. I felt incredibly special and blessed.

The favors were so appropriate, bags of coffee! They say "A baby is brewing". We also had bags of coffee as our wedding favors, those read, "A perfect blend". It was a very cute memory.

My mom and sister decorated the shower with the frames that I made for her room. It was special to be able to share some of her ultrasound pictures and my belly pictures with everyone.

I loved the diaper cake my sister made. It was so cute and BIG! It took a while to take a part, but we are so thankful for all of the diapers that it included.

As you can tell, her name is Linley. Linley Grace Kent. We had a very hard time deciding, but we love her name and can't wait to see her little face. Hopefully, she looks like a Linley!

How cute are these adorable cupcakes? They tasted just as good as they looked!

Mommy, Grammy and Aunt Ashley. My mom and sister threw an amazingly beautiful and special shower. Baby girl and I are two lucky ladies.

Mommy and Nona. We are so happy to be around our families during this pregnancy and are looking forward to getting to spend so much time with them after she arrives. We are so happy that our kids have four amazing grandparents that want to be a part of their lives.

I was astounded at the amout of gifts we received. Her little closet is bursting at the seams and we have so much to be thankful for.

So many friends and family came to the shower to help us celebrate our little girl. We are so loved and feel so blessed to have all of these people in our lives.

We love this little "I love daddy"outfit that Nona got for her. It is so tiny, I can't wait to see her in it. I wonder if she will be smaller than Hayden was.

I have loved collecting all of these girly things. Her room is just about done and I can't wait for our little girl to be here. We feel incredibly blessed to have a boy and a girl. Hayden has been the best little boy a parent could ask for and we can't wait to see what blessings our baby girl will bring to our lives.

Setting up for baby girl

Hayden has been very helpful with all things baby lately. He is so interested and seems to have a great grasp of what is to come in the next few weeks. He helped Daddy put the crib together and is so sweet about helping with whatever we ask of him. He is going to be a great big brother!
