Christmas in Yuma, Birthday at Disneyland

The Sandberg Family spent Christmas in Yuma this year. Yuma was in the midst of a bit of a cold spell, but 60 degrees felt a whole lot better than the 20 degrees it was in Washington!

Highlights of the week included a trip to Chili Pepper, setting up luminaries, a tearful Christmas morning scavenger hunt and a trip to Disneyland!

Nana treated all of us kids, young and old, to a post-Christmas trip to the Magic Kingdom! We all had a great time meeting the characters and riding the rides. We even got to see Disney's newest Princess! Alexis loves her some princess, so she was pretty psyched. Baby Sandberg enjoyed her first trip to the park, especially since Mommy stayed off from the rollarcoasters. Daddy rode enough for the both of them though!

Can't wait to meet this little one in a week!

This montage of photos truly captures the essence of our trip.

As does this one. Alexis was fascinated by my belly, especially my belly button. "When the baby gonna come out?" she'd ask.

Three Weeks and Counting!

I'm working to get Christmas photos up on the blog, but JC and I are still trying to figure out our new camera. So, in the meantime, I thought I would share pictures from my fabulous baby shower this weekend!

Friends Teri, Carrie and Heidi threw an amazing party to celebrate the impending arrival of our little one. I was so overwhelmed by the efforts they undertook to make this a such special day for me; one that I will never forget.

It would be hard to express how much JC and I appreciate the love, support and excitement we have received from our friends and family during this special time. We feel so lucky to have such kind and thoughtful people in our lives and are happy that our daughter will be surrounded by such wonderful influences.
