Happy Halfway point! 20 weeks down 20 to go!

Today is our official "hump day" with baby Cram! It's really weird to think how so much has happened but it feels like it has flown by! (we'll see if the second half is the same.) With the holidays we've just had so much going on I couldn't believe when I got thinking about it and we were at 20 weeks! I think I'm stuck back on week 15 for some reason. This is me at work today. 

He's pretty cute I must say. He's getting more and more wiggly in there. As I sit here he is actually rolling around probably wondering where his dinner is. Erik had to proctor an exam tonight so we currently have lasagna in the oven but we aren't going to eat until Erik gets home around 7:30 or 8 so this is the snack I currently have sitting next to me...the boy likes cheese! 

We got an early Christmas present from our landlord a few days ago. A new oven! I'm so glad our old one was from maybe the 70's almond colored and everything. The only problem is it makes the other appliances in our house look dingy. (just look at that dishwasher to the right of it.) 

I decided to get a bit crafty this week and made my nativity I've been meaning to put together for a whole year. I went to Home Depot to find wood to put it on and this nice guy sat there with me and helped me try to figure out just how big of a board I would need and he told me what wood to use that would absorb the paint the best. I thought it was so sweet of him most of those home depot guys probably hate us pinterest people who have no idea what we're looking for, but the craft website says I need this specific item from home depot. He was very patient anyway and I was impressed with him and I got the exact thing I needed. I think it turned out pretty cute!  

This is what we woke up to on Friday morning. Yikes! Where do we live again? I thought we left Utah? Apparently Utah decided to come to us this snow has stuck around since then and the roads are still covered in snow and ice. (5 days later) It got SO cold here I can't wait for it to warm back up again to regular Oregon weather, however the snow was a nice little break from the grey clouds. 

 My artsy photo I took of our cute lights outside with snow on them. I do like snow for the holidays I will admit that.

My other snowy day project was to make a home made wreath. Erik went and collected pine branches and berries for me to make it with. I love having the pine smell in the house without it being the whole tree that you have to water and all that. Our pre-lit tree is just too nice and easy to set up. 

I guess that's it for now. Happy Holidays everyone! We have a lot to be grateful for this year and we love all our friends and family that pray for us and think about us we couldn't be happier!
