Christmas 2009

This year we were really late getting our Christmas tree. Usually we go to a Christmas Tree farm and cut it down the day after Thanksgiving but this year we waited around till the last minute and bought it from a Christmas Tree lot. This was the first time in years that we bought one from the store and I couldn't believe that they spray painted the trees green!

We picked out a little one and it actually ended up being just the right size for us. Christmas Eve we spent over at my moms with family and had a very nice time. Christmas Day we spent at our house with my mom and Dick, along with Ryan and Melissa. It was such a nice holiday.

Nursery is Coming Along!

The nursery is really starting to come along! Pat put together all of the furniture and it looks great! We love going in the room now because it feels so warm and cozy. Im in love with her bedding and we have started to slowly decorate the walls.

Pink, Pink, & More Pink!

Yesterday Pat had the day off from work so we decided to go out and do our baby registry. Of course Pat got to use the scanner and we spent quite some time looking at all the baby things. What an industry! The advertisement for just about all of the items makes you feel like you just can't live without it but in reality it will probably sit in the corner and never be used. With that being said we were suckered in and have a ton of stuff on the registry!

I do have to say little girls are fun to shop for since there's so much to choose from. But boy oh boy it equals out to alot of pink! All in all we finished our registry's yesterday. We ended up registering at Babies R Us & Buy Buy Baby. Once we got home I ordered the bedding for the crib and window treatments. We fell in love with this set and I can't wait to see it all put together. Here's a sneak peak at what the bedding looks like.



Pat is almost done painting the nursery and then we can start putting away all the little goodies we have gotten. I love redecorating and getting ready for Grace. I do have to say there sure is alot of pink!

It's a Girl!!

Today was our 2 year wedding anniversary and we received the best gift today! We found out that we are going to have a little girl. We are going to name her Grace Ryan Clouse.

We were able to see her 10 fingers, 10 toes, little working organs, a cute button nose, arms and legs. It was amazing. She already has Pat wrapped around her little finger and he couldn't be happier. A little princess we can call our own.

We can't wait for May 5th, 2010 for her estimated arrival. Let the pigtails, ribbons, and tea parties begin.
