Christmas was a crazy day. Christmas Eve we noticed that Marley had cut herself, so we needed to take her to the Vet ER. They cleaned her up, gave her tons of meds and an E-collar. She didn't sleep well that night - so neither did Jonathan nor I. However, at the same time, Jonathan ended up getting really sick, first getting flushed at the ER, then in full on fever and cold sweats when we woke up Christmas morning. So, I ended up doing the best I could to take care of Marley, Jonathan, and get Christmas dinner off and running.

In the end, we had a very nice time. The turkey didn't turn out as well as I would have liked, but no one got sick and we were all full at the end of the meal. :) Jonathan even felt well enough to join us. My mom was a big help getting everything put together for Christmas dinner.

We had our dear friends Tri, Michelle, and their kids Zachary and Emily over for Christmas as well. They were very patient as we waited for dinner and we had a great time spending Christmas with family, and friends that are like family.

After dinner, we thought it was time to document the baby bump and how large I was getting. It's impossible to hide the fact that I'm pregnant now!

At the end of the evening, Jonathan was feeling well enough for us to open up Christmas presents. Mom and Dad Peterson got us this "2nd in Command After Dad" shirt. I'll let Jonathan and Baby Bear think that. ;o)

For Christmas, mom got both of us matching pajamas. Don't we look cute!

Mom got my sister-in-law Anne a set of the same PJs. Anne, you were with us in spirit, dressed in the same PJs - wish you were here!
