The Holidays in Pictures

So after I spent three days in the hospital for the blood clots, I got out of the hospital two days before Christmas and then spent the next week with my family for the holidays (I'm still giving myself shots of blood thinner in the stomach twice a day. Picture a large, vein-laden eight month pregnant belly with track marks down each side--HOT.) Anyway, We spent the holiday with my family this year (which was nice, since my parents live in Georgetown--no way I would be traveling far at eight months pregnant anyway). We had 13 people under one roof at my parent's house. Tight quarters, but fun to spend the time together, especially with my sister and her family from Oregon (we don't get to see them much, as you can imagine).

To risk being THAT person that traps you in their living room and makes you watch videos of their vacations, here is an amazingly long string of pictures from Thanksgiving, Will's birthday, Christmas and New Year's (namely because I'm too lazy to write about all of it.) Happy New Year, all!

More second cousins...

On our way home from Dallas with Billy's parents and granny. We stopped at Babe's Chicken (DELISH!) and gorged on fried chicken because we hadn't eaten enough the day before on Thanksgiving....

Walkway of lights in Marble Falls after which we ate at the infamous Bluebonnet Cafe (DELISH!) and gorged on chicken fried steak and pie because apparently we hadn't eaten enough on Thanksgiving or the ensuing two weeks afterward...



Decorating the tree...
