Christmas

Here are a few of the pictures we took on Christmas morning. Todd filled my stocking with lots of goodies. Sewing scissors, skittles, markers, a game, etc.
Todd and I both got Phase 10 dice for each other, it was pretty funny.
These are the presents from my parents.
For this picture I made Todd open up his eyes as much as possible. As we all know when the Dow boys smile, they tend to close their eyes. This was as good as it gets.

Todd and I had a good Christmas this year. Because we bought a video camera for ourselves this year, we decided that our budget for presents would be pretty small. Even with the tight budget we found some pretty good presents that were great for each other. We also got some good gifts from others. My mom and Dad got us a Book of Mormon for Latter-day Saint Families and Catch Phrase. Mum and Dad got us a gift card to Amazon which we bought the Lord of the Rings trilogy with. Gram bought us a board book for the baby. Between the two of us we got 12 puzzles - I'm very serious. Todd bought me a collection that has 10 puzzles in it.

Month Number 4

Todd took this picture of my on December 18. I was exactly 18 weeks along that day. My bump is getting bigger and bigger. I am glad to say that all the nausea and most of the pains from my first trimester are gone. I've been feeling much better and this truly is the best time of pregnancy for me.

Visitors

These are a few of our visitors over the Thanksgiving holiday. The top one is our nephew Brody.
This is Ian. I can't believe how big he has grown since I've seen him last.
This is our little SPOILED princess Gracee. She is way more tough than her older brother.
This is my mom and our niece McKenna. We were so excited because we all got to see her crawl over Thanksgiving.
