Christmas Break 2012

We were blessed with spending time with family and friends over the Christmas break.  Zack had off from Christmas Eve until the New Year so we were able to take a trip to Savannah as well.  We truly enjoyed being able to take it easy and relax for our last official trip before Baby Houston arrives.  For Christmas, we were able to see three of my best friends and their spouses.  It was great getting to hang out with each of them and even see a few of their little ones.  One of my best friends had a boy about two months ago, and it was so exciting to see how big he is already.  It is hard to imagine that our little one will be here soon and growing each day at a fascinating rate!  As of right now, I am 24 weeks along, and the baby is about 1.5 lbs.  As you can see from the pictures I am including, I have definitely gained a little more than that. ;)  After spending the holidays with both of our families, we drove to Savannah the day after Christmas.  We were able to spend 4 nights in the historic district at The Mulberry hotel.  We were in walking distance of River Street and many delicious restaurants.  We explored the Wildlife Refuge, Tybee Island, and Fort Pulaski while in Savannah.  We even got to see Albert!  (Ok..... well.... we saw an alligator that I am calling Albert.)  Also, while in Savannah, we were able to visit with my great uncle Scott and aunt Barbara.  They made a delicious dinner that rivals the cuisine you can get in downtown Savannah.  We are just settling back into town before the new year.  2013 is going to be a pretty amazing year...... our baby boy is coming soon!
