We hope that all of your holidays were relaxing (ha ha) and very special.
We had a nice Thanksgiving at home with family, then spent the rest of the weekend up at the cabin where we enjoyed games, sledding, and of course our anual Christmas tree cutting. 
Grandpa took all the kids for a ride on the snowmobile; woo hoo!
Jon is cutting our beautiful tree. We got a fun bushy one this year!
A couple days after we got home, we put our tree up and decorated it. It looked so pretty.
I usually make pies this time of the year. This is my first apple pie of the season, it turned out so pretty I had to take a picture. Doesn't it make you want to go make a pie so you can eat it... I think I will. Yummy!
Our Christmas season was a lot of fun, busy as usual but fun. We of course did our visit to Temple Square to see the lights, and that is always fun.
Logan's Pre-school did a field trip to the Golden Living Center where they sang Christmas songs and gave out Christmas cards (made at school) to the residents there. They all did such a cute job, and the kids had a lot of fun...this picture is of Logan and his cousin Katelyn who also attends the preschool. They look cute!
Here is our Christmas family picture I never got out, the Christmas season snuck up on us so quickly and we have been trying to get ready for our new and last addtion coming soon. So sorry everyone that you didn't get a Christmas card this year, it's been a crazy one for us. Thank you for sending one to us, you will get one next year...I promise!

Every year on Christmas eve, we sit down as a family (as I'm sure many of you do as well) and talk about the "Christmas Story" and what it means. It really brings the spirit and I love the stories we read. It has become a tradition for our kids to open one gift, which is always their new Christmas pajamas they get to wear to bed. Here is a picture of them in their new jammies.
The boys got robes this year...they were pretty excited about that..JPG)
Here is a picture of me 8 and 1/2 months along. It's still amazing to me after having 3, that babies can fit in our tummies... what a miracle it is.

Hopefully Jon won't kill me for putting this picture up...he still looks handsome though, especially after a long Christmas eve night getting only a few hours of sleep.

This is our 3 little monters out on Grandma & Grandpa Gillis' sledding hill, they had a riot! .JPG)
We had a warm, enjoyable holiday season this year. We feel very blessed to have what we have, and have made some good New Year's resolutions with our kids for 2010. Now we are just waiting for this new baby to come and excited to know what gender it is. I have exactly a week left before the baby comes...that is if I don't go early (so really, any day now). The kids are so excited...Jon and I are a bit nervous too and hope that all goes well, and hope we can keep our sanity. ha ha

2 Your "Two Cents":
I did love the picture of the apple pie - that is my favorite kind of pie. (It's nice to know that other people didn't get Christmas cards out, so thanks for confessing.) ;) And you look great in your picture! Congratulations on being so close to your delivery date - perhaps by the time I have written this you would have had the baby already. But I hope and pray all goes well and that you are feeling good.
I love that you keep your blog updated! Now I'm just waiting to hear good news about your baby. I will pray for you and your family. Love you. Gaylynn
