Christmas Day!!

I loved waking up to the smell of my dad making breakfast!! All my siblings came over Christmas morning around 10 and we went through our stockings. "Santa" gave me the cutest little ornament.

Then we all opened presents. It's so funny how as you get older, you realize how fun it is to give gifts. I love seeing people's faces when they open gifts. It's the best.

Steph and Anth gave us these adorable baby shoes. I wish they made them in my size.

Isn't it fun that my sister-in-law is pregnant too? And with a boy!! She's due about 5 weeks before I am.

We even got some snow!! It was the first time Georgia's had snow on Christmas day since 1882.

Christmas Eve

It's tradition to go to my dad's parent's house for Christmas Eve. My Oma and her sister, visiting from Germany with Patrick, made a delicious Christmas dinner. As tradition goes, we waited until it got dark, my Papa read the Christmas story from the Bible, we sang Christmas carols, and then opened presents.

Dinnertime!

Georgia Attractions

My parents, being the kind and generous people they are, took us all to the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coke. A few years ago they remodeled the entire World of Coke attraction and this was the first time I got to see the new one. Atlanta has had it's aquarium for 5 years now and it's actually the biggest aquarium in the world!! I didn't ever get a chance to go until this week.

There were 64 different Coke products from around the world that you could sample. "Beverly" from Italy was the worst. Don't try it!

We watched a 4-D movie about the making of Coca-Cola.

An albino alligator

I just think this is a funny picture of my sister.

There was this cool tunnel to crawl through that was under the Penguin habitat.

I'll have to post some videos later on of us petting manta rays and baby sharks. Greg also got to feed one of the rays. It was super fun.

Christmas with the Ishoy's

Sunday we had our Christmas party with my mom's side of the family. We had a gift exchange and lots of yummy food. Here are some shots from the night.

Grandma Ishoy

Mommy. She got a case for her iPad.

My little sister, Lina, got UGA checkers. She's bonkers about UGA.

This is my dad's cousin, Patrick. He's visiting us all the way from Germany this Christmas and it's his first time in America! It's so fun to practice my German with my him.

Greggy got an external hard drive.

My brother, Justin, got a grill utensil set.

Halfway There

Well y'all, I'm officially halfway through my pregnancy. Only 20 more weeks to go and I bet they're going to go by sooooo slowly. I can't wait to have this little baby in my arms.
