Thanksgiving and A Sneak Peek

The holidays are upon us!

Thanksgiving was wonderful and we have so much to be thankful for right now! A new home, great family and friends, good (even though stressful) jobs, and a healthy pregnancy just to name a few. I enjoyed the usual this year: eating all my favorite holiday foods! It doesn't get any better than chicken and dressing and sweet potato casserole! Yummy!



Now it's time for Christmas which is my absolute favorite! I have so many things to look forward too: Journey Thru Bethlehem, our annual Cracker Barrel/Santaland trip, Christmas day, wedding anniversary and SO much more. It's the best! We are working on getting our Christmas cards designed and sent out. I had my cousin come take some pictures for us like she has done in the past. Here is a sneak peek:

It's a.................GIRL!

Looks like Maddie was right all along! She is going to have a "baby dister"!

Jaime, Maddie and I went to a place in Tyler today to have an early gender sonogram done and sure enough....it's another girl! I couldn't be happier and I think that daddy is pretty pleased himself! The experience was great and some other family members got to be there for the occasion. Meet our little girl:



Brooklyn Hope Crouse




I had calculated myself to be 16 weeks today and due around April 23rd, but Miss Brooklyn measured about 5 days larger with an estimated due date around April 18th. Either way, I can't wait for April to get here so I can hold her in my arms!
